B Transf.
1 In plur., borders, and hence territory, land, country enclosed within boundaries: propere de finibus suis exercitus deducerent, Plaut.

B Transf., like τέλος.
1 An end: in hoc (aequo judicio) uno denique falsae infamiae finis aliquis atque exitus reperiatur, Cic. Clu. 3, 7: dicendi finem facere, id.
