Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

  1. I. A river in Sarmatia, Ov. P. 4, 10, 54.
  2. II. One of the seamen whom Bacchus changed into dolphins, Ov. M. 3, 617.
  3. III. The father of the Athenian king Codrus, Vell. 1, 2, 1.
