Outline
• lowness:
    1. I. Of position: hŭmĭlĭtas: Cic. Div. 2, 43, 91: but humilitas usu. denotes the lowness of an object in itself, not its mere position: the latter may often be expr. by adj.: in demisso s. humili loco esse, etc.: v. low, adj. (I.).
    2. II. Of stature or perpendicular dimension: hŭmĭlĭtas: l. of trees, h. arborum. Sall. Jug. 49: Caes.: Cic.
    3. III. Of birth, origin:
      1. 1. hŭmĭlĭtas: to look down on the l. of any one's origin, h. cujusquam despicere, Cic. Ph. 13, 10, 23: more precisely, h. generis, Sall. Jug. 73; h. natalium, Plin.
      2. 2. ignōbĭlĭtas (lack of distinction and eminence): l. of extraction, ign. generis, Cic. Mur. 8, 17 (but the term does not denote so humble a position as the Eng.).
      3. 3. obscūrĭtas: v. obscurity.
      4. 4. sordes, ium (extreme l.): v. meanness.
    4. IV. Of price: vīlĭtas: v. cheapness.
