Liv. 4, 45.—Animum advertere, to observe a thing by directing the mind to it, to observe, to notice, to remark, to perceive (in the class. period contracted to animadvertere, q. v.).—Constr. with two accusatives, animum advertere aliquid (where aliquid may be regarded as depending on the prep. in comp., Roby, § 1118, or on animum advertere, considered as one idea, to observe), with acc. and inf., or rel. clause (the first mode of construction, most frequent with the pronouns id, hoc, illud, etc., is for the most part ante-class., and appears in Caes., Cic., and Sall. as an archaism):C.et hoc animum advorte,
Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 43:hanc edictionem,

Liv. 24, 48. Sometimes advertere alone = animum advertere; so once in Cicero's letters: nam advertebatur Pompeii familiares assentiri Volcatio, Fam. 1, 1 (although here, as well as almost everywhere, the readings fluctuate between advertere and animadvertere; cf. Orell. ad h. l.; animadvertebatur, B. and K.). So Verg. in the imp.:qua ratione quod instat, Confieri possit, paucis, adverte, docebo,

id. ib. 2, 17: recentia veteraque odia advertit, drew them on himself, id. ib. 4, 21 al.—To call the attention of one to a definite act, i. e. to admonish of it, to urge to it (cf. II. A.):E.non docet admonitio, sed advertit,
i. e. directs attention, Sen. Ep. 94:advertit ea res Vespasiani animum, ut, etc.,
Tac. H. 3, 48.—Advertere in aliquem, for the more usual animadvertere in aliquem, to attend to one, i. e. to punish one (only in Tac.):1.in P. Marcium consules more prisco advertere,
Tac. A. 2, 32:ut in reliquos Sejani liberos adverteretur,
id. ib. 5, 9 (cf. id. Germ. 7, 3: animadvertere).—Hence,adversus (archaic advor-), a, um, P. a., turned to or toward a thing, with the face or front toward, standing over against, opposite, before, in front of (opp. aversus).A.In gen.:B.solem adversum intueri,

Caes. B. G. 2, 8 Herz. So, hostes adversi, who make front against one advancing or retreating, id. ib. 2, 24:L. Cotta legatus in adversum os fundā vulneratur,
in front, Caes. B. G. 5, 35; cf. Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 1; Liv. 21, 7 fin. al.; hence, vulnus adversum, a wound in front (on the contr., vulnus aversum, a wound in the back), Cic. Har. Resp. 19:adversis vulneribus,
Aur. Vict. Vir. Illustr. 35, 4:judicibus cicatrices adversas ostendere,

ad-verto (archaic advor-), ti, sum, 3, v. a., to turn a thing to or toward a place (in this signif., without animus; mostly poet.; syn.: observare, animadvertere, videre, cognoscere).I.Lit.A.In gen., with in or dat.:B.illa sese huc advorterat in hanc nostram plateam,

Cic. Off. 2, 19, 68:adverterent animos, ne quid novi tumultūs oriretur,
Liv. 4, 45.—Animum advertere, to observe a thing by directing the mind to it, to observe, to notice, to remark, to perceive (in the class. period contracted to animadvertere, q. v.).—Constr. with two accusatives, animum advertere aliquid (where aliquid may be regarded as depending on the prep. in comp., Roby, § 1118, or on animum advertere, considered as one idea, to observe), with acc. and inf., or rel. clause (the first mode of construction, most frequent with the pronouns id, hoc, illud, etc., is for the most part ante-class., and appears in Caes., Cic., and Sall. as an archaism):C.et hoc animum advorte,
Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 43:hanc edictionem,
id. ib. 1, 2, 10:haec animum te advertere par est,
Lucr. 2, 125:animum adverti columellam e dumis eminentem,

And. prol. 8: quid ille sperare possit, animum adverte, Dolab. ap. Cic. Fam. 9, 9:quam multarum rerum ipse ignarus esset... animum advertit,
Liv. 24, 48. Sometimes advertere alone = animum advertere; so once in Cicero's letters: nam advertebatur Pompeii familiares assentiri Volcatio, Fam. 1, 1 (although here, as well as almost everywhere, the readings fluctuate between advertere and animadvertere; cf. Orell. ad h. l.; animadvertebatur, B. and K.). So Verg. in the imp.:qua ratione quod instat, Confieri possit, paucis, adverte, docebo,
attend! Verg. A. 4, 115.—In the histt., esp. Tac. and Pliny, more frequently:donec advertit Tiberius,

id. ib. 2, 17: recentia veteraque odia advertit, drew them on himself, id. ib. 4, 21 al.—To call the attention of one to a definite act, i. e. to admonish of it, to urge to it (cf. II. A.):E.non docet admonitio, sed advertit,
i. e. directs attention, Sen. Ep. 94:advertit ea res Vespasiani animum, ut, etc.,
Tac. H. 3, 48.—Advertere in aliquem, for the more usual animadvertere in aliquem, to attend to one, i. e. to punish one (only in Tac.):1.in P. Marcium consules more prisco advertere,
Tac. A. 2, 32:ut in reliquos Sejani liberos adverteretur,
id. ib. 5, 9 (cf. id. Germ. 7, 3: animadvertere).—Hence,adversus (archaic advor-), a, um, P. a., turned to or toward a thing, with the face or front toward, standing over against, opposite, before, in front of (opp. aversus).A.In gen.:B.solem adversum intueri,
Cic. Somn. Scip. 5:Iris... Mille trahens varios adverso sole colores,

Caes. B. G. 2, 8 Herz. So, hostes adversi, who make front against one advancing or retreating, id. ib. 2, 24:L. Cotta legatus in adversum os fundā vulneratur,
in front, Caes. B. G. 5, 35; cf. Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 1; Liv. 21, 7 fin. al.; hence, vulnus adversum, a wound in front (on the contr., vulnus aversum, a wound in the back), Cic. Har. Resp. 19:adversis vulneribus,
Aur. Vict. Vir. Illustr. 35, 4:judicibus cicatrices adversas ostendere,

C. 3, 107.— Subst.: adversum, i, the opposite: hic ventus a septentrionibus oriens adversum tenet Athenis proficiscentibus, [p. 50] holds the opposite to those sailing from Athens, i. e. blows against them, Nep. Milt. 1 (so Nipperdey; but v. Hand, Turs. I. p. 183). — Adv.: ex adverso, also written exadverso and exadversum, opposite to, over against, ek tou enantiou:portus ex adverso urbi positus,

11 advorto
ad-verto (archaic advor-), ti, sum, 3, v. a., to turn a thing to or toward a place (in this signif., without animus; mostly poet.; syn.: observare, animadvertere, videre, cognoscere).I.Lit.A.In gen., with in or dat.:B.illa sese huc advorterat in hanc nostram plateam,

id. ib. 12, 555: adverti with acc. poet. for verti ad:Scythicas advertitur oras,
Ov. M. 5, 649 (cf. adducor litora remis, id. ib. 3, 598, and Rudd. II. p. 327).Fig.A.Animum (in the poets and Livy also animos, rarely mentem) advertere; absol., or with adv. or ad aliquid, or alicui rei, to direct the mind, thoughts, or attention to a thing, to advert to, give attention to, attend to, to heed, observe, remark:B.si voles advortere animum, Enn. ap. Var. L. L. 7, § 89 Müll. (Trag. v. 386 Vahl.): facete advortis animum tuum ad animum meum,
Plaut. Mil. 1, 1, 39:nunc huc animum advortite ambo,
id. ib. 3, 1, 169:advertunt animos ad religionem,
Lucr. 3, 54:monitis animos advertite nostris,
Ov. M. 15, 140:animum etiam levissimis rebus adverterent,

Cic. Off. 2, 19, 68:adverterent animos, ne quid novi tumultūs oriretur,
Liv. 4, 45.—Animum advertere, to observe a thing by directing the mind to it, to observe, to notice, to remark, to perceive (in the class. period contracted to animadvertere, q. v.).—Constr. with two accusatives, animum advertere aliquid (where aliquid may be regarded as depending on the prep. in comp., Roby, § 1118, or on animum advertere, considered as one idea, to observe), with acc. and inf., or rel. clause (the first mode of construction, most frequent with the pronouns id, hoc, illud, etc., is for the most part ante-class., and appears in Caes., Cic., and Sall. as an archaism):C.et hoc animum advorte,
Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 43:hanc edictionem,
id. ib. 1, 2, 10:haec animum te advertere par est,
Lucr. 2, 125:animum adverti columellam e dumis eminentem,

And. prol. 8: quid ille sperare possit, animum adverte, Dolab. ap. Cic. Fam. 9, 9:quam multarum rerum ipse ignarus esset... animum advertit,
Liv. 24, 48. Sometimes advertere alone = animum advertere; so once in Cicero's letters: nam advertebatur Pompeii familiares assentiri Volcatio, Fam. 1, 1 (although here, as well as almost everywhere, the readings fluctuate between advertere and animadvertere; cf. Orell. ad h. l.; animadvertebatur, B. and K.). So Verg. in the imp.:qua ratione quod instat, Confieri possit, paucis, adverte, docebo,
attend! Verg. A. 4, 115.—In the histt., esp. Tac. and Pliny, more frequently:donec advertit Tiberius,

Plin. 8, 10, 10, § 29:ut multos adverto credidisse,

Plin. 25, 2, 3, § 5; cf. Drak. ad Liv. 4, 27, 8.—To draw or turn something, esp. the attention of another, to or upon one's self (in the histt.):D.gemitus ac planctus militum aures oraque advertere,
Tac. A. 1, 41:octo aquilae imperatorem advertere,
id. ib. 2, 17: recentia veteraque odia advertit, drew them on himself, id. ib. 4, 21 al.—To call the attention of one to a definite act, i. e. to admonish of it, to urge to it (cf. II. A.):E.non docet admonitio, sed advertit,
i. e. directs attention, Sen. Ep. 94:advertit ea res Vespasiani animum, ut, etc.,
Tac. H. 3, 48.—Advertere in aliquem, for the more usual animadvertere in aliquem, to attend to one, i. e. to punish one (only in Tac.):1.in P. Marcium consules more prisco advertere,
Tac. A. 2, 32:ut in reliquos Sejani liberos adverteretur,
id. ib. 5, 9 (cf. id. Germ. 7, 3: animadvertere).—Hence,adversus (archaic advor-), a, um, P. a., turned to or toward a thing, with the face or front toward, standing over against, opposite, before, in front of (opp. aversus).A.In gen.:B.solem adversum intueri,
Cic. Somn. Scip. 5:Iris... Mille trahens varios adverso sole colores,
Verg. A. 4, 701; id. G. 1, 218:antipodes adversis vestigiis stant contra nostra vestigia,

Caes. B. G. 2, 8 Herz. So, hostes adversi, who make front against one advancing or retreating, id. ib. 2, 24:L. Cotta legatus in adversum os fundā vulneratur,
in front, Caes. B. G. 5, 35; cf. Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 1; Liv. 21, 7 fin. al.; hence, vulnus adversum, a wound in front (on the contr., vulnus aversum, a wound in the back), Cic. Har. Resp. 19:adversis vulneribus,
Aur. Vict. Vir. Illustr. 35, 4:judicibus cicatrices adversas ostendere,
Cic. de Or. 2, 28:cicatrices populus Romanus aspiceret adverso corpore exceptas,
