To drive or carry off (animals or men), to steal, rob, plunder (usually abigere):

Et redigunt actos in sua rura boves,

Ov. F. 3, 64.—So esp. freq. of men or animals taken as booty in war, while ferre is used of portable things; hence, ferre et agere (as in Gr. agein kai pherein, Hom. Il. 5, 484; and reversed, pherein kai agein, in Hdt. and Xen.; cf.:

rapiunt feruntque,

Verg. A. 2, 374:

vix leni et tranquillo mari moles agi possunt,

carry, build out, Curt. 4, 2, 8:

cloacam maximam sub terram agendam,

to be carried under ground, Liv. 1, 56;

so often in the histt., esp. Caes. and Livy, as t. t., of moving forwards the battering engines: celeriter vineis ad oppidum actis,

pushed forwards, up, Caes. B. G. 2, 12 Herz.; so id. ib. 3, 21; 7, 17; id. B. C. 2, 1; Liv. 8, 16:

accelerant acta pariter testudine Volsci,

Verg. A. 9, 814:

qui vocem cubantes sensim excitant, eandemque cum egerunt, etc.,

when they have brought it forth, Cic. de Or. 1, 59, 251. —Hence, animam agere, to expel the breath of life, give up the ghost, expire:

agens animam spumat,

Lucr. 3, 493:

anhelans vaga vadit, animam agens,

Cat. 63, 31:

nam et agere animam et efflare dicimus,

eodem tempore et gestum et animam ageres,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 8:

Est tanti habere animam ut agam?

Sen. Ep. 101, 12; and with a play upon words: semper agis causas et res agis, Attale, semper. Est, non est, quod agas, Attale, semper agis. Si res et causae desunt, agis, Attale, mulas;

Attale, ne quod agas desit, agas animam,

Mart. 1, 80.—

vera gloria radices agit,

Cic. Off. 2, 12, 43:

pluma in cutem radices egerat imas,

Ov. M. 2, 582.

Trop.

Spec., to guide, govern:

Tros Tyriusque mihi nullo discrimine agetur,

Verg. A. 1, 574; cf. Forbig. ad h. 1., who considers it the only instance of this use, and compares a similar use of agô; v. L. and S. s. v. II. 2.—

In gen., to move, impel, excite, urge to a thing, to prompt or induce to:

si quis ad illa deus te agat,

Hor. S. 2, 7, 24:

una plaga ceteros ad certamen egit,

Cic. Verr. 1, 3:

perpetua naturalis bonitas, quae nullis casibus neque agitur neque minuitur,

opportunitas, quae etiam mediocres viros spe praedae transvorsos agit,

i. e. leads astray, Sall. J. 6, 3; 14, 20; so Sen. Ep. 8, 3.— To pursue with hostile intent, to persecute, disturb, vex, to attack, assail (for the usu. agitare; mostly poet.):

reginam Alecto stimulis agit undique Bacchi,

Verg. A. 7, 405:

non res et agentia (i. e. agitantia, vexantia) verba Lycamben,

Hor. Ep. 1, 19, 25:

id. Epod 7, 17:

diris agam vos,

id. ib. 5, 89:

quam deus ultor agebat,

Ov. M. 14, 750:

futurae mortis agor stimulis,

Luc. 4, 517; cf. Matth. ad Cic. Mur. § 21.—

To drive at something, to pursue a course of action, i. e. to make something an object of action; either in the most general sense, like the Engl. do and the Gr. prattein, for every kind of mental or physical employment; or, in a more restricted sense, to exhibit in external action, to act or perform, to deliver or pronounce, etc., so that after the act is completed nothing remains permanent, e. g. a speech, dance, play, etc. (while facere, to make, poiein, denotes the production of an object which continues to exist after the act is completed; and gerere, the performance of the duties of an office or calling).—On these significations, v. Varr. 6, 6, 62, and 6, 7, 64, and 6, 8, 72.—For the more restricted signif. v. Quint. 2, 18, 1 sq.; cf. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 7, 12; Hab. Syn. 426.

In the most gen. signif., to do, act, labor, in opp. to rest or idleness.

With the gen. objects, aliquid, nihil, plus, etc.:

numquam se plus agere quam nihil cum ageret,

Cic. Rep. 1, 17 (cf. with this, id. Off. 3, 1: numquam se minus otiosum esse quam cum otiosus esset): mihi, qui nihil agit, esse omnino non videtur. id. N. D. 2, 16, 46:

post satietatem nihil (est) agendum,

Cels. 1, 2.—Hence,

Without object:

aliud agendi tempus, aliud quiescendi,

Cic. N. D. 2, 53, 132; Juv. 16, 49:

agendi tempora,

Tac. H. 3, 40:

industria in agendo, celeritas in conficiendo,

Nep. Tim. 5: summo jure agere, to assert or claim one's right to the full extent of the law, Cic. Off. 1, 11:

non enim gladiis mecum, sed litibus agetur,

id. Q. Fr. 1, 4:

causa quam vi agere malle,

Tac. A. 13, 37:

tabellis obsignatis agis mecum,

Cic. Tusc. 5, 11, 33:

Jure, ut opinor, agat, jure increpet inciletque,

with right would bring her charge, Lucr. 3, 963; so,

Castrensis jurisdictio plura manu agens,

settles more cases by force, Tac. Agr. 9:

ubi manu agitur,

when the case is settled by violent hands, id. G. 36.—

Causam or rem agere, to try or plead a case; with apud, ad, or absol.:

causam apud centumviros egit,

Cic. Caecin. 24:

Caesar cum ageret apud censores,

Varr. R. R. 1, 7, 10; so with adversus:

egi causam adversus magistratus,

Vulg. 2 Esdr. 13, 11:

orator agere dicitur causam,

Varr. L. L. 6, 42: causam isto modo agere, Cic. Lig. 4, 10; Tac. Or. 5; 11; 14; Juv. 2, 51; 14, 132:

agit causas liberales,

Cic. Fam. 8, 9: qui ad rem agendam adsunt, M. Cael. ap. Quint. 11, 1, 51:

cum (M. Tullius) et ipsam se rem agere diceret,

Quint. 12, 10, 45: Gripe, accede huc;

tua res agitur,

is being tried, Plaut. Rud. 4, 4, 104; Quint. 8, 3, 13;

and extra-judicially: rogo ad Caesarem meam causam agas,

Cic. Fam. 5, 10:

Una (factio) populi causam agebat, altera optimatum,

Nep. Phoc. 3; so, agere, absol., to plead' ad judicem sic agi solet, Cic. Lig. 10:

tam solute agere, tam leniter,

id. Brut. 80:

tu istuc nisi fingeres, sic ageres?

id. ib. 80; Juv. 7, 143 and 144; 14, 32.— Transf. to common life; with de or acc., to discuss, treat, speak of:

Sed estne hic ipsus, de quo agebam?

of whom I was speaking, Ter. Ad. 1, 1, 53:

causa non solum exponenda, sed etiam graviter copioseque agenda est,

to be discussed, Cic. Div. in Caecil. 12; id. Verr. 1, 13, 37:

Samnitium bella, quae agimus,

are treating of, Liv. 10, 31.—Hence,

Agere aliquem reum, to proceed against one as accused, to accuse one, Liv. 4, 42; 24, 25; Tac. A. 14, 18:

reus agitur,

id. ib. 15, 20; 3, 13; and with the gen. of the crime, with which one is charged:

agere furti,

to accuse of theft, Cic. Fam. 7, 22:

adulterii cum aliquo,

Quint. 4, 4, 8:

injuriarum,

id. 3, 6, 19; and often in the Pandects.—

Pass. of the thing which is the subject of accusation, to be in suit or in question; it concerns or affects, is about, etc.:

non nunc pecunia, sed illud agitur, quomodo, etc.,

Ter. Heaut. 3, 1, 67:

non capitis ei res agitur, sed pecuniae,

the point in dispute, id. Phorm. 4, 3, 26:

aguntur injuriae sociorum, agitur vis legum, agitur existimatio, veritasque judiciorum,

Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 51:

si magna res, magna hereditas agetur,

id. Fin. 2, 17: qua de re agitur, what the point of dispute or litigation is, id. Brut. 79.—Hence, trop.,

Res agitur, the case is on trial, i. e. something is at stake or at hazard, in peril, or in danger:

at nos, quarum res agitur, aliter auctores sumus,

Plaut. Stich. 1, 2, 72:

quasi istic mea res minor agatur quam tua,

Ter. Heaut. 2, 3, 113:

agitur populi Romani gloria, agitur salus sociorum atque amicorum, aguntur certissima populi Romani vectigalia et maxima, aguntur bona multorum civium,

Cic. Imp. Pomp. 2, 6:

in quibus eorum aut caput agatur aut fama,

id. Lael. 17, 61; Nep. Att. 15, 2:

non libertas solum agebatur,

Liv. 28, 19; Sen. Clem. 1, 20 al.:

nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet,

Hor. Ep. 1, 18, 84 (= in periculo versatur, Lambin.):

agitur pars tertia mundi,

is at stake, I am in danger of losing, Ov. M. 5, 372.—

Res acta est, the case is over (and done for): acta haec res est;

perii,

this matter is ended, Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 3: hence, actum est de aliquo or aliqua re, it is all over with a person or thing:

actum hodie est de me,

Plaut. Ps. 1, 1, 63:

jam de Servio actum,

Liv. 1, 47:

actum est de collo meo,

Plaut. Trin. 3, 4, 194.—So also absol.: actumst;

ilicet me infelicem,

Plaut. Cist. 4, 2, 17:

si animus hominem pepulit, actumst,

id. Trin. 2, 2, 27; Ter. And. 3, 1, 7; Cic. Att. 5, 15:

actumst, ilicet, peristi,

Ter. Eun. 1, 1, 9: periimus;

actumst,

id. Heaut. 3, 3, 3.—

Rem actam agere, to plead a case already finished, i. e. to act to no purpose:

rem actam agis,

Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 27; id. Cist. 4, 2, 36; Liv. 28, 40; so,

actum or acta agere: actum, aiunt, ne agas,

Ter. Phorm. 2, 3, 72; Cic. Att. 9, 18:

acta agimus,

id. Am. 22.—

To represent by external action, to perform, pronounce, deliver, etc.

Of an orator, Cic. de Or. 1, 31, 142; cf. id. ib. 2, 19, 79:

quae sic ab illo acta esse constabat oculis, voce, gestu, inimici ut lacrimas tenere non possent,

id. ib. 3, 56, 214:

agere fortius et audentius volo,

Tac. Or. 18; 39.—

Of an actor, to represent, play, act:

Ipse hanc acturust Juppiter comoediam,

Plaut. Am. prol. 88; so,

fabulam,

Ter. Ad. prol. 12; id. Hec. prol. 22:

dum haec agitur fabula,

Plaut. Men. prol. 72 al.:

partis,

to have a part in a play, Ter. Phorm. prol. 27:

Ballionem illum cum agit, agit Chaeream,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 7:

gestum agere in scaena,

id. de Or. 2, 57:

dicitur canticum egisse aliquanto magis vigente motu,

Liv. 7, 2 al. — Transf. to other relations, to represent or personate one, to act the part of, to act as, behave like: has partes lenitatis semper egi, Cic. Mur. 3:

egi illos omnes adulescentes, quos ille actitat,

id. Fam. 2, 9:

amicum imperatoris,

Tac. H. 1, 30:

exulem,

id. A. 1, 4:

socium magis imperii quam ministrum,

id. H. 2, 83:

senatorem,

Tac. A. 16, 28.—So of things poetically:

utrinque prora frontem agit,

serves as a bow, Tac. G. 44.—

Se agere = se gerere, to carry one's self, to behave, deport one's self:

tanta mobilitate sese Numidae agunt,

Sall. J. 56, 5:

quanto ferocius ante se egerint,

Tac. H. 3, 2 Halm:

qui se pro equitibus Romanis agerent,

Suet. Claud. 25:

non principem se, sed ministrum egit,

id. ib. 29:

neglegenter se et avare agere,

Eutr. 6, 9:

id. H. 2, 27:

ex aequo,

id. ib. 4, 64:

anxius et intentus agebat,

id. Agr. 5.—

Imper.: age, agite, Ter., Tib., Lucr., Hor., Ov., never using agite, and Catull. never age, with which compare the Gr. age, agete (also accompanied by the particles dum, eia, en, ergo, igitur, jam, modo, nuncjam, porro, quare, quin, sane, vero, verum, and by sis); as an exclamation.

In encouragement, exhortation, come! come on! (old Engl. go to!) up! on! quick! (cf. I. B. fin.).

In the sing.:

age, adsta, mane, audi, Enn. ap. Delr. Synt. 1, 99: age i tu secundum,

Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 151; id. Capt. 3, 4, 39:

Agedum vicissim dic,

Ter. Heaut. 2, 3, 69; id. Eun. 4, 4, 27:

Quin age,

id. G. 4, 329:

en, age, Rumpe moras,

id. ib. 3, 43:

eia age,

id. A. 4, 569.—

In the plur.:

agite, pugni,

age igitur, intro abite,

Plaut. Mil. 3, 3, 54:

Prop. 1, 1, 21:

mittite, agedum, legatos,

Liv. 38, 47:

Ite age,

Stat. Th. 10, 33:

Huc age adeste,

Sil. 11, 169.—

In transitions in discourse, well then! well now! well! (esp. in Cic. Or. very freq.). So in Plaut. for resuming discourse that has been interrupted: age, tu interea huic somnium narra, Curc. 2, 2, 5: nunc age, res quoniam docui non posse creari, etc., well now, since I have taught, etc., Lucr. 1, 266:

nunc age, quod superest, cognosce et clarius audi,

id. 1, 920; so id. 1, 952; 2, 62; 333; 730; 3, 418;

4, 109 al.: age porro, tu, qui existimari te voluisti interpretem foederum, cur, etc.,

Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 22; so id. Rosc. Am. 16; id. Part. 12; id. Att. 8, 3.—And age (as in a.) with a verb in the plur.:

age, sit ita factum,

Cic. Mil. 19:

age sane,

Plaut. Ps. 5, 2, 27; Cic. Fin. 2, 35, 119.

—Age, used with another verb in the imperative, regularly stands before it, but in poetry, for the sake of the metre, it,

Sometimes follows such verb; as,

In dactylic metre:

Cede agedum,

Prop. 5, 9, 54:

Dic age,

Verg. A. 6, 343; Hor. S. 2, 7, 92; Ov. F. 1, 149:

Esto age,

Pers. 2, 42:

Fare age,

Verg. A. 3, 362:

Finge age,

Ov. H. 7, 65:

Redde age,

Hor. S. 2, 8, 80:

Surge age,

Verg. A. 3, 169; 8, 59; 10, 241; Ov. H. 14, 73:

Vade age,

Verg. A. 3, 462; 4, 422; so,

agite: Ite agite,

Prop. 4, 3, 7.—

In other metres (very rarely):

appropera age,

Plaut. Cas. 2, 2, 38:

dic age,

Hor. C. 1, [p. 77] 32, 3; 2, 11, 22;

3, 4, 1.—So also in prose (very rarely): Mittite agedum,

Liv. 38, 47:

procedat agedum ad pugnam,

id. 7, 9.—

It is often separated from such verb:

age me huc adspice,

Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 118; id. Capt. 5, 2, 1:

Age... instiga,

Ter. And. 4, 2, 10; 5, 6, 11:

Quare agite... conjungite,

Cat. 64, 372:

Huc age... veni,

Tib. 2, 5, 2:

Ergo age cervici imponere nostrae,

Verg. A. 2, 707:

en age segnis Rumpe moras,

id. G. 3, 42:

age te procellae Crede,

Hor. C. 3, 27, 62:

Age jam... condisce,

id. ib. 4, 11, 31; id. S. 2, 7, 4.—Hence,

ăgens, entis, P. a.

Adj.

Efficient, effective, powerful (only in the rhet. lang. of Cic.):

utendum est imaginibus agentibus, acribus, insignitis,

Cic. de Or. 2, 87, 358:

acre orator, incensus et agens,

id. Brut. 92, 317.— Comp. and sup. not used.

Agentia verba, in the grammarians, for verba activa, Gell. 18, 12.—

Subst.: ăgentes, ium.

Under the emperors, a kind of secret police (also called frumentarii and curiosi), Aur. Vict. Caes. 39 fin.; Dig. 1, 12; 1, 20; 21; 22; 23, etc.; Amm. 15, 3; 14, 11 al.—

For agrimensores, land-surveyors, Hyg. Lim. p. 179.—

actus, a, um, P. a. Lit., that has been transacted in the Senate, in the forum, before the courts of justice, etc.; hence,

actum, i, n., a public transaction in the Senate, before the people, or before a single magistrate:

actum ejus, qui in re publica cum imperio versatus sit,

Cic. Phil. 1, 7:

acta Caesaris servanda censeo,

id. ib. 1, 7:

acta tui praeclari tribunatus,

id. Dom. 31.—

acta publĭca, or absol.: acta, orum, n., the register of public acts, records, journal. Julius Caesar, in his consulship, ordered that the doings of the Senate (diurna acta) should be made public, Suet. Caes. 20; cf. Ernest. Exc. 1;

but Augustus again prohibited it,

Suet. Aug. 36. Still the acts of the Senate were written down, and, under the succeeding emperors. certain senators were appointed to this office (actis vel commentariis Senatus conficiendis), Tac. A. 5, 4. They had also public registers of the transactions of the assemblies of the people, and of the different courts of justice;

also of births and deaths, marriages, divorces, etc., which were preserved as sources of future history.—Hence, diurna urbis acta,

the city journal, Tac. A. 13, 31:

acta populi,

Suet. Caes. 20:

acta publica,

Tac. A. 12, 24; Suet. Tib. 8; Plin. Ep. 7, 33:

urbana,

id. ib. 9, 15; which were all comprehended under the gen. name acta.
