This leads to Ovid's request: atque utinam possis, et detur amicius aruum, remque tuam ponas in meliore loco!
Detur aliquando otium quiesque fessis=--Leisure and repose should at times be given to the weary.
Detur digniori=--Let it be given to the most worthy.
Detur pulchriori=--Let it be given to the fairest.
He represents himself as being exactly in the situation of Paris between the different and contending charms of the three Heathen Goddesses, and is equally at a loss on which to bestow his detur pulcherimae.
Detur digno is a maxim which will make men do their best to merit rewards; every man can find courage within his heart to be worthy; but detur digniori is a fearful law for such a profession as the Civil Service.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "detur" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
