not in Cic. or Quint.): impera suovetaurilia circumagi,
Cato, R. R. 141, 1.—And with two acc. (on account of circum):

Liv. 1, 19, 6:
chamaeleonis oculos ipsos circumagi totos tradunt,
Plin. 11, 37, 55, § 152.— Act. in mid. sense (very rare):
Aegeum pelagus summotas terras hinc ad promunturium, quod Sunium vocatur, magno ambitu mollique circumagit,
rolls around, surrounds, Mel. 2, 2, 8.—
2.
To drive around, produce by going around:
pinctis bobus... aratro circumagebant sulcum,
Varr. L. L. 5, § 143 Müll.—Hence,
B.
T. t., to manumit a slave by turning him round. since the slave, in such a case, was taken by his master with the right hand, and turned around in a circle (cf. vertigo, Casaub. Pers. 5, 75 sq., and Dict. of Antiq.);
