THOUSAND
mille (a thousand is PROP. a substantive indeclinable in the sing. but found only in positions which admit a nominative or an accusative. As a substantive it governs the genitive; e.g. mille hominum mille passuum; but mille is also very frequently used as an indeclinable adjective and that in the place of all the cases): milia -ium neuter (several thousand; the declinable plur. of mille). The number of thousands is denoted either by the cardinal numerals or by distributives e.g. duo or bina decem or dena millia; the objects enumerated are put in the genitive after millia; e.g. trecenta millia armatorum unless followed by one of the numeral adjectives; e.g. habuit tria millia trecentos milites. ☞ The substantive is very rarely put in the same case as millia; as in Verg. Aen. 9 132 tot millia gentes arma ferunt Italiae. ☞ None but the poets express the number of thousands by the indeclinable mille preceded by numeral adverbs; as bis mille equi for duo or bina millia equorum. Octavius left a thousand sesterces to each of the praetorian soldiers Octavianus legavit praetorianis militibus singula millia nummorum (☞ not millenos nummos): you shall give a thousand talents every twelve years dabitis millia talentum (☞ not millena talenta) per duodecim annos. When “thousand” is employed to denote a large indefinite number the Latin is mille or sexcenti; e.g. a thousand new plans mille nova consilia: a thousand such things sexcenta similia: multa similia: a thousand thanks summas gratias ago: containing a thousand milliarius: captain of a thousand chiliarchus; (the number) a thousand chilias; or Latin (in late writers) numerus millenarius: by thousands millia; e.g. millia crabronum coeunt: a thousand-fold millies tantum (☞ there is no good authority for millecuplus): a thousand times millies: in a thousand ways mille modis.
