Lewis & Short

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

ad-vĕnĭo, vēni, ventum, 4, v. a., to come to a place, to reach, arrive at (syn.: accedere, adventare, adire, appellere, adesse); constr. absol., with ad, in, or acc.

Curc. 1, 2, 55; id. Am. prol. 32; cf. id. Men. 5, 2, 6: advenis modo? Admodum, Ter. Hec. 3, 5, 8; Caecil. ap. Non. 247, 6: procul a patria domoque, Lucr. 6, 1103: ad auris, id. 6, 166; so id. 3, 783; 4, 874; 6, 234: in montem Oetam, Att. ap. Non. 223, 2: in provinciam, Cic. Phil. 11, 12 (so Ov.

    With simple acc.: Tyriam urbem, Verg. A. 1, 388: unde hos advenias labores, Stat. Th. 5, 47 (whether in Tac. A. 1, 18, properantibus Blaesus advenit, the first word is a dat., as Rudd. II. p. 135, supposes, or an abl. absol., may still be doubted).
    Also with sup.: tentatum advenis, Ter. Phorm. 2, 3, 41; so id. ib. 2, 3, 13.
  2. II. Transf.
    1. A. Poet., in adding an entire thought as an amplification of what precedes (for accedo, q. v.): praeter enim quam quod morbis cum corporis aegret, Advenit id quod eam de rebus saepe futuris Macerat, etc., beside that it often suffers with the body itself, this often occurs, that it is itself tormented in regard to the future, etc., Lucr. 3, 825.

G. 2, 27); of time: mterea dies advenit, quo die, etc., appeared, Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 15; so, ubi dies advenit, Sall. J. 113, 5: advenit proficiscendi hora, Tac.
