C. de Bacch.; cf. with DVM NE MINVS SENATORIBVS C. ADESENT, twice in the same S. C.;2.and in the form ni: DVM NI MINVS VIGINTI ADSIENT,

In the time of Plautus the usage was unsettled, non and ne being used indifferently for simple negation; cf. Lorenz ad Plaut. Most. 105; Brix ad Plaut.

id. ib. 2, 16, 5:numquam illum ne minima quidem re offendi,
id. Lael. 27, 103; Liv. 28, 42, 16; but when ne... quidem precedes, the negative of the principal verb is omitted:sine quā ne intellegi quidem ulla virtus potest,
Cic. Tusc. 2, 13, 31:neque enim ipsius quidem regis abhorrebat animus,
Liv. 29, 12, 10: ne quidem (with no intervening word), not even (late Lat.), Gai Inst. 1, 67; id. ib. 3, 93.—In composition, to make an absolute negation of the principal idea. So in neque and nequiquam; also in nescio and nevolo; and in nefas, nefandus, nepus (for non purus), nequeo, neuter, neutiquam; in nemo, nego, nihil, nullus, numquam, and nusquam; and, lastly, with a paragogic c before o: necopinans and neglego; negotium (i. e. nec-lego; nec-otium). —B.With a proposition (in all periods of the language, and exclusively),1.In imperative sentences, to signify that something must not be done.(α).With imper.: SI HOMINEM FVLMEN IOVIS OCCISIT, NE SVPRA GENVA TOLLITOR, let him not be raised, Leg.

Top. 16, 61 (Trag. v. 280 Vahl.): utinam ne umquam, Mede Colchis cupido corde pedem extulisses, Enn ap. Non. 297, 18 (Trag. v. 311 ib.):illud utinam ne vere scriberem!
Cic. Fam. 5, 17, 3; v. utinam.—With si:ne vivam, si scio,
may I not live, may I die, if I know, Cic. Att. 4, 16, 8:sed ne vivam, si tibi concedo,
id. Fam. 7, 23, 19:ne sim salvus, si aliter scribo ac sentio,
id. ib. 16, 13, 1.—In concessive and restrictive clauses (conceived as softened commands; cf. II. init.).(α).In concessions, nemo is, inquies, umquam fuit. Ne fuerit:(β).ego enim, etc.,
there may not have been; suppose there was not, Cic. Or. 29, 101; cf.:pugnes omnino, sed cum adversario facili. Ne sit sane: videri certe potest,
id. Ac. 2, 26, 85; 2, 32, 102:ne sit sane summum malum dolor: malum certe est,
id. Tusc. 2, 5, 14:ne sint in senectute vires: ne postulantur quidem vires a senectute,

only let them not; if they only will not, Sall. C. 52, 12. So, dum ne, dummodo ne, modo ne, and dum quidem ne; v. dum and modo: me vero nihil istorum ne juvenem quidem movit umquam: ne nunc senem, much less now I am old = nedum, Cic. Fam. 9, 26, 2; cf.:vix incedo inanis, ne ire posse cum onere existumes,
Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 174: scuta si homines inviti dant, etsi ad salutem communem dari sentiunt: ne quem putetis sine maximo dolore argentum caelatum domo protulisse, much less can you suppose, etc., Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 23, § 52; Liv. 3, 52.—In clauses which denote a purpose or result.a.Ut ne, that not, lest, so that not (very rare after the August. period; in Livy only in a few doubtful passages; in Cæsar, Seneca, and Tacitus not at all; v. under II.): quos ego ope meā Pro incertis certos...
