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:

id. 38, 38, 4:

cis Padum ultraque,

id. 5, 35, 4; Dig. 1, 2, 2, § 32.—

In time, within (only in Plaut. and post-class. writers;

in the former always in connection with pauci): cis dies paucos,

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.
