Image: ordinal numbers from 11th – 31st
Where the ordinal comprises two parts e.g. septimus
decimus, both parts will decline: septimō decimō
From the 1631 text:
decimō quīntō: on the fifteenth (day)
decimō octāvō: on the eighteenth (day)
vīgēsimō tertiō: on the twenty-third (day)
Note again the use of the ablative to express a specific
point in time: decimō quīntō; on the
fifteenth (day)
