astū n (indeclinable)

1. city, Athens specifically
   • 161 BCE, Publius Terentius Afer, Eunuchus 5.5.15–18:

     PARMENŌ. Tum quandam fidicinam amat hīc Chaerea.
     LACHĒS. Hem, quid? amat? an scit iam ille quid meretrīx siet?
     An in Astū vēnit? aliud ex aliō malum.
     PARMENŌ. Here, nē mē spectēs: mē impulsōre haec nōn facit.

     PARMENO. Then, Chaerea is in love with some lyre player here.
     LACHES. Huh, what? He's in love? Does he know already what a prostitute is?
     Or is he come to Athens? From one misfortune to another.
     PARMENO. Master, don't look at me: he doesn't do that with me as impeller.

While by etymology the word can refer to any town, in practice only the town of Athens is ever signified.

Not declined; used only in the nominative and accusative singular, singular only.

• (town): urbs, oppidum
• (Athens): Athēnae
