Ovid, Met. i. 409. Mutatur in ossa. From mutor, muto, the transition to moveor and moveo is brief. Moveor has been recognised as a deponent verb by grammarians, and in Lucretius is frequently used. Cf. Lucr., i. 341, 375, 431, et passim; also Caes., G. ii. 31, Liv., xxii. 5, 3; and Liv., v. 49, 1. Gallos summoveri jubet. He commanded the Gauls to void. (Phil. Holland.) In mod. Eng., to clear out. -premo. Plaut., Most. i. 3, 46. Vix comprimor, quin involem illi in oculos Stimulatrici. I hardly restrain myself from flying at the eyes of yon bawd. Queatur. Queor = queo. Thus: Lucr., i. 1045. Dum veniant aliae, ae suppleri summa quateur. Lucr., iii. 785. Denique in aethere non arbor, non aequore in alto Nubeis esse queunt. See, further, Lewis and Short, s.v. Rumpi. Ter., Adelph. 588. Aeschinus odiose cessat; prandium corrumpitur. Aeschinus is abominably late; the dinner is spoiling. Sisti. Liv., ii. 29, 8. Nec sisti posse. Liv., ii. 44, 10. Sisti potuisse. Liv., iii. 9, 8. Nec potuisse sisti. Liv., iii. 20, 8. Sisti posset. Also a crucial passage in Liv., iii. 13, 6. In vincula conjici vetant; sisti reum, pecuniamque, nisi sistatur, populo promitti, placere pronuntiant. The tribunes forbid his being cast into chains; they announce it as their pleasure that the defendant is to appear [i.e., to present himself], and, in case of non-appearance, his property is to be sequestered.
