I. In space.
A. With verb of motion (rare): eo die cis Tiberim redeundum est, Varr. ap. Non. p. 92, 11.—
B. With verb of rest: Oppius mons, terticeps cis lucum Exquilinum, Sacr. Argae. ap. Varr. L. L. 5, § 50 Müll.: “cis Tiberim redire,” Liv. 8, 14, 6: “Gallia cis Rhenum perdomita,” Sall. H. 1, 8 Dietsch; cf.: “quae cis Taurum sunt,” Cic. Fam. 3, 8, 4: “cis Euphratem,” id. Att. 7, 2, 6: “Germanos, qui cis Rhenum incolunt,” Caes. B. G. 2, 3: hic primus cis Anienem cum rege Veientium conflixit. Liv. 4, 17, 18: “cis Taurum montem usque ad Halyn amnem,” id. 38, 38, 4: “cis Padum ultraque,” id. 5, 35, 4; Dig. 1, 2, 2, § 32.—

III. Acc. to Priscian, also in other designations of limits = intra: “cis naturae leges, ut ultra naturae leges,” Prisc. p. 987 P.; “but the only passage cited for this meaning is: veniam petens, quod ei cis Vettios, Plautios dissimulavisset,” Tac. A. 11, 30 Ritter (Halm: ei Titios, Vettios; al. aliter), a very corrupt passage.
