ambiō (present infinitive ambīre, perfect active ambiī or ambīvī, supine ambītum); fourth conjugation

1. to round, go round, pass around, skirt
   • 39 CE – 65 CE, Lucan, Bellum Civile 1.592–593:

     Mox iubet et tōtam pavidīs ā cīvibus urbem
     ambīrī […]

     He soon orders the whole city by the terrified citizens
     to be marched around […]

2. to surround, encircle
   • 8 CE, Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.32–42:

     Sīc ubi dispositam quisquis fuit ille deōrum
     congeriem secuit sectamque in membra coēgit,
     principiō terram, nē nōn aequālis ab omnī
     parte foret, magnī speciem glomerāvit in orbis.
     Tum freta diffundī rapidīsque tumēscere ventīs
     iussit et ambītae circumdare lītora terrae;
     addidit et fontēs et stagna inmēnsa lacūsque
     flūminaque oblīquīs cīnxit dēclīvia rīpīs,
     quae, dīversa locīs, partim sorbentur ab ipsā,
     in mare perveniunt partim campōque recepta
     līberiōrīs aquae prō rīpīs lītora pulsant.

     • 1922 translation by Brookes More

       And when this God —which one is yet unknown—
       had carved asunder that discordant mass,
       had thus reduced it to its elements,
       that every part should equally combine,
       when time began He rounded out the earth
       and moulded it to form a mighty globe.
       Then poured He forth the deeps and gave command
       that they should billow in the rapid winds,
       that they should compass every shore of earth.
       he also added fountains, pools and lakes,
       and bound with shelving banks the slanting streams,
       which partly are absorbed and partly join
       the boundless ocean. Thus received amid
       the wide expanse of uncontrolled waves,
       they beat the shores instead of crooked banks.

3. to solicit for votes, campaign, canvass
   • 54 BCE – 51 BCE, Cicero, De re publica 1.31:

     Ferunt enim suffrāgia, mandant imperia, magistrātūs, ambiuntur, rogantur, sed ea dant, quae, etiamsī nōlint, danda sint, et quae ipsī non habent, unde aliī petunt.

     For they hold suffrages, mandate orders, magistracies, are campaigned for votes, have bills proposed to them, but grant that that was to be given even if they didn't want it, and what they don't hate themselves, whence others ask for it.

4. to strive to get something from somebody, seek, strive for

Conjugation

At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
