In a corporeal sense.

Mode or way of standing, of holding one's body (at rest), posture, position, attitude, station, carriage; sing. and plur.: Ps. Statur hic ad hunc modum. Si. Statum vide hominis, Callipho, quasi basilicum, look at the way he stands, Plaut. Ps. 1, 5, 41:

stat in statu senex ut adoriatur moechum,

in an attitude of attack, ready, id. Mil. 4, 9, 12: concrepuit digitis, laborat;

crebro conmutat status,

his posture, id. ib. 2, 2, 51:

qui esset status (videre vellem) flabellulum tenere te asinum tantum,

what your attitude was, what figure you cut, in holding the fan, Ter. Eun. 3, 5, 50:

in gestu status (oratoris erit) erectus et celsus, rarus incessus,

attitude, Cic. Or. 18, 59:

Quint. 11, 3, 159:

So of the pose of statues: non solum numerum signorum, sed etiam uniuscujusque magnitudinem, figuram, statum litteris definiri vides,

Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 21, § 57:

expedit saepe, ut in statuis atque picturis videmus, variari habitus, vultus, status,

Quint. 2, 13, 8:

ut illo statu Chabrias sibi statuam fieri voluerit. Ex quo factum est ut postea athletae his statibus in statuis ponendis uterentur,

Nep. Chabr. 1, 3.—And of images in a dream:

ubi prima (imago somni) perit, alioque est altera nata inde statu, prior hic gestum mutasse videtur,

Lucr. 4, 772:

(opp. motus, incessus) quorum (iratorum) vultus, voces, motus statusque mutantur,

motions and postures, Cic. Off. 1, 29, 102:

id. Off. 1, 35, 129:

in pedibus observentur status et incessus,

the posture and gait, Quint. 11, 3, 124.—

Of external appearance, manners, dress, and apparel:

quoniam formam hujus cepi in me et statum, decet et facta moresque hujus habere me similis item,

Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 111:

redegitque se ad pallium et crepidas, atque in tali statu biennio fere permansit,

Suet. Tib. 13.—

Size, height, stature of living and inanimate beings (cf. statura;

post-Aug.): pumilionem, quos natura brevi statu peractos, etc.,

Stat. S. 1, 6, 58: longissimum... aratorem faciemus;

mediastenus qualiscunque status potest esse,

id. 8, 2, 9; so id. 7, 9, 2; 7, 12 med.:

plantae majoris statūs,

Pall. Febr. 25, 20.—

A position, place, in the phrase de statu movere, deicere, or statum conturbare, to displace, drive out, eject, expel, throw from a position (esp. of battle and combat):

equestrem procellam excitemus oportet, si turbare ac statu movere (hostes) volumus,

Liv. 30, 18, 14:

nihil statu motus, cum projecto prae se clipeo staret, in praesidio urbis moriturum se... respondit,

id. 38, 25: Manlius scutum scuto percussit atque statum Galli conturbavit (cf. the next sentence: atque de loco hominem iterum dejecit), Claud. Quadrig. ap. Gell. 9, 13, 16.—So, out of the military sphere, in order to avoid an attack:

ea vis est... quae, periculo mortis injecto, formidine animum perterritum loco saepe et certo de statu demovet,

Cic. Caecin. 15, 42.— Transf., of mental position, conviction, argument, etc.:

saepe adversarios de statu omni dejecimus,

Cic. Or. 37, 129:

voluptas quo est major, eo magis mentem e suā sede et statu demovet,

throws the mind off its balance, id. Par. 1, 3, 15.—Similarly: de statu deducere, recedere, from one's position or principles:

fecerunt etiam ut me prope de vitae meae statu deducerent, ut ego istum accusarem,

Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 4, § 10:

neque de statu nobis nostrae dignitatis est recedendum, neque sine nostris copiis in alterius praesidia veniendum,

id. Att. 1, 20, 2.—So, de statu suo declinare = moveri:

neque dubito quin, suspitione aliquā perculsi repentinā, de statu suo declinarint,
