LINE Copy link • LINE 1. s. Extension in length, linea (general term); lineamentum (as supposed extension; also as a stroke made, Petronius, 79, 4; but no where in Cic., who uses it always in the sense of a geometrical line, or a lineament of the countenance).

(b) In astronomy, the equator, aequinoctialis circulus (Varr., L.L., 9, 18, § 24, Muell. ☞ aequator is not Latin). To cross the line, *in regiones trans circulum aequinoctialem sitas venire.

To write a few lines to anybody, aliquid litterarum ad aliquem dare: he has not written a single line, ne verbum quidem scripsit: line by line (in poetry), per singulos versus: to show in a few lines, paucis exponere: (b) (in military language), ordo (a single line of soldiers): acies (troops in battle array).

Just., 5, 9, 10): from them sprang two lines of Octavii, ab iis duplex Octaviorum familia defluxit: to be related in a direct line to anyone, linea directs contingere alicujus domum (after Suet., Galb., 2); arctissimo gradu contingere aliquem (e.g., on the maternal side, a matre; Suet., Oct., 4): per arctissimos gradus ad aliquem primam sui originem perducere (in a direct line; Vid: Sen., De Ben., 3, 28, 2). (d) In fortification or sieges, opus (general term, ramparts and trenches): fossa, (a trench). A line of circumvallation [Vid: CIRCUMVALLATION]: to draw a line round a place, circummunire aliquid opere or operibus; aliquid circumdare fossa: to occupy the whole line with troops, *per totum opus milites disponere.
