patrimus

A New Latin Dictionary by Charlton T. Lewis Ph.D. and Charles Short, LL. D.

pătrīmus (quantity of the penult uncertain; v. matrimus), a, um (collat. form: MATRIMES ac PATRIMES dicuntur, quibus matres et patres adhuc vivunt, Fest. p. 126 Müll.), adj. [pater],

that has a father living : decem ingenui, decem virgines, patrimi omnes matrimique (Gr. ἀμφιθαλεῖς), Liv. 37, 3, 6; Cic. Har. Resp. 11, 23; Tac. H. 4, 53; Gell. 1, 12, 2; Cic. Lael. ap. Macr. S. 1, 6, 13; Fest. s. v. patrimi, p. 245 Müll.; cf. Mercklin in Zeitschr. f. Alterth. Wiss. 12. Jahrg., Heft 2. pp. 97- 122. (The remark of Servius, ad Verg. G. 1, 31, that patrimi and matrimi were names applied to the children that sprung from a marriage contracted by confarreatio, appears to be unfounded.)
