quadrupes (Cic.).
quadruped:
I. Prop. adj., four-footed ("q. and winged animals," Watts's 'Logic'): quadrŭpes, ĕdis (quadrĭpes), prop. going on four feet: q. equus (galloping), Enn. in Gell. 18, 5. Also quadrŭpĕdus, Amm. 14, 2: and quadrŭpĕdĭus, Jul. Valer. res g. Alex. M. 3, 36.
II. Usu. subs. quadrŭpes (sc. bestia), usu. f.: aliam q., Cato R. R. 102: nulla q., Virg. E. 5, 25: but also neut.: crocodilus q. malum, Plin. 8, 25, 37: cf. id. 11, 36, 43: pl. Col. 11, 2.
