And so prob. is to be explained dubia cena, a multifarious, richly provided supper, Ter.

    Verg. A. 7, 86:

    mens dubiis percussa pavet,

    Luc. 6, 596.

And so prob. is to be explained dubia cena, a multifarious, richly provided supper, Ter. Ph. 2, 2, 28 (for the subjoined explanation of Terence: ubi tu dubites, quid sumas potissimum, is only outwardly adapted to the meaning of dubius); so,

    dubia cena,

    Hor. S. 2, 2, 77; and:

    non dubie,

    Quint. 7, 2, 6; 9, 4, 67; Front. Strat. 2, 3, 16; and with sed (cf. dubius, I. B. 2. b. e), Quint. 11, 2, 1; so,

    too, nec dubie,

    Liv. 2, 23 fin.; Quint. 2, 14, 2;

    and with verum,

    haud dubie,

    Liv. 1, 9; 13; 3, 24; 38; 53; 4, 2; 23; 5, 10 fin.; 33 fin.; 49 fin. et saep. (about 70 times; see the passages in Stuerenb. Cic. Off. p. 138); Quint. 10, 1, 85; Tac. A. 2, 43; 88; id.
