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.

pīlātim, adv. [2. pila], pillar-wise, with pillars.

  1. I. Lit.: pilatim aedificia agere, Vitr. 6, 11, 4.
  2. II. Transf., in milit. lang., in close bodies, in solid columns: sive pilatim, sive passim iter facere volebat, Asellio ap. Serv. ad Verg. A. 12, 121: pilatim exercitum duxi, Scaur. ib.; cf. 1. pilo, and, under it, pilatus.
