r_.

1. Any word denoting a period of time may stand in this construction,
particularly annus, ver, aestas, hiems, dies, nox, hora, comitia (_Election
Day_), ludi (_the Games_), etc.

2. Words not denoting time require the preposition in, unless accompanied
by a modifier. Thus:--

in pace, _in peace_; in bello, _in war_;

but secundo bello Punico, _in the second Punic War_.

3. Expressions like in eo tempore, in summa senectute, take the preposition
because they denote _situation_ rather than _time_.

_B. Time within which._

231. Time _within which_ is denoted by the Ablative either _with_ or
_without a preposition_; as,--

stella Saturni triginta annis cursum conficit, _the planet Saturn
completes its orbit within thirty years_;

ter in anno, thrice in the course of the year.

1. Occasionally the Ablative denotes _duration of time_; as,--

biennio prosperas res habuit, _for two years he had a prosperous
administration_.

THE LOCATIVE.

232. The Locative case occurs chiefly in the following words:--

first and second declensions, to denote the place _in which_; as,--

Romae, _at Rome_; Corinthi, _at Corinth_;
Rhodi, _at Rhodes_.

2. In the following special forms:--

domi, _at home_; humi, _on the ground_;
belli, _in war_; militiae, _in war_;
vesperi, _at evening_; heri, _yesterday_.

3. Note the phrase pendere animi, lit. _to be in suspense in one's mind_.

4. For urbs and oppidum in apposition with a Locative, see Sec. 169, 4.

CHAPTER III.--_Syntax of Adjectives._

233. 1. The word with which an Adjective agrees is called its Subject.

2. Attributive and Predicate Adjectives. An Attributive Adjective is one
that limits its subject directly; as,--

vir sapiens, _a wise man_.

A Predicate Adjective is one that limits its subject through the medium of
a verb (usually esse); as,--

vir est sapiens, _the man is wise_;

vir videbatur sapiens, _the man seemed wise_;

vir judicatus est sapiens, _the man was judged wise_;

hunc virum sapientem judicavimus, _we adjudged this man wise_.

3. Participles and Adjective Pronouns have the construction of Adjectives.
