marcus

name

1. A male given name from Latin.

   “Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus sisters sonne to Barnabas, (touching whome yee receiued commandements; if he come vnto you, receiue him:) […]”

   “The two Marci, Livius Denter, and Æmilius, ſucceeding to the conſulſhip, war broke out again with the Æquans; […]”

   “But, as the historian said, there were many Marci in one Cæsar, so there are many Cains and Judases in the best of us all.”

   “At epig. 73.5 the question ‘quis Marcus?’ is much more sensible, because there could have been many Marci to choose amongst.”

   “But 'Marcus?' – a strangely Latinate name for someone born in Sighthill. ('Aspirational mother, boss,' he said. 'Better than Titus.Or Sextus.')”
