Prob. p. 1447 P.; Phocae Ars, p. 1707 P.), = [[Ἄργος]].<br /> [[Argos]], the [[capital]] of [[Argolis]], in the [[Peloponnesus]], [[sacred]] to [[Juno]], also called [[Argos]] Hippium and [[Argos]] Dipsium or Inachium, Plin. 4, 5, 9; 7, 56, 57; cf. Mann. Gr. p. 641 sq.: quaerit [[Argos]] Amymonen, Ov. M. 2, 240; so id. ib. 6, 414; Hor. C. 1, 7, 9: securum per [[Argos]], Ov. H. 14, 34; so Luc. 10, 60: patriis ab Argis Pellor, Ov.

[[Argos]], occurring in the histt., is [[best]] considered as plur., [[since]] the sing. seems [[rather]] to belong to the poets and geographers (e. g. Plin. [[above]] cited); cf. Daehne and Bremi ad Nep. Them. 8, 1.—<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>B</b> Poet., [[Argos]] is [[sometimes]] [[put]] for the [[whole]] of [[Greece]], Luc. 10, 60.—Hence,<br /><b>II</b> Derivv., the adjj.,<br /> Argīvus, a, um (i. e. ArgiFus from ArgeiFos, [[like]] [[Achivus]] from [[Ἀχαιός]]), of [[Argos]], Argive, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 53: [[Argivus]] [[orator]], Cic. Brut. 13, 50: [[augur]], i.e. [[Amphiaraus]], Hor. C. 3, 16, 12 —An epithet of [[Juno]] (as in the Iliad Ἀργεία is an appel. of [[Here]]) as [[tutelary]] [[goddess]] of [[Argos]], Verg. A. 3, 547.—<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>2</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Poet. for Greek or Grecian in gen.: [[castra]], Verg. A. 11, 243: [[phalanx]], id. ib. 2, 254: [[ensis]], id. ib. 2, 393: [[Thalia]], Hor. C. 4, 6, 25 (cf. id. ib. 2, 16, 38: Graja [[Camena]]).—And so Argivi for the Greeks: [[classis]] Argivūm, Verg. A. 1, 40; 5, 672; Hor. C. 3, 3, 67; Val. Max. 5, 1, ext. 4.—<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>B</b> Without digamma, Argēus (Argī-), a, um, Argive or Grecian: [[Argia]] [[sacerdos]], Cic. Tusc. 1, 47, 113 (B. and K., Argiva): [[Tibur]] Argeo positum colono (cf. Serv. ad Verg. A. 7, 670), Hor. C. 2, 6, 5 K. and H.; so, [[Tibur]] Argeum, Ov. Am. 3, 6, 46 Merk. —<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>C</b> Argŏlis, ĭdis, f., = [[Ἀργολίς]].<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>1</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Argive: Alcmene, Ov. M. 9, 276: [[puppis]], id. R.

[[terra]]), the [[province]] of [[Argolis]], in [[Peloponnesus]], Plin. 4 prooem.; Mel. 2, 3.—Hence, Argŏlĭ-cus, a, um, adj., = Ἀργολικός, Argolic: [[sinus]], Plin. 4, 5, 9, § 17: [[mare]], Verg. A. 5, 52: urbes, id. ib. 3, 283: leo, the Nemean [[lion]], Sen. Herc. Oet. 1932 al.—Also Grecian in gen.: duces, the Grecian leaders in the [[Trojan]] [[war]], Ov. M. 12, 627: [[classis]], id. ib. 13, 659 al.—*<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>D</b> [[Argus]], a, um, adj., Argive: [[Argus]] pro [[Argivus]], Plaut. Am. (prol. 98): Amphitruo [[natus]] Argis ex [[Argo]] patre, Non. p. 487, 31. (So the [[much]]-[[contested]] [[passage]] seems to be [[better]] explained [[than]] [[when]], [[with]] Gronov. Observv. 4, 298, [[Argo]] is considered as abl. from [[Argos]], begotten of a [[father]] from [[Argos]], to [[which]] Argis in the plur. does not [[correspond]].)>
