, arbitror

to witness, bear witness / judge, arbitrate.

arbĭter, tri, m. [ar = ad (v. ad init.) and bito = eo], orig., one that goes to something in order to see or hear it; hence, a spectator, beholder, hearer, an eye-witness, a witness (class. through all periods; used several times by Plaut., but only twice by Ter.; syn.: testis, speculator, conscius).

In gen.:

aequi et justi hic eritis omnes arbitri,

Plaut. Am. prol. 16:

mi quidem jam arbitri vicini sunt, meae quid fiat domi, Ita per impluvium introspectant,

id. Mil. 2, 2, 3:

Esp.

In judic. lang., t. t., prop., he that is appointed to inquire into a cause (cf. adire hiberna, Tac. H. 1, 52, and intervenio) and settle it; hence, an umpire, arbiter, a judge, in an actio bonae fidei (i. e. who decides acc. to equity, while the judex decides acc. to laws), Sen. Ben. 3, 7 (cf. Zimmern, Rechtsgesch. 3 B, § 8; 3 B, § 42; 3 B, § 60 sq., and the jurists there cited).— So in the fragments of the Twelve Tables: JVDICI. ARBITROVE. REOVE. DIES. DIFFISVS. ESTO., ap. Paul. ex Fest. s. v. reus, p. 227 Müll.: Prae TOR. ARBITROS. TRES. DATO. ap. Fest. s. v. vindiciae, p. 376 Müll., and the ancient judicial formula:

arbitrum familiae herciscundae postulavit,

Cic. Caecin. 7: arbitrum illum adegit (i. e. ad arbitrum illum egit; cf.

adigo),

id. Off. 3, 16, 66:
