Linea 1 328:
::::NW - inter septemtriones et occasum solis (spectare)
::::It is odd, though, that constructions of the type 'A is East / West / North / South of B' seem to be so hard to find in literature. A typical example is Varro, who says ''Asia iacet ad meridiem et austrum, Europa ad septemtriones et aquilonem'', implying the position of the speaker as the point of reference. Thus, we would probably have to say ''Luton'' (what's the Latin for Luton anyway?) ''iacet inter plagas orientalem et septemtrionalem Londinii''?--[[Usor:Ceylon|Ceylon]] 12:48, 27 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)
:::::Using the Botanical latin construction and the example given by Iacobus and Neander above, we can say the same thing: ''Luton iacet 40 chiliometra ad plagam boreo-occidentalem Londinii'' -> ''Luton lay 40 kilometers to the northwest of london.''--[[Usor:Rafaelgarcia|Rafaelgarcia]] 13:30, 27 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)
