id. Or. 65, 220:

redigere omnes fere in quadrum numerumque sententias,

id. ib. 61, 208.—Hence, quamvis nil extra numerum fecisse modumque Curas, nothing out of measure, improper, Hor. Ep. 1, 18, 59.—

A measure, number, in poetry:

nam cum sint numeri plures, iambum et trochaeum frequentem segregat ab oratore Aristoteles,

Cic. de Or. 3, 47, 182; id. Or. 64, 215:

numeris nectere verba,

i. e. verses in heroic metre, Ov. Am. 1, 1, 1:

Just, precisely, at the right time, on the instant: numero mihi in mentem fuit. Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 25: neminem vidi, qui numero sciret, quod scitu est opus, Naev. ap. Fest. p. 170 Müll.—

Quickly, rapidly, soon:

numero significat cito,

Non. 352, 16 sq.:

(apes) si quando displicatae sunt, cymbalis et plausibus numero reducunt in locum unum,

Varr. R. R. 3, 16, 7. —With nimis: perfalsum et abs te creditum numero nimis, too quickly, too soon, Afran. ap. Paul. ex Fest. p. 170 Müll.: numquam nimis numero quemquam vidi facere, quam facto est opus, Turp. ap. Non. 352, 20.—

In a bad sense, too quickly, too hastily, too soon:

Menaechme, numero huc advenis ad prandium: Nunc opsonatu redeo,

Plaut. Men. 2, 2, 13:

numero dicis,

id. Cas. 3, 5, 28; id. Mil. 5, 1, 6:

o Apella, o Zeuxis pictor, Cur numero estis mortui, hinc exemplum ut pingeretis?

why have you died too soon? id. Poen. 5, 4, 102; Afran. ap. Non. 352, 26; id. ap. Paul. ex Fest. l. l.
