you put a wrong construction upon this, id. And. 2, 2, 30:
quae sibi quisque facilia factu putat, aequo animo accipit,

E.
In mercant. lang., t. t., to receive or collect a sum:
pro quo (frumento) cum a Varinio praetore pecuniam accepisset,
Cic. Fl. 45; hence subst.: acceptum, i, n., the receipt, and in account-books the credit side:
in acceptum referre alicui,
to carry over to the credit side, to place to one's credit, Cic. Verr. 1, 36, 57; id. Rosc. Com. 2; id. Phil. 2, 16; id. Caec. 6, 17; Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 234 (opp. datum or expensum).—Hence also trop., to owe or be indebted to one, in a good or a bad sense:

ascribe, id. ib. 22; Caes. B. G. 8, 58; id. B. C, 3, 57: Acceptum [p. 18] refero versibus, esse nocens, Ov. Trist. 2, 10. —
F.
In the gram m., to take a word or phrase thus or thus, to explain a word in any manner:
adversus interdum promiscue accipitur,
Charis. p. 207 P. al.—(Syn. nanciscor and adipiscor: he to whom something is given, accipit; he who gets by a fortunate occurrence, nanciscitur; he who obtains it by exertion, adipiscitur. “ Sumimus ipsi: accipimus ab alio,” Vel. Long. p. 2243 P.—“Inter tenere, sumere et accipere hoc interest, quod tenemus quae sunt in nostra potestate: sumimus posita: accipimus data,” Isid. Diff. 1).—Hence, acceptus, a, um, P. a., welcome, agreeable, acceptable (syn. gratus. Acceptus is related to gratus, as the effect to the cause; he who is gratus, i. e. dear, is on that account acceptus, welcome, acceptable;
hence the usual position: gratus atque acceptus).—First, of persons: essetne apud te is servus acceptissimus?
Plaut. Cap. 3, 5, 56:
plebi acceptus erat,
Caes. B. G. 1, 13;
acceptus erat in oculis,
Vulg. 1 Reg. 18, 5.—
