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. Lit.: nocturna (ex castello), App. M. 8, p. 208, 7; Hier. Ep. 78, 1: eorum ex Aegypto, Vulg. Num. 1, 1; and so in gen. of the Exodus: filiorum Israel, id. ib. 33, 38; 1 Reg. 18, 30.
  2. II. Trop., in rhet. lang., a digression in speaking, like παρέκβασις, Quint. 4, 3, 12; 15; 3, 9, 4; cf. ib. 4, 3: de egressione.
