Hence, ver-sus (vors-), or (much less freq.) ver-sum (vors-), adv., turned in the direction of, towards a thing; usu. after the name of a place to which motion is directed (orig. a part., turned towards, facing, etc., and so always in Livy; cf. Liv. 1, 18, 6 Weissenb. ad loc.; 1, 41, 4; 9, 2, 15). Form versus (vors-). After ad and acc.: T. Labienum ad Oceanum versus ... proficisci jubet,Caes. B. G. 6, 33: ad Alpes versus, Cael. ap. Cic.

R. 33, 1: cum undique versum circumfluat,Gell. 12, 13, 20: utroque vorsum rectum est ingenium meum,Plaut. Capt. 2, 3, 8.!*? Versus is said by many lexicons to be also a prep., but no ancient authority can be safely cited for this use. The true readings are: in Italiam versus,Cic. Fam. 4, 12, 1: adversus aedem,Liv. 8, 20, 8: in forum versus,Plin. 10, 43, 60, § 121; and perh. in oppidum, Auct. B. Hisp. 21.
