egomet convivas moror,

In partic.: nihil morari aliquem, not to detain a person, to let him go, to dismiss. Thus the consul said when he dismissed the Senate:

Nihil amplius vos moramur,

I will detain you no longer, you are dismissed, Capitol. M. Aurel. 10. This is the customary formula for abandoning an accusation and dismissing an accused person:

C. Sempronium nihil moror,

i. e. I withdraw my accusation against, Liv. 4, 42, 8:

cum se nihil morari magistrum equitum pronuntiasset,

id. 8, 35, 8:

negavit, se Gracchum morari,

Trop.: nihil morari (with acc., an object-clause, or quo minus), to let a thing go, i. e. not to value or regard, to care nothing about it, to have nothing to say against it, etc.:

nam vina nihil moror illius orae,

alieno uti nihil moror,

I do not want to, Plaut. Capt. prol. 16: nihil moror, eos salvos esse, et ire quo jubetis, am not opposed to it, have nothing to say against it, Ant. ap. Cic. Phil. 13, 17, 35:

nil moror eum tibi esse amicum,

Plaut. Trin. 2, 2, 56.— With quominus:

nihil ego quidem moror, quominus decemviratu abeam,

I do not hesitate to, I will immediately, Liv. 3, 54, 4. —Hence, * mŏrātē, adv., lingeringly, slowly:

moratius,

Act. collat. form mŏro, āre: quid moras? Naev. ap. Diom. p. 395 P.: morares Enn. ib.: moraret, Pac. ib. (cf. Enn. p. 154, v. 11 Vahl.; Trag. Rel. p. 82 Rib.; Com. Rel. p. 16 ib.).—
