Outline
• ashes:
      1. 1. cĭnis, ĕris, m. rarely f. (in ordinary sense usu. sing.; in fig. sense, and esp. of the ashes of the dead, more frequently pl.): lye ashes, c. lixivius, Col.: Pl.: ashes extinct and already cold, c. extinctus et jam frigidus, Suet.: to reduce to smoke and ashes, vertere in fumum et cinerem, Hor. (but in ordinary language to reduce to ashes may best be expressed by concremare: v. to consume, burn). Fig. of a dangerous work: you walk over fires concealed beneath the treacherous a., incedis per ignes suppositos cineri doloso, Hor.: the a. of one's native land, cineres patriae, Virg. Esp. of the a. of the dead: he besought him by the a. of his dead brother, obsecravit per fratris sui mortui cinerem, Cic.: swear by the a. of your patron, jura per patroni tui cineres, Quint.
      2. 2. făvilla (hot a.: only sing.): cinders and cast-out a., cineres ejectataque f., Ov.: Plin.: you will sprinkle with the tear that is due the glowing a. of the poet, calentem debita sparges lacrima favillam vatis, Hor.: Virg.: v. embers.
      3. 3. lix, lĭcis, f. (rare): Plin. Phr.: to repent in sack-cloth and a., *in cilicio et cinere poenitentiam exercere, Vulg. (but the expression is unclassical; the Roman mode of exhibiting grief being simply the wearing of unwashed, foul garments: whence the phr. sordidatum, atratum esse: v. to mourn, mourning).

• ASHES
cinis (remains of a burned body, whether stil glowing or burned out; also both sing. and plur., as ashes of a burned corpse): favilla (ashes as light, floating particles, especially when still glowing): lix, genitive, licis (ashes from the hearth; cinis foci, Varr.: lye-ashes). To burn or reduce any thing to ashes, aliquid in cinerem redigere (for any purpose): in cinerem or cineres vertere (= annihilate, destroy): to be burned or reduced to ashes, in cinerem redigi (for any purpose; e.g., horn): in cinerem or cineres verti (to be destroyed, annihilated): conflagrare: deflagrare: consumi (to be burned up or down). Reduced or burned to ashes, in cinerem redactus: ad cinerem ambustus (crumbled to ashes by burning). The fire is burning under the ashes, cinere latet obrutus ignis (tropically, Lucr., 4, 924); ignis suppositus est cinere (doloso, Hor., tropically). To lie in sackcloth and ashes, sordidatum or atratum esse (according to Roman custom). To adjure anybody by the ashes of anybody, obsecrare aliquem per cinerem murtui alicujus. Peace to thy ashes, tua ossa bene quiescant (Petronius); tua ossa molliter cubent (Ov.); bene placideque quiescas (terraque tibi sit super ossa levis, Tibullus).
