Ov. M. 8, 405:

Hannibal precatur deos ut incolumi cedere atque abire liceat,

id. And. 4, 5, 10:

ut id, quoad posset, quod fas esset, quoad liceret, populi ad partes daret,

Cic. Agr. 2, 7, 19.

Transf. When licet introduces a subordinate proposition, which makes a concession, without abandoning the main proposition, it is used as a conjunction corresponding to quamvis, quamquam, etsi. In late Latin it is, like these, connected with the indicative, and in the class. per. it is not unfreq. opposed to tamen and certe in the main proposition; even if, although, notwithstanding.
