“upon” in Latin

[Vid: ON][Vid: ON]. Upon my honor [Vid: HONOR]. Upon condition, either ablative only, or with sub; upon condition of his not writing any more, sub ea conditione, ne quid postea scriberet. It is now and then (not in Cic.) followed by si; e.g., librum tibi ea conditione daret, si reciperes te correcturum esse (Caecina, ap., Cic., Fam. 6, 7, 4). ☞ (1) “A book on friendship” must be liber, qui est de amicitia, etc. (2) Super takes the accusative after a verb of motion; e.g., he sat down upon an asp, super aspidem assidit (Cic.) [but not after ponere; Vid: ON]: to be thrown headforemost upon the stakes, super vallum praecipitari (Sall.). (3) “Upon this” etc. (in the continuation of a narrative) is often translated by the ablative absolute, the participle being such as describes the previous action; e.g., quo facto; also by tum, hic, etc. (4) Upon, often = concerning, about, etc., super with ablative; e.g., hac super re scribam ad te, more commonly de aliqua re scribere. (5) It is also used accumulatively; e.g., sorrow upon sorrow, novus super veterem luctus (Liv.); wound upon wound, vulnus super vulnus (Liv.). (6) With the “upon” of rest, the accusative is used of extension in space = on the upper surface of anything; e.g., super tabernaculum Darii imago solis fulgebat (Curt.); collis erat, collemque super planissima campi Area (Ov.). To be quartered upon anybody, collocari apud aliquos.
