   • 68 BCE – 44 BCE, Cicero, Epistulae ad Atticum 14.15:

     It begins to go better than I had considered, and of course I will not leave the country till you think I may do so with honour.

   • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations 2.15:

     Est mihi tanti, Quirites, huius invidiae falsae atque iniquae tempestatem subire, dum modo a vobis huius horribilis belli ac nefarii periculum depellatur. Dicatur sane eiectus esse a me, dum modo eat in exsilium. Sed, mihi credite, non est iturus.

     • Translation by Albert Clark

       I am not unwilling, O Romans, to endure this storm of false and unjust unpopularity as long as the danger of this horrible and nefarious war is warded off from you. Let him be said to be banished by me as long as he goes into banishment; but, believe me, he will not go.

6. (in periphrastic constructions) to aim, to intend, to mean
   • c. 42 BCE, Sallust, Bellum Catilinae 52.12:

     Sint sane, quoniam ita se mores habent, liberales ex sociorum fortunis, […] ; ne illi sanguinem nostrum largiantur et, dum paucis sceleratis parcunt, bonos omnis perditum eant.

     By all means, since it accords with the spirit of the times, let them play booty with the wealth of the allies, […] ; but let them not make free with our blood, nor, while letting a few villains go scot free, aim to bring all good citizens to confusion.

   • 27 BCE – 25 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita XXVIII.41.2:

     Si aut bellum nullum in Italia aut is hostis esset, ex quo victo nihil gloriae quaereretur, qui te in Italia retineret, etsi id bono publico faceret, simul cum bello materiam gloriae tuae ire ereptum videri posset.

     If there were no war on Italian soil, or if the enemy were one in whose defeat there would be no glory, the man who kept you in Italy (even though it were done for the good of the state) might appear to be intending to cut you off both from fighting and from a chance to win laurels.

   • 27 BCE – 25 BCE, Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita IX.8.11–15:

8. (business) to go for; to be sold at (a certain price)

   Synonym: vēneō

   • 397 CE, Claudian, In Eutropium I.203:

     quidquid se Tigris ab Haemo dividit, hoc certa proponit merce locandum institor imperii, caupo famosus honorum. hic Asiam villa pactus regit; ille redemit coniugis ornatu Syriam; dolet ille paterna Bithynos mutasse domo. subfixa patenti vestibulo pretiis distinguit regula gentes: tot Galatae, tot Pontus eat, tot Lydia nummis...

     All the country between the Tigris and Mount Haemus he exposes for sale at a fixed price, this huckster of empire, this infamous dealer in honours. This man governs Asia for the which his villa has paid. That man buys Syria with his wife’s jewels. Another repents of having taken Bithynia in exchange for his paternal mansion. Fixed above the open doors of his hall is a list giving the provinces and their prices: so much for Galatia, for Pontus so much, so much may buy one Lydia...

Monosyllabic conjugations were increasingly avoided in Classical Latin and into Late Latin. They survive nowhere in Romance.

Irregular, but similar to fourth conjugation. The third principal part iī occasionally appears as īvī in Plautus, but never in Cicero, Caesar, Sallust, or Livy. The perfect active infinitive and pluperfect subjunctive stem īsse occurs twice as iisse in the PHI corpus.^[1]

¹The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.

In every case there has been extensive suppletion with other verbs, especially vadō. In many cases /j-/ has been extended from conjugations such as eāmus (> /ˈjamus/)^[2] to other inflections, hence the initial consonant of Italian gire, etc.
