    Gell. 12, 13, 20:

    utroque vorsum rectum est ingenium meum,

    Plaut. Capt. 2, 3, 8.
    ► Versus is said by many lexicons to be also a prep.
    , but no ancient authority can be safely cited for this use. The true readings are:

    in Italiam versus,

    Cic. Fam. 4, 12, 1:

    adversus aedem,

    Liv. 8, 20, 8:

    in forum versus,

    Plin. 10, 43, 60, § 121; and perh. in oppidum, Auct. B. Hisp. 21.
