In Chapter XVI of LLPSI (Line: 26) Orberg gives us:
Portus Ostiensis semper plenus est hominum qui in alias terras navigate volunt.
Orbeg explains 'Ostiensis' in the margin as follows: Ostiensis-e < Ostia.
I don't understand this. Is Ostiensis gen of Ostia?!
What does Ostiensis mean?

Re: What does Ostiensis mean?
Ostiensis is the adjective derived from Ostia just as Romanus is the adjective derived from Rome; so it means of Ostia, or from Ostia.
Hope this helps.
