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.

† campē (Col. poët. 10, 324; 10, 366), ēs (the Lat. form of the nom. campa is not used), f., = κάμπη.

  1. * I. A turning, writhing: campas dicere, to seek evasions, Plaut. Truc. 5, 50.
  2. II. A caterpillar, pure Lat. eruca, Col. l. l. (cf. id. 11, 3, 63, κάμπαι); Pall. 1, 35, 6 and 13.
