430. Verbs of placing, though implying motion, take the construction of the place where:
Such are pono, loco, colloco, statuo, constituo, etc.:- qui in sede ac domo collocavit (Par. 25), who put [one] into his place and home.
NOTE.--Compounds of pono take various constructions (see the Lexicon under each word).
- statuitur eques Romanus in Aproni convivio (Verr. iii. 62), a Roman knight is brought into a banquet of Apronius.
- insula Delos in Aegaeo mari posita (Manil. 55), the island of Delos, situated in the Aegean Sea.
- si in uno Pompeio omnia poneretis (id. 59), if you made everything depend on Pompey alone.
