Adjective Euphrātis/Euphrātid<3-def+.idis> la rare Of the Euphrates river. la Euphrātaeus la Sidonius Apollinaris Epistolae c. 489 Ipse hic Parthicus Arsaces precatur, aulae Susidis ut tenere culmen possit foedere sub stipendiali. Nam quod partibus arma Bosphoranis grandi hinc surgere sentit apparatu, maestam Persida iam sonum ad duelli ripa Euphratide vix putat tuendam; qui cognata licet sibi astra fingens Phoebea tumeat propinquitate, mortalem hic tamen implet obsecrando. Here even the Parthian Arsaces prays that he may be enabled to keep the towering palace of Susa under covenant of tribute; for perceiving that an armament with a vast muster of warlike might is surging up from here to take the side of Constantinople, he thinks that Persia, depressed at the very sound of war, can scarcely be defended by the Euphrates’ bank; and although he feigns himself related to the stars, and vaunts his kinship with Phoebus the Sun, here in Bordeaux he plays a mortal’s part by making supplication.

Quin et ad urbes Euphratides missus / dux quidam praelio Edessam coepit / ibique autographum, imo theographum, / repertum Christi Domini epistolium / donum gratissimum misit ad Caesarem Usage notes Though it functions as an adjective, it has the form of an appositive noun. Used only with feminine nouns such as la rīpa or la gemma. Classical Latin used the genitive singular of la Euphrātēs instead (e.g. "pro ripa Euphratis" and "apud ripam Euphratis" in Tacitus). Declension The earliest attested form is the ablative singular Euphratide, showing the oblique stem Euphratid- and a consonant-stem ending: based on this, the remaining forms can be assumed to be inflected like a third-declension noun in -is, -idis (such as la prophētis prophētis, prophētidis). However, as the word is rarely used, most forms may in fact be unattested. References Further reading Euphrates Euphrates Euphrates
