testula illa, that well-known custom of ostracism;
Mēdēa illa, that famous Medea.
c. Possessive and Indefinite Pronouns usually follow their Noun; as,—
pater meus, my father;
homō quīdam, a certain man;
mulier aliqua, some woman.
But for purposes of contrast the Possessive often precedes its Noun; as,—
meus pater, MY father (i.e. as opposed to yours, his, etc.).
d. Where two or more Pronouns occur in the same sentence, the Latin is fond of putting them in close proximity; as,—
nisi forte ego vōbīs cessāre videor, unless perchance I seem to you to be doing nothing.
6. Adverbs and Adverbial phrases regularly precede the word they modify; as,—
valdē dīligēns, extremely diligent;
saepe dīxī, I have often said;
tē jam diū hortāmur, we have long been urging you;
paulō post, a little after.
7. Prepositions regularly precede the words they govern.
