17.04.24: A few examples of the fifth declension from the authors

[1] summa igitur āmentia est in eōrum fide ¦ spem habēre, (Cicero) │ It is, therefore, the greatest folly to have hope in their loyalty

[2] hostium aciēs cernēbātur (Caesar) │ and the enemy’s battle-line was in sight

[3] diēbus XXX (Caesar) │ within thirty days

[4] hanc regiōnem diērum plūs trīgintā iter in longitūdinem (Livy) │ This region, extending in length more than thirty days' march

[5] Carmina Burana:

Egestātem │ poverty

Potestātem │ power

Dissolvit ut glaciem│ it melts (them) like ice.
