(preposition) : cis, pronom. stem ki-, whence -ce; Gr. ἐ-κεῖ; cf.: hic, sic, etc. (far more rare than the kindr. citra)
* On this side (opp. uls, ultra, and trans; cf. Varr. L. L. 5, § 83 Müll.; Liv. 5, 35, 4; 5, 33, 9 al.); with acc.
* In space.
* With verb of motion (rare): eo die cis Tiberim redeundum est, Varr. ap. Non. p. 92, 11.
* In time, within (only in Plaut. and post-class. writers; in the former always in connection with pauci): cis dies paucos,Plaut. Truc. 2, 3, 27: paucos cis mensīs,id. Merc. 1, 2, 42 Lorenz ad loc.: cis paucas tempestates,id. Most. 1, 1, 17: cis pauculos dies,Mamert. Grat. Act. Jul. 15: cis mensem decimum,Aur. Vict. Caes. 42, 1.
* Acc. to Priscian, also in other designations of limits = intra: cis naturae leges, ut ultra naturae leges,Prisc. p. 987 P.; but the only passage cited for this meaning is: veniam petens, quod ei cis Vettios, Plautios dissimulavisset,Tac. A. 11, 30 Ritter (Halm: ei Titios, Vettios; al. aliter), a very corrupt passage.
