Verb

Usage notes

When īrī immediately follows the supine form of a Latin verb in an accusative and infinitive clause (indirect statement), the resulting phrase is the future passive infinitive form of that verb in the oratio obliqua:

e.g. "Vidēbat reum absolūtum īrī." (Cic. Verr. II 2,74): "He saw that the defendant was going to be acquitted."

(same meaning: *"Vidēbat fore ut reus absolverētur.")
