When in, or at a place is meant the name, If proper in the Genitive we frame: But if it Plural be, and we decline it, After the third to Ablative confine it. Born at London, Natus Londini. The Oracles cease at Delphos, Oracula cessant Delphis.

The proper name of a place, that answers to the questi∣on Ubi where, is put in the Genitive case, but if it be of the third Declension, or wanteth the singular number, it is put into the Ablative case: Humi, militiae, belli, are used like proper names.
