1433. In general a preposition precedes its case: see 178.
1434. Disyllabic prepositions sometimes follow their substantives. Thus,
in Cicero, #contrā#, #ultrā#, and #sine#, sometimes stand after a
relative; so likewise #inter# in Cicero, Caesar, and Sallust;
occasionally also #penes# and #propter#. For #versus#, see 1414; for
#fīnī#, 1419; for #tenus#, 1420.
1435. Of monosyllables, #ad# and #dē# often follow a relative. Also
#cum# often in Cicero and Sallust, and regularly in Caesar. With a
personal or a reflexive pronoun, #cum# regularly follows, as #mēcum#,
#nōbīscum#, #sēcum#.
1436. In poetry and late prose, prepositions are freely put after their
cases.
1437. In oaths and adjurations, #per# is often separated from its proper
accusative by the accusative of the object: as, #per tē de͡ōs ōrō#, T.
_Andr._ 538, _I beg thee by the gods_, _in the gods’ name_.
