3.
For instance (= hoc modo, hoc pacto, ut hoc, verbi gratia, ut si; cf. Cic. Inv. 1, 49, 91 sq. infra):
disjunctum est, cum unumquodque certo concluditur verbo,
Auct. Her. 4, 27, 37:
mala definitio est... cum aliquid non grave dicit, sic: Stultitia est immensa gloriae cupiditas,
Cic. Inv. 1, 49, 91.
III.
As a local demonstrative, thus, so, etc. (deiktikôs; colloq.;
mostly comice): ne hunc ornatum vos meum admiremini, quod ego processi sic cum servili schema,
as you see me now, Plaut. Am. prol. 117:
sed amictus sic hac ludibundus incessi,
id. Ps. 5, 1, 31:
nec sic per totam infamis traducerer urbem,
Prop. 2, 24 (3, 18), 7:
sic ad me, miserande, redis?

Quid tu igitur sic hoc digitulis duobus sumebas primoribus?
Plaut. Bacch. 4, 4, 25: Pe. Quid si curram? Tr. Censeo. Pe. An sic potius placide? (the speaker imitating the motion), id. Rud. 4, 8, 10:

I will give it to him, Plaut. Poen. 5, 5, 6; id. As. 2, 4, 33:
sic dabo!
Ter. Phorm. 5, 9, 38:

Liv. 8, 6, 6; cf. id. 1, 24, 8 (v. IV. 1. infra).
IV.
As correlative, with, 1. A comparative clause (sic far more frequent than ita); 2. A contrasted clause, mostly with ut; 3. A modal clause, with ut (ita more freq. than sic); 4.

1.
With comp. clauses, usu. introduced by ut, but also by quemadmodum (very freq.), sicut, velut, tamquam, quasi, quomodo, quam (rare and poet.), ceu (rare; poet. and post-class.), quantus (rare and poet.), qualis (ante-class. and rare).
(α).
With ut:
ut cibi satietas subamara aliqua re relevatur, sic animus defessus audiendi admiratione redintegratur,
Cic. Inv. 1, 17, 25:
ut non omnem frugem, neque arborem in omni agro reperire possis, sic non omne facinus in omni vita nascitur,
id. Rosc. Am. 27, 75:
ex suo regno sic Mithridates profugit ut ex eodem Ponto Medea quondam profugisse dicitur,

ut quaeque res est tur pissima, sic maxime et maturissime vindicanda est,
Cic. Caecin. 2, 7; v. Fischer, Gr. II. p. 751.—
(β).
With quemadmodum: quemadmodum tibicen sine tibiis canere, sic orator, nisi multitudine audiente, eloquens esse non potest, Cic. Or. 2, 83, 338:
quemadmodum se tribuni gessissent in prohibendo dilectu, sic patres in lege prohibenda gerebant,
Liv. 3, 11, 3:
sic vestras hallucinationes fero, quemadmodum Juppiter ineptias poetarum,

Cic. Or. 3, 25, 100; cf. id. ib. 19, 63.—
2.
In contrasted clauses, mostly with ut, which may generally be rendered while: ut ad bella suscipienda Gallorum acer ac promptus est animus, sic mollis ad calamitates perferendas mens eorum est (almost = etsi ad bella suscipienda... tamen mollis est, etc., while, etc.), Caes. B. G. 3, 19: a ceteris oblectationibus ut deseror, sic litteris sustentor et recreor, while I am deserted, I am sustained, etc., Cic. Att. 4, 10, 1; cf. id. Rosc. Am. 18, 55; id. Fam. 10, 20, 2; Liv. 4, 57, 11; Ov. M. 4, 131; 11, 76.—So freq. two members of the same sentence are coordinated by ut... sic (ita) with almost the same force as a co-ordination by cum... tum, or by sed:
consul, ut fortasse vere, sic parum utiliter in praesens certamen respondit (= vere fortasse, sed parum utiliter),
Liv. 4, 6, 2:
ut nondum satis claram victoriam, sic prosperae spei pugnam imber diremit,

(forma erat) ut non cygnorum, sic albis proxima cygnis,
Ov. M. 14, 509; cf. Liv. 1, 27, 2; 5, 38, 2; 6, 6, 10; Ov. M. 1, 370.—In this use etiam or quoque is sometimes joined with sic (never by Cic. with ita):
nostri sensus, ut in pace semper, sic tum etiam in bello congruebant (= cum... tum),
Cic. Marcell. 6, 16:
ut sunt, sic etiam nominantur senes,
id. Sen. 6, 20:
utinam ut culpam, sic etiam suspitionem vitare potuisses,
id. Phil. 1, 13, 33:

ut voce, sic etiam oratione,
id. Or. 25, 85; id. Top. 15, 59; id. Leg. 2, 25, 62; id. Lael. 5, 19.—More rarely with quem ad modum, quomodo:
ut, quem ad modum est, sic etiam appelletur tyrannus,
Cic. Att. 10, 4, 2:
quo modo ad bene vivendum, sic etiam ad beate,
id. Tusc. 3, 17, 37. —
3.
With a clause of manner introduced by ut = so that:
sic fuimus semper comparati ut hominum sermonibus quasi in aliquod judicium vocaremur,
Cic. Or. 3, 9, 32:
eam sic audio ut Plautum mihi aut Naevium videar audire,
id. ib. 3, 12, 45:
sic agam vobiscum ut aliquid de vestris vitiis audiatis,
id. ib. 3, 12, 46:
omnia sic suppetunt ut ei nullam deesse virtutem oratoris putem,
id. Brut. 71, 250:
omnis pars orationis esse debet laudabilis, sic ut verbum nullum excidat,
id. Or. 36, 125:
sic tecum agam ut vel respondendi vel interpellandi potestatem faciam,
id. Rosc. Am. 27, 73:
nec vero sic erat umquam non paratus Milo contra illum ut non satis fere esset paratus,
id. Mil. 21, 56:
sic eum eo de re publica disputavit ut sentiret sibi cum viro forti esse pugnandum,
id. Fam. 5, 2, 8; cf. Plaut. As. 2, 4, 49; id. Mil. 2, 2, 82; Cic. de Or. 1, 57, 245; 2, 1, 3; 2, 6, 23; id. Brut. 22, 88; 40, 148; id. Sest. 40, 87; id. Planc. 10, 25; id. Fam. 5, 15, 4; Caes. B. G. 2, 32; 5, 17; id. B. C. 3, 56; Prop. 1, 21, 5.—Sometimes the correlative clause is restrictive, and sic = but so, yet so, only so:
mihi sic placuit ut cetera Antisthenis, hominis acuti magis quam eruditi,
Cic. Att. 12, 38, 4:
sic conveniet reprehendi, ut demonstretur etc.,
id. Inv. 1, 46, 86; id. Brut. 79, 274; id. Marcell. 11, 34; id. Att. 13, 3, 1 (ita is more freq. in this sense).—
4.
With a clause expressing intensity (so both with adjj. and verbs; but far less freq. than ita, tam, adeo), to such a degree, so, so far, etc.:
sic ego illum in timorem dabo, ipse sese ut neget esse eum qui siet,
Plaut. Ps. 4, 1, 20 sq.:
conficior lacrimis sic ut ferre non possim,
Cic. Fam. 14, 4, 1:
sic rem fuisse apertam ut judicium fieri nihil attinuerit,
id. Inv. 2, 28, 84:
cujus responso judices sic exarserunt ut capitis hominem innocentissimum condemnarent,
id. Or. 1, 54, 233; cf. id. ib. 3, 8, 29; id. Brut. 88, 302; id. Or. 53, 177; 55, 184; id. Rep. 2, 21, 37; 3, 9, 15; id. Lael. 1, 4; id. Planc. 8, 21; id. Verr. 1, 36, 91; id. Balb. 5, 13; id. Att. 1, 8, 2; 1, 16, 1; Caes. B. G. 6, 41; Hor. S. 2, 3, 1.—
5.
Rarely conditional clauses have the antecedent sic.
a.
Poet. and in post-Aug. prose, to represent the result of the condition as sure:
sic invidiam effugies, si te non ingesseris oculis, si bona tua non jactaveris, si scieris in sinu gaudere,
Sen. Ep. 105, 3:
sic hodie veniet si qua negavit heri,
Prop. 2, 14 (3, 6), 20.—
b.
Denoting with the proviso that, but only if (usu. ita):
decreverunt ut cum populus regem jussisset, id sic ratum esset si patres auctores fuissent,
that the choice should be valid, but only if the Senate should ratify it, Liv. 1, 17, 9:
sic ignovisse putato Me tibi si cenes hodie mecum,
Hor. Ep. 1, 7, 69.—
6.
Sic quia = idcirco quia (very rare): Th. Quid vos? Insanin' estis? Tr. Quidum? Th. Sic quia foris ambulatis, Plaut. Most. 2, 2, 20.—
7.
With inf. clause (freq.):
sic igitur sentio, naturam primum atque ingenium ad dicendum vim afferre maximam,
Cic. Or. 1, 25, 113:
sic a majoribus nostris accepimus, praetorem quaestori suo parentis loco esse oportere,
id. Div. in Caecil. 19, 61:
ego sic existimo, in summo imperatore quattuor res inesse oportere,
id. Imp. Pomp. 10, 38; cf. Ter. Hec. 5, 4, 5; Cic. Inv. 2, 55, 167; id. de Or. 1, 20, 93; 2, 28, 122; id. Brut. 36, 138; 41, 152; id. Div. in Caecil. 3, 10; id. Verr. 1, 7, 20; Liv. 5, 15, 11.—Esp., after sic habeto (habe, habeas) = scito (only Ciceron.):
sic habeto, in eum statum tuum reditum incidere ut, etc.,
Cic. Fam. 2, 3, 1; so id. ib. 1, 7, 3; 2, 6, 5; 2, 10, 1; 7, 18, 1; 9, 16, 2; id. Att. 2, 25, 1; 5, 1, 5; 5, 20, 1 et saep.—
8.
With ut, expressing purpose or result:
nunc sic faciam, sic consilium est, ad erum ut veniam docte atque astu,
Plaut. Rud. 4, 2, 23:
ab Ariobarzane sic contendi ut talenta, quae mihi pollicebatur, illi daret,

Caes. B. G. 5, 23; cf. Cato, R. R. 1, 1; Cic. Att. 8, 1, 4; id. Or. 2, 67, 271.
V.

3.
In a demonstrative temporal force, like the Gr. houtôs, so, as the matter stands now, as it now is, as it then was, etc.
(α).
In gen.:
e Graecis cavendae sunt quaedam familiaritates, praeter hominum perpaucorum, si qui sunt vetere Graecia digni. Sic vero fallaces sunt permulti et leves,
but as things now stand, Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 5, § 16:
at sic citius qui te expedias his aerumnis reperias,
Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 8: Pe. Pol tibi istuc credo nomen actutum fore. Tr. Dum interea sic sit, istuc actutum sino, provided it be as it is, Plaut. Most. 1, 1, 71:

sic sine malo,
id. Rud. 3, 5, 2:

si non vult (numerare), sic sine adstet,
id. As. 2, 4, 54:
sine fores sic, abi,
let the door alone, id. Men. 2, 3, 1; so id. Cas. 3, 6, 36; id. Ps. 1, 5, 62.—

Liv. 7, 27; cf. Ov. F. 2, 642; Suet. Aug. 78.—
4.
Ellipt., referring to something in the mind of the speaker:
Quod si hoc nunc sic incipiam? Nihil est. Quod si sic? Tantumdem egero. At sic opinor? Non potest,
Ter. Heaut. 4, 2, 8: illa quae aliis sic, aliis secus videntur, to some in one way, to others in another (= aliis aliter), Cic. Leg. 1, 17, 47: Quid vini absumpsit! Sic hoc dicens, asperum hoc est, aliud lenius, = this wine is so (the speaker not saying what he thinks of it), Ter.

id. Tusc. 3, 17, 37. —
3.
With a clause of manner introduced by ut = so that:
sic fuimus semper comparati ut hominum sermonibus quasi in aliquod judicium vocaremur,

nec vero sic erat umquam non paratus Milo contra illum ut non satis fere esset paratus,
id. Mil. 21, 56:
sic eum eo de re publica disputavit ut sentiret sibi cum viro forti esse pugnandum,
id. Fam. 5, 2, 8; cf. Plaut. As. 2, 4, 49; id. Mil. 2, 2, 82; Cic. de Or. 1, 57, 245; 2, 1, 3; 2, 6, 23; id. Brut. 22, 88; 40, 148; id. Sest. 40, 87; id. Planc. 10, 25; id. Fam. 5, 15, 4; Caes. B. G. 2, 32; 5, 17; id. B. C. 3, 56; Prop. 1, 21, 5.—Sometimes the correlative clause is restrictive, and sic = but so, yet so, only so:
mihi sic placuit ut cetera Antisthenis, hominis acuti magis quam eruditi,
Cic. Att. 12, 38, 4:
sic conveniet reprehendi, ut demonstretur etc.,
id. Inv. 1, 46, 86; id. Brut. 79, 274; id. Marcell. 11, 34; id. Att. 13, 3, 1 (ita is more freq. in this sense).—
4.
With a clause expressing intensity (so both with adjj. and verbs; but far less freq. than ita, tam, adeo), to such a degree, so, so far, etc.:
sic ego illum in timorem dabo, ipse sese ut neget esse eum qui siet,
Plaut. Ps. 4, 1, 20 sq.:
conficior lacrimis sic ut ferre non possim,

5.
Rarely conditional clauses have the antecedent sic.
a.
Poet. and in post-Aug. prose, to represent the result of the condition as sure:

sic hodie veniet si qua negavit heri,

Cic. Or. 3, 25, 100; cf. id. ib. 19, 63.—
2.
In contrasted clauses, mostly with ut, which may generally be rendered while: ut ad bella suscipienda Gallorum acer ac promptus est animus, sic mollis ad calamitates perferendas mens eorum est (almost = etsi ad bella suscipienda... tamen mollis est, etc., while, etc.), Caes.

Fam. 10, 20, 2; Liv. 4, 57, 11; Ov. M. 4, 131; 11, 76.—So freq. two members of the same sentence are coordinated by ut... sic (ita) with almost the same force as a co-ordination by cum... tum, or by sed:
consul, ut fortasse vere, sic parum utiliter in praesens certamen respondit (= vere fortasse, sed parum utiliter),
Liv. 4, 6, 2:
ut nondum satis claram victoriam, sic prosperae spei pugnam imber diremit,

Ov. M. 14, 509; cf. Liv. 1, 27, 2; 5, 38, 2; 6, 6, 10; Ov. M. 1, 370.—In this use etiam or quoque is sometimes joined with sic (never by Cic. with ita):

ut voce, sic etiam oratione,
id. Or. 25, 85; id. Top. 15, 59; id. Leg. 2, 25, 62; id. Lael. 5, 19.—More rarely with quem ad modum, quomodo:

quo modo ad bene vivendum, sic etiam ad beate,
id. Tusc. 3, 17, 37. —
3.
With a clause of manner introduced by ut = so that:
sic fuimus semper comparati ut hominum sermonibus quasi in aliquod judicium vocaremur,

nec vero sic erat umquam non paratus Milo contra illum ut non satis fere esset paratus,
id. Mil. 21, 56:
sic eum eo de re publica disputavit ut sentiret sibi cum viro forti esse pugnandum,
id. Fam. 5, 2, 8; cf. Plaut. As. 2, 4, 49; id. Mil. 2, 2, 82; Cic. de Or. 1, 57, 245; 2, 1, 3; 2, 6, 23; id. Brut. 22, 88; 40, 148; id. Sest. 40, 87; id. Planc. 10, 25; id. Fam. 5, 15, 4; Caes. B. G. 2, 32; 5, 17; id. B. C. 3, 56; Prop. 1, 21, 5.—Sometimes the correlative clause is restrictive, and sic = but so, yet so, only so:
mihi sic placuit ut cetera Antisthenis, hominis acuti magis quam eruditi,
Cic. Att. 12, 38, 4:
sic conveniet reprehendi, ut demonstretur etc.,
id. Inv. 1, 46, 86; id. Brut. 79, 274; id. Marcell. 11, 34; id. Att. 13, 3, 1 (ita is more freq. in this sense).—
4.
With a clause expressing intensity (so both with adjj. and verbs; but far less freq. than ita, tam, adeo), to such a degree, so, so far, etc.:

5.
Rarely conditional clauses have the antecedent sic.
a.

id. Div. in Caecil. 19, 61:
ego sic existimo, in summo imperatore quattuor res inesse oportere,
id. Imp. Pomp. 10, 38; cf. Ter. Hec. 5, 4, 5; Cic. Inv. 2, 55, 167; id. de Or. 1, 20, 93; 2, 28, 122; id. Brut. 36, 138; 41, 152; id. Div. in Caecil. 3, 10; id. Verr. 1, 7, 20; Liv. 5, 15, 11.—Esp., after sic habeto (habe, habeas) = scito (only Ciceron.):

Cic. Fam. 2, 3, 1; so id. ib. 1, 7, 3; 2, 6, 5; 2, 10, 1; 7, 18, 1; 9, 16, 2; id. Att. 2, 25, 1; 5, 1, 5; 5, 20, 1 et saep.—
