   • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 4.927–928:

     ‘sarculā nunc dūrusque bidēns et vōmer aduncus, rūris opēs, niteant’

     ‘‘Now the hoes and hard mattocks and the curved plowshare – wealth of the countryside – may they gleam.’’
     (A prayer spoken by the Flamen Quirinalis during the Robigalia to propitiate the deity Robigo or Robigus and prevent agricultural diseases.)

2. farm, estate

• Rūs is one of a handful of common nouns that take the locative case, other examples being domus and humus.
