Facere omitted, especially in short sentences expressing a judgment upon conduct, etc.:

Cic. Off. 3, 27, 101.—Hence,

factus, a, um, P. a.

As adjective ante-class. and very rare:

factius nihilo facit, sc. id, i. e. nihilo magis effectum reddit,

is no nearer bringing it about, Plaut. Trin. 2, 3, 6; cf. Lorenz ad loc.—Far more freq.,

In the neutr. as subst.: factum, i ( gen. plur. factum, Enn. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 31, 66 Trag. 81), that which is done, a deed, act, exploit, achievement (syn.: res gestae, facinus).

dĭcĭo, ōnis (less correctly, ditio; occurs only in the gen., dat., acc., and abl. sing., and in plur. once, Prud. Psych. 221; so Hemsterhuis, Orat. p. 7.—Georges rejects the dat. sing., but v. infra; cf. Neue, Formenl. 1, 514 sq.), f.
