omnes homines

omnĭs, e (omnia is freq. a dissyl. in the poets, as Verg. G. 4, 221; id. A. 6, 33; Lucr. 1, 1106 Lachm.), adj. [etym. dub.; perh. akin to ambo and Gr. amphi] (syn.: cunctus, universus), all, every:

Plaut. As. 3, 3, 23: alia omnia, just the contrary:

te alia omnia, quam quae velis, agere, moleste ferrem,

Plin. Ep. 7, 15, 2; cf. alius, 6: omnia, adverbially, altogether, entirely, in every respect:

[root GEN, gigno, that which belongs together by birth or descent], a race or clan, embracing several families united together by a common name and by certain religious rites; orig. only patrician, but, after the granting of the connubium between patricians and plebeians, also plebeian (syn.: familia, stirps, genus; natio, populus).
