    ut igitur ante meridiem discesserunt, etc.,

    sit igitur (ut supra significavi) divisio rerum plurium in singulas, partitio singularum in partes discretus ordo,

    A.
    Sometimes igitur begins a sentence (in Cic. only in sense last described, II. E. above; freq. in Sall., Tac., Curt., and Liv.;

    v. Zumpt, Gram. § 357): nunc juris principia videamus. Igitur doctissimis viris proficisci placuit a lege, etc.,

    igitur his genus, aetas, eloquentia prope aequalia fuere,

    Sall. C. 54, 1; 46, 3; Quint. 1, 1, 1: de quo, quia nunc primum oblatus est, pauca repetam:

    nam et ipse pars Romanarum cladium erit. Igitur matre libertina ortus, etc.,

    Tac. A. 15, 72; 1, 31.—
    B.
    Igitur is sometimes placed after several words:
