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.

† cĭchŏrĭum or -on (cĭchŏrēum, * Hor. C. 1, 31, 16), ii, n., = κιχόρια (usu. κιχώριον), chiccory, succory, or endive: Cichorium intybus, etc., Linn.; Plin. 20, 8, 30, § 74 sq.; 19, 8, 39, § 129.

cis, prep. [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.

  1. I. In space.

  3. III. 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.
