abs chorago,

abs quivis,

abs terra,

and in compounds: aps-cessero,

and who, perhaps, also used abs conscendentibus,

Caesar maturat ab urbe proficisci,

fuga ab urbe turpissima,

ducite ab urbe domum, ducite Daphnim,

illam (mulierem) usque a mari supero Romam proficisci,

venti a laevo latere in dextrum, ut sol, ambiunt,

oppidum ab Aenea fugiente a Troja conditum,

quemadmodum (Caesar) a Gergovia discederet,

ab Arimino M. Antonium cum cohortibus quinque Arretium mittit,

protinus a Corfinio in Siciliam miserat,

profecti a domo,

of setting sail: cum exercitus vestri numquam a Brundisio nisi hieme summa transmiserint,

classe qua advecti ab domo fuerant,

of citizens: interim ab Roma legatos venisse nuntiatum est,

legati ab Orico ad M. Valerium praetorem venerunt,

Quasi ad adulescentem a patre ex Seleucia veniat,

libertus a Fuflis cum litteris ad Hermippum venit,

Nigidium a Domitio Capuam venisse,

cum a vobis discessero,

multa merces tibi defluat ab Jove Neptunoque,

so a fratre,

a Pontio,

ab ea,

ego te afuisse tam diu a nobis dolui,

abesse a domo paulisper maluit,

tum Brutus ab Roma aberat,

absint lacerti ab stabulis,

quot milia fundus suus abesset ab urbe,

nos in castra properabamus, quae aberant bidui,

hic locus aequo fere spatio ab castris Ariovisti et Caesaris aberat,

terrae ab hujusce terrae, quam nos incolimus, continuatione distantes,

non amplius pedum milibus duobus ab castris castra distabant,

cum domus patris a foro longe abesset,

qui fontes a quibusdam praesidiis aberant longius,

quae procul erant a conspectu imperii,

procul a castris hostes in collibus constiterunt,

tu procul a patria Alpinas nives vides,

v. procul): cum esset in Italia bellum tam prope a Sicilia, tamen in Sicilia non fuit,

tu apud socrum tuam prope a meis aedibus sedebas,

tam prope ab domo detineri,

onerariae naves, quae ex eo loco ab milibus passuum octo vento tenebatur,

duo milia fere et quingentos passus ab hoste posuerunt castra,

picus et cornix ab laeva, corvos, parra ab dextera consuadent,

pleraque Alpium ab Italia sicut breviora ita arrectiora sunt,

non eadem diligentia ab decumuna porta castra munita,

erat a septentrionibus collis,

Exul ab octava Marius bibit,

mulieres jam ab re divin[adot ] adparebunt domi,

Caesar ab decimae legionis cohortatione ad dextrum cornu profectus,

ab hac contione legati missi sunt,

ab eo magistratu,

a summa spe novissima exspectabat,

ut primum a tuo digressu Romam veni,

confestim a proelio expugnatis hostium castris,

statim a funere,

and followed by statim: ab itinere statim,

protinus ab adoptione,

Homerus qui recens ab illorum actate fuit,

Sometimes with the name of a person or place, instead of an action: ibi mihi tuae litterae binae redditae sunt tertio abs te die,

secundo Punico (bello) Scipionis classis XL. die a securi navigavit,

ab hora tertia bibebatur,

infinito ex tempore, non ut antea, ab Sulla et Pompeio consulibus,

vixit ab omni aeternitate,
