    In judicial lang., t. t., to absolve from a charge, to acquit, declare innocent; constr. absol., with abl., gen., or de (Zumpt, § 446;

    Cic. Pis. 39:

    regni suspicione,

    de praevaricatione absolutus,

    id. Q. Fr. 2, 16.—In Verr. 2, 2, 8, § 22: hic (Dionem) Veneri absolvit, sibi condemnat, are dativi commodi: from the obligation to Venus he absolves him, but condemns him to discharge that to himself (Verres).—With an abstract noun: fidem absolvit, he acquitted them of their fidelity (to Otho), pardoned it, Tac. H. 2, 60.
    E.
    In technical lang., to bring a work to a close, to complete, finish (without denoting intrinsic excellence, like perficere; the fig. is prob. derived from detaching a finished web from the loom; cf.:

    rem dissolutam divulsamque,

    Cic. de Or. 1, 42, 188).—So of the sacrificial cake:

    liba absoluta (as taken from the pan),

    cetera quam paucissumis absolvam, J. 17, 2: multa paucis,

    Cic. Fragm. Hist. 1, n. 2:

    de Catilinae conjuratione paucis absolvam,

    id. Cat. 4, 3; cf.:

    nunc locorum situm, quantum ratio sinit, absolvam,

    deus,

    Prisc. p. 581 P.—
    b.
    Verbum absolutum, in Prisc. p. 795 P., that has no case with it; in Diom. p. 333 P., opp. inchoativum.—
