Yet in the best MSS. we find the orthography circuitio, circuitus, and even circueo together with circumeo; cf. Neue, Formenl. 2, p. 736 sq. —Signif.,
    a.
    Acc. to II. A.: circumcido, circumcludo, circumculco, circumfluo, circumfodio, circumfundo, etc.—

    ► With verbs compounded with circum, this preposition is never repeated before the following [p.
    336] object; e. g. circumcursare circum aliquid and similar phrases are not found.
