Belcher. — The Middle Voice in Latin. 15 



Ovid, Met. i. 409. 



Mutahcr in ossa. 



From mutor, muto, the transition to moveor and moveo is 

 brief. 



Moveor has been recognised as a deponent verb by gram- 

 marians, and in Lucretius is frequently used. 



Cf. Lucr., i. 341, 375, 431, et passim ; also Caes., G. ii. 31, 



Liv., xxii. 5, 3 ; and 



Liv.,v. 49,1. 



Gallos summovcri jubet. 



He commanded the Gauls to void. (Phil. Holland.) 



In mod. Eng., to clear out. 



-premo. Plaut., Most. i. 3, 46. 

 Vix comprimor, quin involem illi in oculos 

 Stimulatrici. 



I hardly restrain myself from flying at the eyes of you 

 bawd. 



Queatur. 

 Queor -- queo. Thus : 



Lucr., i. 1045. 

 Dum veniant aliae, ae suppleri summa queatur. 



Lucr., iii. 785. 

 Denique in aethere non arbor, non aequore in alto 

 Nubeis esse queunt. 

 See, further, Lewis and Short, s.v. 



Rumpi. Ter., Adelph. 588. 

 Aeschinus odiose cessat ; prandium corrumpitur. 

 Aeschinus is abominably late ; the dinner is spoiling. 



Sisti. Liv., ii. 29, 8. 



Nee aifiti posse. 



Liv., ii. 44, 10. 



Sisti potuisse. 



Liv., iii, 9, 8. 



Nec potuisse sisti. 



Liv., iii. 20, 8. 



Sisti posset. 



Also a crucial passage in 



Liv., iii. 13, 6. 



In vincula conjici vetant ; sisti reum, pecuniamque, nisi 

 sistatur, populo promitti, placere pronuntiant. 



The tribunes forbid his being cast into chains ; they an- 

 nounce it as their pleasure that the defendant is to appear [i.e., 

 to present himself] , and, in case of non-appearance, his pro- 

 perty is to be sequestered.
