形容詞

praepes (genitive praepetis); third-declension one-termination adjective (non-i-stem)

1. swift (of flight), rapid
   • c. 45 CE – 96 CE, Statius, Thebaid 6.298:

     dic inclyta, Phoebe, regentum
     nomina, dic ipsos ; neque enim generosior umquam
     alipedum conlata acies, ceu praepete cursu
     confligant densae volucres aut litore in uno
     Aeolus insanis statuat certamina ventis.

     Tell, O Phoebus, the drivers' famous names, tell of the steeds themselves ; for never did nobler array of wing-footed coursers meet in conflict : even as serried ranks of birds compete in swift course or on a single shore Aeolus appoints a contest for the wild winds.

   • c. 54 CE, Seneca the Younger, Phaedra 1061:

     ut cepit animos seque praetemptans satis
     prolusit irae, praepeti cursu evolat,
     summam citato vix gradu tangens humum,
     et torva currus ante trepidantis stetit.

     When he has gained his spirit, and with full trial rehearsed his wrath, he darts forth, running swiftly, scarce touching the surface of the ground with flying feet, and stands, in grim menace, before the trembling steeds.

   • Decimus Magnus Ausonius, Ephemeris 7:

     Puer, notarum praepetum
     sollers minister, advola.

     Hi boy! My secretary, skilled in dashing shorthand, make haste and come!

   • 239 BCE – 169 BCE, Ennius, Annales 1.89:

     • 2018 translation by Sander M. Goldberg, Gesine Manuwald

       Just as the golden sun arises, there comes descending from the sky a dozen blessed bodies of birds, settling themselves on fine and favorable seats.

語形変化

Third-declension one-termination adjective (non-i-stem).

• Displays a mix of consonant-stem and i-stem forms. The ablative singular can end in -ī or -e. The consonant-stem genitive singular praepetum is found in Gellius and Servius (although in the case of the latter praepetium is a variant manuscript reading). The neuter plural nominative/accusative/vocative form is not attested at all in Classical Latin. (The i-stem form praepetia can be found in some New Latin texts.)
