abl. sg. -e in poetry:
 * L&S: "-ĭce freq. in dactyl. and anap. verse"

abl. sg. -e:
 * quae plurima voce peregi / Supplice, Tib. 1, 2, 14 (TLL)
 * supplice voce rogant, Ov. M. 2, 396 al. (TLL)
 * manu supplice, Ov. M. 11, 279 (TLL)

 * L&S: "to denote a temporary attitude or relation, not a permanent characteristic"

abl. sg. -e for the subst.:

 * iam/Iam supplice Varo, Luc. 8, 287; Pompeio supplice mensus, id., 8, 346 (TLL)
 * L&S: "always when used subst."

abl. sg. -i: gen. pl. -um for the subst.: gen. pl. -ium: ntr. pl. *-ia: So supplice seems to be the more common abl. And this could imply gen. pl. *supplicum, compare with A&G (Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar for schools and colleges founded on comparative grammar, 1903, p. 54) : "The Genitive Plural [...] has -um [...] Always in [...] supplex [...]" -80.133.104.220 08:21, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * supplice sic merito, Verg. A. 3, 667 (TLL)

 * repudiatio supplicum, Cic. Mur. 9 (TLL)

 * supplicium, Liv. 24, 30; 29, 16; 35, 34 / *Liv. 24, 30, 14 ; 29, 16, 6 -- maybe the * (from Gaffiot) denotes that it is a conjecture or depends on the manuscript or edition
 * supplicia verba, Cic. Att. 12, 32 -- at TLL it's "supplicibus verbis", so the dictionary (Gaffiot) likely changed the case
