expl

aenigmă, ătis, n., = ainigma (dat. and abl. plur. aenigmatis, Charis. p. 38 P.), that which is enigmatical or dark in a figurative representation, an allegory; accto Quintilian's expl.:

allegoria, quae est obscurior,

Inst. 8, 6, 52; Cic. de Or. 3, 42.—

Of other things.

That which is dark, obscure, or inexplicable; a riddle, enigma, obscurity:

regina Saba venit temptare eum in aenigmatibus,

Vulg. 3 Reg. 10, 1:

obscuritates et aenigmata somniorum,

Cic. Div. 2, 64;

aenigma numero Platonis obscurius,

id. Att. 7, 13:

legum,

Juv. 8, 50:

palam et non per aenigmata Dominum videt,

Vulg. Num. 12, 8; 1 Cor. 13, 12.—

A mystery; a mystical tenet or dogma in religion, Arn 3, p. 109.

bestĭa, ae, f. [perh. akin to fera and to belua], a beast (as a being without reason; opp. to man; while animal, = aliving being, includes man; bestia includes both fera, the beast as distinguished by fierceness, and belua, as distinguished by its size or ferocity; cf. Doed. Syn. 4, p. 290 sq.).

Lit.

In gen. (in the classical per. mostly in prose;

esp. freq. in Cic., who uses it in its most extended signif., of every kind of living creature excepting man): disserens, neque in homine inesse animum vel animam nec in bestiā,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 10, 21; 5, 13, 38; id. N. D. 2, 11, 31; id. Agr. 2, 4, 9:

quod si hoc apparet in bestiis volucribus, nantibus, agrestibus, cicuribus, feris... quanto id magis in homine fit natura, etc.,

id. Lael. 21, 81; id. N. D. 2, 48, 124.—So of the serpent, Plaut. Poen. 5, 2, 75.—Of the crocodile and other amphibious animals, Cic. l. l.—Of the dog, Cic. Rosc.

Of the ostrich: sequitur natura avium, quarum grandissimi et paene bestiarum generis struthiocameli,

Plin. 10, 1, 1, § 1; cf. Dig. 3, 1, 1, § 6; 9, 1, 1, § 10.—With muta, Cic. Fin. 1, 21, 71; Liv. 7, 4, 6 (cf. mutae pecudes, Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 8, 24).—And for the designation of a wild animal, with fera:

Nep. Dat. 3, 2 Dähne; Liv. 26, 13, 12; 26, 27, 12; Auct. Her. 2, 19, 29; Just. Inst. 2, 1, 12 sq.—

As a term of reproach (cf. belua and our beast):

mala tu es bestia,

Plaut. Bacch. 1, 1, 21; id. Poen. 5, 5, 13.—And, humorously, of the odor of the armpits (cf. ala and caper), Cat. 69, 8.—

Esp., when the contest with animals became more usual in the public spectacles at Rome (not yet customary A.U.C. 583, B.C. 171, Liv. 44, 9, 4), bestia designated, without the addition of fera, a wild beast destined to fight with gladiators or criminals (v. bestiarius;

usually lions, tigers, panthers, etc.).—Hence, ad bestias mittere aliquem,

ad pugnam bestiarum datus, Gell. l. l. § 10: tradere aliquem ad bestias depugnandas, Dig. l. l.: bestiarum damnatio,

the condemnation to fight with wild beasts, ib. 48, 13, 6 al. —Hence the expl.:

bestiarum vocabulum proprie convenit leonibus, pardis et lupis, tigribus et vulpibus, canibus et simiis ac ceteris, quae vel ore vel unguibus saeviunt, exceptis serpentibus,

Isid. Orig. 12, 2, 1 (but cf. supra, 1.).—

Transf., as a constellation, the wotf, Vitr. 9, 4 (7) (called by Cic. Arat. 211 or 455, Quadrupes vasta).

Bestĭa, ae, m., a cognomen in the Calpurnian family.
