ăb-hinc, temp. adv.

Of future time, henceforth, hence, hereafter (anteclass.): seque ad ludos jam inde abhinc exerceant, Pac. ap. Charis. 175 P. (Trag. Rel. p. 80 Rib.); so, aufer abhinc lacrimas. —But more usu.,

Of past time, ago, since; with acc. or abl., and the cardin. num. (except the comic poets most freq. in Cic., both in his Orations and Letters).

With acc.:

sed abhinc annos factumst sedecim,

Plaut. Cas. prol. 39; so Ter. And. 1, 1, 42; id. Hec. 5, 3, 24; id. Phorm. 5, 9, 28; cf.:

abhinc triennium,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 13:

abhinc annos quattuordecim,

id. Verr. 2, 1, 12, § 34; cf. id. Balb. 6, 16; id. Phil. 2, 46, 119; Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 36 al.—

With abl.:

qui abhinc sexaginta annis occisus foret,

Plaut. Most. 2, 2, 63; so,

abhinc annis xv.,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 13:

comitiis jam abhinc diebus triginta factis,

thirty days ago, id. Verr. 2, 2, 52 fin. In Lucr. 3, 967: aufer abhinc lacrimas, it is prob. only a fuller expression for hinc, as in Plaut. Pers. 5, 2, 19: jurgium hinc auferas, since there is no other example where abhinc is used of place. Vid. upon this article, Hand, Turs. 1, 63-66.

artĭcŭlāris, e, adj. [articulus].

Pertaining to the joints (v. articulus, I.):

morbus,

gout, Plin. 20, 17, 73, § 195; Suet. Galb. 21; Scrib. Comp. 101.—

In gram., like the article (v. articulus, II. A. fin.):

pronomen, i. e. hic, iste,

Prisc. p. 938 P.; 574 P.; Serv. p. 1785 P.

artĭcŭlus, i, m. dim. [2. artus], a small member connecting various parts of the body, a joint, knot, knuckle.

A.. Lit.:

nodi corporum, qui vocantur articuli,

Plin. 11, 37, 88, § 217:

hominis digiti articulos habent ternos, pollex binos,

id. 11, 43, 99, § 244:

summus caudae articulus,

id. 8, 41, 63, § 153 al.:

crura sine nodis articulisque,

Caes. B. G. 6, 27:

ipso in articulo, quo jungitur capiti cervix,

Liv. 27, 49:

auxerat articulos macies,

i. e. had made more joints, had made the bones visible, Ov. M. 8, 807:

articulorum dolores habere,

i. e. gouty pains, Cic. Att. 1, 5 fin.; cf. Cels. 5, 18: postquam illi justa cheragra Contudit articulos, * Hor. S. 2, 7, 16; cf. Pers. 5, 58:

gladiatorem vehementis impetus excipit adversarii mollis articulus,

Quint. 2, 12, 2.—Hence, molli articulo tractare aliquem, to touch one gently, softly, Quint. 11, 2, 70.—Of plants:

ineunte vere in iis (vitibus), quae relicta sunt, exsistit, tamquam ad articulos sarmentorum, ea quae gemma dicitur,

Cic. Sen. 15, 53; Plin. 16, 24, 36, § 88:

ante quam seges in articulum eat,

Col. 2, 11, 9; so Plin. 18, 17, 45, § 159. —Of mountains, a hill connecting several larger mountains:

montium articuli,

Plin. 37, 13, 77, § 201.—

With an extension of the idea, a limb, member, in gen. (cf. 2. artus), * Lucr. 3, 697.—Hence also for a finger, Prop. 2, 34, 80; so Ov. H. 10, 140; id. P. 2, 3, 18:

quot manus atteruntur, ut unus niteat articulus!

Plin. 2, 63, 63, § 158:

ab eo missus est articulus manūs,

Vulg. Dan. 5, 24:

aspiciebat articulos manūs,

ib. ib. 5, 5: erexit me super articulos manuum mearum, on the fingers or palms of my hands, ib. ib. 10, 10. —

Trop.

Of discourse, a member, part, division: articulus dicitur, cum singula verba intervallis distinguuntur caesā oratione, hoc modo: acrimoniā, voce, vultu adversarios perterruisti, Auct. ad Her. 4, 19: continuatio verborum soluta multo est aptior atque jucundior, si est articulis membrisque (kommasi kai kôlois) distincta, quam si continuata ac producta, Cic. de Or. 3, 48, 186: (genus orationis) fluctuans et dissolutum eo quod sine nervis et articulis fluctuat huc et illuc, Auct. ad Her. 4, 11.—

Hence,

a short clause, Dig. 36, 1, 27;

also,

a single word, ib. 35, 1, 4:

articulus Est praesentis temporis demonstrationem continet,

ib. 34, 2, 35:

hoc articulo Quisque omnes significantur,

ib. 28, 5, 29.—In gram. the pronn. hic and quis, Varr. L. L. 8, § 45 Müll.; the article, Quint. 1, 4, 19.—

Of time.

A point of time, a moment:

commoditatis omnes articulos scio,

Plaut. Men. 1, 2, 31.—With tempus:

qui hunc in summas angustias adductum putaret, ut eum suis conditionibus in ipso articulo temporis astringeret,

at the most critical moment, Cic. Quinct. 5, 19:

in ipsis quos dixi temporum articulis,

Plin. 2, 97, 99, § 216: si de singulis articulis [p. 168] temporum deliberabimus, August. ap. Suet. Claud. 4;

also without tempus: in ipso articulo,

at the fit moment, at the nick of time, Ter. Ad. 2, 2, 21.—With dies:

in articulo diei illius ingressus est,

on that very day, Vulg. Gen. 7, 13.—And with res:

in articulo rerum,

Curt. 3, 5; also in articulo, instantly, immediately, = statim, Cod. Just. 1, 33, 3.—Hence with the idea extended,

A space, division of time:

hi cardines singulis articulis dividuntur,

Plin. 18, 25, 59, § 222:

octo articuli lunae,

id. 18, 35, 79, § 350: articulus austrinus, i. e. in which auster blows, id. 17, 2, 2, § 11.—

Of other abstract things, part, division, point: per eosdem articulos (i.e. per easdem honorum partes) et gradus producere, August. ap. Suet. Claud. 4:

stationes in mediis latitudinum articulis, quae vocant ecliptica,

Plin. 2, 15, 13, § 68; Dig. 1, 3, 12:

ventum est ergo ad ipsum articulum causae, i. e. ventum ad rei cardinem,

the turning-point, Arn. 7, p. 243.

auctĭo, ōnis, f. [augeo].

An increasing, increase, auxêsis:

auctio frumenti et tributorum,

Tac. Agr. 19:

dierum,

Macr. S. 1, 14: rerum crescentium, Paul. ex Fest. p. 17 Müll.—

A sale by increase of bids, a public sale, auction. Auctions were held either in an open place, or in particular rooms or halls, called atria auctionaria (v. auctionarius), or simply atria (Juv. 7, 7). There was a spear (hasta) set up therein, as the legal sign of the sale, like our red flag; the price was called out by a crier (praeco), and the article sold was adjudged to the highest bidder by the magistrate who was present. A money-broker (argentarius) was also present to note down the price and receive the money or security for it;

v. Smith, Dict. Antiq. (this is the class. signif. of the word): auctionem facere,

Plaut. Men. 5, 9, 91 -94; so id. Poen. 1, 3, 2; 5, 6, 27; id. Stich. 2, 2, 60; Cic. Quinct. 4; id. Att. 12, 3 al.:
