not the last, least, Verg. G. 3, 404; cf.:

non in postremis, i. e. in primis,

especially, Cic. Fam. 1, 9, 17.— postrēmō, adv., at last, finally (class.), Caes. B. G. 7, 1:

omnes urbes, agri, regna denique, postremo etiam vectigalia vestra venierint,

Cic. Agr. 2, 23, 62:

primum... deinde... postremo: denique... postremo,

id. N. D. 1, 37, 104; Hor. S. 2, 2, 132: ad postremum, at last, finally, ultimately:

sed ad postremum nihil apparet,

Plaut. Poen. 4, 2, 23; Sall. Fragm. ap. Aug. Civ. Dei, 3, 17; Liv. 38, 16; Hirt. B. G. 8, 43: postremum, for the last time:

si id facis, hodie postremum me vides, Ter And. 2, 1, 22: in quo (vestigio) ille postremum institisset,

Cic. de Or. 3, 2, 6: postremum, at last:

postremum mel et acetum superfundes,

Pall. 12, 22.—

Trop., the last, lowest, basest, meanest, worst (class.):

postremum genus,

Cic. Cat. 2, 10, 22: ut homines postremi pecuniis alienis locupletarentur, id. Rosc. Am. 47, 137:

servitus postremum malorum omnium,

id. Phil. 2, 44, 113.—Hence, ante- and post-class., a new comp. postremior, and sup. postremissimus:

ut possit videri nullum animal in terris homine postremius,

App. de Deo Socr. p. 43 fin.: omnium nationum postremissimum nequissimumque existimatote, C. Gracch. ap. Gell. 15, 12, 3:

cum adulescentulis postremissimis,

App. Mag. p. 336.—

po-stŭmus (acc. to an erroneous derivation, from post - humus, sometimes also post-humus), a, um, the last, said esp. of the youngest children, or of those born after the father's death, or after he had made his will, late-born, posthumous:

Silvius... tua postuma proles, Quem tibi longaevo serum Lavinia conjux Educet silvis,

late-born son, Verg. A. 6, 763; cf. with this passage: postuma proles non eum significat, qui patre mortuo, sed qui postremo loco natus est, sicuti Silvius, qui Aeneā jam sene, tardo seroque partu est editus, Caesellius Vindex ap. Gell. 2, 16, 5.—On the other hand:

is, qui post patris mortem natus est, dicitur postumus,

Varr. L. L. 9, § 60 Müll.; and:

postumus cognominatur post patris mortem natus,

Fest. p. 238 Müll.; Plaut. ap. Fest. l. l.—As subst.: postŭmus, i, m., a posthumous child:

non minus postumis quam jam natis testamento tutores dari posse,

Gai. Inst. 1, 147:

si quis postumis dederit tutores, hique vivo eo nascantur, an datio valeat?

Dig. 26, 2, 16 fin.:

postuma spes,

the last, App. M. 4, p. 144, 26:

suscipit doctrinam seram plane et postumam,

id. Mag. p. 297, 23:

cena quam postumā diligentiā praeparaverat,

with extreme care, id. M. 6, p. 186, 25.—

Subst.: postŭmum, i, n., that which is last, the end, extremity:

de postumo corporis,

Tert. adv. Gnost. 1.
