副詞

dīvīnitus (not comparable)

1. from the gods, from heaven, by divine action
   • 121 CE, Suetonius, De vita Caesarum 5.13.2:

     Bellum cīvīle mōvit Fūrius Camillus Scrībōniānus Delmatiae lēgātus; vērum intrā quīntum diem oppressus est legiōnibus, quae sacrāmentum mūtāverant, in paenitentiam religiōne conversīs, postquam dēnūntiātō ad novum imperātōrem itinere cāsū quōdam ac dīvīnitus neque aquila ōrnārī neque sīgna convellī movērīque potuērunt.

     Furius Camillus Scribonianus set a civil war in motion; but within five days he was overcome by his legions, turnt to penitence by religion, who had shifted allegiance after, by chance and by divine intervention, nor could the eagle be adorned, nor the standards be pulled up and moved, when a march to the new commander was announced.

   • c. 177 CE, Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 15.22.3–5:

     Illud adeō Sertōrī nōbile est: cerva alba eximiae pulchritūdinis et vīvācissimae celeritātis ā Lūsitānō eī quōdam dōnō data est. Hanc sibi oblātam dīvīnitus et īnstīnctam Diānae nūmine conloquī sēcum monēreque et docēre quae ūtilia factū essent, persuādēre omnibus īnstitit ac, sī quid dūrius vidēbātur quod imperandum mīlitibus foret, ā cervā sēsē monitum praedicābat.

     This deed of Sertorius is very well known: a white hind of distinguished beauty and liveliest swiftness was given to him as a gift by some Lusitanian. He set to persuade everybody that it had been given to him from heaven, and that, instigated by the will of Diana, could speak to him and warn and advise what were advantageous to do, and, if what was to be ordered to the soldiers was judged more troublesome, he presented it as instructed to him by the hind.

2. by divine inspiration
