PROCONSUL
by circumlocution with pro consule (e.g. to go as proconsul into Cilicia pro consule in Ciliciam proficisci Cic.) or as one word proconsul (this form is found in Cic.; e.g. Divin. 2 36 76); proconsularis vir (Tac. Agr. 42).

proconsul: prōconsul, ŭlis (rare): Cic. Div. 2, 36, 76: Sall. fr. Usu. better, pro consule, and always so when the subs. in Eng. is an attributive: when I was setting out for Cilicia as p., quum pro consule in Ciliciam proficiscerer, Cic de Or. 1, 18, 82 (where proconsul would have been inelegant). (But proconsul must be used for the subject of a sentence, or when the term is generic: e. g. proconsul edixit; bella a proconsulibus administrantur.)
