forsooth

* * *

quippe, adv. and conj. [quī-pe], a particle of corroboration, similar to nempe (from nam-pe), surely, certainly, to be sure, by all means, indeed, in fact.

Recte igitur diceres te restituisse? Quippe:

quid enim facilius est quam probari iis, qui? etc.,

Cic. Caecin. 19, 55: leve nomen habet utraque res: quippe;

leve enim est hoc totum, risum movere,

id. de Or. 2, 54, 219: a te quidem apte (dictum est); quippe;

habes enim a rhetoribus, etc.,

id. Fin. 4, 3, 7.—Ironically, certainly, indeed, forsooth:

quippe si hercle rescivere inimici consilium tuom, etc.,

In connection with the relative pronouns, qui, quae, quod, prop., as one in fact who, which, or that, i. e. since or inasmuch as I, thou, he, it, etc.

With indic.: dicat, argenti minas se habere quinquaginta: quippe ego qui nudiustertius meis manibus dinumeravi, since or seeing that I paid, Plaut. Ep. 3, 2, 30: tametsi pro imperio vobis quod dictum foret, Scibat facturos; quippe qui intellexerat, Vereri vos se et metuere, since he knew that you revered, etc., id. Am. prol. 22:

aperite januam hanc Orci: nam equidem haud aliter esse duco: quippe quo nemo advenit, nisi quem spes reliquere omnes,

since no one comes here, id. Bacch. 3, 1, 2; Ter. Heaut. 3, 2, 27:

but, dee,

for which: si di volent,

id. Poen. 4, 2, 88;

Esp.

In poets sometimes a goddess; cf. Gr. theos:

ducente deo (sc. Venere),

Verg. A. 2, 632:

audentes deus ipse juvat (sc. Fortuna),

Ov. M. 10, 586; Macr. Sat. 3, 8; cf. of Aurora, Cat. ap. Cic. N. D. 1, 28 fin.;

of Alecto,

Verg. A. 7, 498 (but in all these passages, some regard deus as absol., = to theion, the divinity, Heyne ad Verg. A. 2, 632).—

Of Bacchus, Verg. A. 9, 337; 1, 636.—

In eccl. Lat., esp. the God of the Hebrews and Christians, God:

Deus summus,

Lact. 1, 1:

omnipotens,

Vulg. Gen. 17, 1 et passim. Also of the Son of God, God the Son, Christ:

Deus pater et Deus filius,

Lact. 4, 29, 1; Vulg. Johan. 1, 1 al.

Transf., of highly distinguished or fortunate persons:

te in dicendo semper putavi deum,

Cic. Or. 1, 23, 106; cf. id. ib. 2, 42, 179:

facio te apud illum deum,

Ter. Ad. 4, 1, 19:

audiamus Platonem quasi quendam deum philosophorum,

Cic. N. D. 2, 12; cf.:

deus ille noster Plato,

id. Att. 4, 16, 3:

ubi nunc nobis deus ille magister, Eryx,

deus sum, si hoc ita est,

Ter. Hec. 5, 4, 3; cf.:

sum deus,

Plaut. Curc. 1, 3, 11; esp. of great patrons or protectors, a guardian god:

Lentulus consul, parens deus, salus nostrae vitae,

Cic. post Red. ad Quir. 5, 11:

Lentulus, cujus pater deus ac parens nominis mei,

id. Sest. 69, 144.—Hence freq. in inscriptions and on coins of the period of the empire, as an epithet of the emperors:

DEO AUG.,

Inscr. Orell. 609 et saep.; cf. Nem. Venat. 71; Calp. Ecl. 7.

nempe (often nĕmpĕ in Plaut., e. g. Mil. 906, 922; Trin. 328, 427, etc.; cf. Ter. Phorm. 2, 1, 77), conj. [nam and enclitic pe; cf.: prope, quippe, quis-p-iam, etc.].

Prop., in strengthening or confirming an assertion, as that which cannot be disputed, indeed, certainly, without doubt, to be sure, assuredly (cf.: nimirum, scilicet).

In laying down a premise or conclusion: non istam dicit voluptatem. Dicat quamlubet: nempe eam dicit, in quā virtutis nulla pars insit, he certainly does speak of that, etc., Cic. Tusc. 3, 20, 49:

nempe incomposito dixi pede currere versus Lucili,

Hor. S. 1, 10, 1:

nempe enim duo genera materiarum apud rhetores tractantur,

Tac. Dial. 35; Lucr. 1, 385; Cic. Fl. 37, 91; id. Fin. 4, 15, 41:

si... necesse est, nempe sequitur ut, etc.,

Quint. 3, 8, 23.—

(Esp. in colloq. lang.) In summing up or explaining another's meaning, no doubt, certainly, I am sure: nempe illum dicis cum armis aureis, you doubtless mean, etc., Plaut. Mil. 1, 1, 16: nempe huic dimidium dicis, dimidium domi? St. Nempe sicut dicis, id. Aul. 2, 4, 14; id. Curc. 1, 1, 41.—

In stating a notorious or obvious fact or truth, certainly, of course, beyond question:

nempe ego mille meo protexi pectore puppes, i. e. as everybody knows,

Ov. M. 13, 93:

nempe tulit fastus (Medea), ausa rogare prior,

Prop. 5, 5, 42; Hor. Ep. 1, 10, 22:

pater est mihi nempe biformis,

Ov. M. 2, 663; Cic. Phil. 12, 11, 26.—

Transf.

In questions, to ask a more precise or emphatic statement of something already said (cf. I. 2. supra):

Quid ais? Nempe tu illius servos es?

Plaut. Ps. 4, 7, 73:

nempe hic tuus est?

really? id. Rud. 4, 4, 13: St. Vivunt, valent. Ch. Nempe uterque? do you mean? id. Trin. 4, 3, 67:

nempe negas ad beate vivendum satis posse virtutem?

Cic. Tusc. 5, 5, 12; id. Brut. 3, 14.—

In replies, certainly, obviously, of course, Plaut. Mil. 4, 4, 26:

Pompeii tertius consulatus in quibus actis constitit? Nempe in legibus,

Cic. Phil. 1, 7, 18:

in quā (urbe) tandem hoc disputant? Nempe in eā, etc.,

id. Mil. 3, 7; Quint. 10, 2, 4; 12, 2, 16; Pers. 2, 70.—

Ironically, forsooth, namely, to be sure: respice oh mi lepos! Cl. Nempe ita uti tu mihi es, Plaut. Cas. 2, 3, 18:

at avus nobilis. Tuditanus nempe ille, etc.,

Cic. Phil. 3, 6, 16: dat mihi filiam suam;

nempe quam alicui servorum ejus nupturam,

Curt. 4, 11, 20; Tib. 2, 3, 28.

nīmīrum, adv. [ni, i. q. ne mirum, v. ni, I.; lit. not wonderful; cf., less strong than mirum ni; v. ni, III. A. b; hence], to introduce an assertion as indisputable, without doubt, doubtless, indisputably, certainly, surely, truly:

nimirum homines frigent,

are certainly received coolly, Ter. Eun. 2, 2, 37:

nimirum Themistocles est auctor adhibendus,

Cic. Off. 2, 20, 71: non parva res, sed nimirum omnium maxima, id. Mur. 22, 45:

et nimirum is princeps ex Latinis,

id. Brut. 21, 82:

is est nimirum Soter, qui salutem dedit,

id. Verr. 2, 2, 63, § 154; id. Leg. 2, 1, 3; id. de Or. 1, 4, 16; id. Or. 23, 75:

non omnia nimirum eidem di dedere,

truly, Liv. 22, 51:

nimirum haec illa Charybdis, etc.,

Verg. A. 3, 558:

cui placet alterius sua nimirum est odio sors,

of course, Hor. Ep. 1, 14, 11.—After a question:

sed quid id ad rem? nimirum, inquit, in eo causa consistit,

Cic. Quint. 25, 79. —

Freq. in an ironical sense, doubtless, to be sure, forsooth:

aperienda nimirum nocte janua fuit,

Liv. 40, 9:

uni nimirum tibi recte semper erunt res,

Hor. S. 2, 2, 106; 2, 3, 120; id. Ep. 1, 9, 1; 1, 15, 42; Juv. 2, 104; Tac. H. 1, 33:

nimirum summi ducis est occidere Galbam,

id. A. 2, 82.

quĭă, conj. [for quiam, from abl. quī and jam, whereby now; hence], because (usually, like quod, of the determining reason; while quonĭam introduces any casual circumstance).

In gen., constr. with indic. in asserting a fact; with subj. in stating an assumed reason, or one entertained by another mind:

quia fores nostras ausa es accedere, quiaque istas buccas,

Plaut. Truc. 2, 2, 34:

urbs, quae quia postrema aedificata est, Neapolis nominatur,

Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 53, § 119:

non quia multis debeo,

id. Planc. 32, 78:

non quia plus animi victis est, sed, etc.,

Liv. 10, 41, 12:

non tam quia pacem volebant Samnites, quam quia nondum parati erant ad bellum,

id. 8, 19, 3; 7, 30, 13; 33, 27, 6; 39, 41, 2. — With subj.:

nil satis est, inquit, quia tantum, quantum habeas, sis,

Hor. S. 1, 1, 62; cf. id. Ep. 1, 1, 30; Just. 17, 3, 10:

mater irata est, quia non redierim,

Plaut. Cist. 1, 1, 103; Hor. S. 2, 3, 101; 2, 2, 25; Just. 24, 3, 3:

carent quia,

Hor. C. 4, 9, 28.—

Esp., with other particles.

Quiane, in a question, because? (ante-class. and poet.): Do. Tu nunc me irrides? Le. Quiane te voco, bene ut tibi sit? Plaut. Pers. 5, 2, 69:

quiane auxilio juvat ante levatos?

Verg. A. 4, 538. —

Quia enim, because forsooth ( poet.): quī tibi nunc istuc in mentem venit? So. Quia enim sero advenimus, Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 34; Ter. Heaut. 1, 2, 14.—

Quia nam, and quianam, like the Gr. ti gar, why? wherefore? ( poet.):

quianam pro quare et cur positum apud antiquos,

Fest. p. 257 Müll.;

Naev. and Enn. ap. Fest. l. l.: quianam arbitrare?

Plaut. Truc. 1, 2, 34: quianam legiones caedimu' ferro? Enn. ap. Serv. Verg. A 10, 6:

quianam sententia vobis Versa retro?

Verg. A. 10, 6; 5, 13 al.—

Introducing an object-clause, = quod, that (postclass.):

nescitis quia iniqui non possidebunt?

Vulg. 1 Cor. 6, 9; id. 4 Reg. 2, 3:

credo, quia mendacio possunt (animas movere),

Tert. Anim. 5; id. Idol. 20:

ignoras, quia, etc.,

Aug. Serm. 9, 3; Macr. Somn. Scip. 1, 6, 62:

non advertentes, quia, etc.,

Cael. Aur. Tard. 1, 5, 71.—Quia very rarely follows the verb, Hor. S. 1, 9, 51.

quĭdem, adv.

Indeed:

sibi quidem persuaderi, eum, etc.,

Caes. B. C. 1, 40:

tantum doleo, ac mirifice quidem,

Cic. Att. 2, 19, 1:

in his locis post solstitium Canicula oritur, et quidem aliquot diebus,

id. Div. 2, 44, 93.—

Esp.

In a confirmation or extension of what precedes, too, also:

et poscit quidem,

Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 45:

pergam, quo coepi hoc iter, Et quidem ego,

id. Hec. 1, 2, 120:

quod quidem perillustre fuit,

Nep. Att. 12, 3.—

In a qualification or opposing thought, but, however, yet:

utebatur hominibus improbis multis, et quidem optimis se viris deditum esse simulabat,

Cic. Cael. 5, 12:

re quidem verā,

but in fact, Nep. Con. 2, 2; id. Hann. 2, 6.—

In the phrases,

Ne... quidem, not even:

ne obsidibus quidem datis pacem redimere potuisse,

Caes. B. G. 1, 37 (v. ne).—

Nec (neque)... quidem, and not indeed, and that not (very rare, and never ac or et ne quidem; v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. Exc. 111, p. 809 sqq.; Rib. Lat. Part. p. 46 sqq.): his litteris animum tuum confirmandum puto;

nec iis quidem verbis, quibus... sed ut, etc.,

Cic. Fam. 6, 6, 2:

nec ejus quidem rei finem video,

id. ib. 12, 1, 1:

nec nunc quidem viris desidero adulescentis,

id. Sen. 9, 27; Quint. 9, 3, 55. —

At least, certainly, in truth, forsooth:

unum quidem hercle certum promitto tibi,

Plaut. Stich. 3, 2, 26:

non video causam, cur ita sit, hoc quidem tempore,

Cic. Att. 9, 2, 2:

ex me quidem nihil audire potuisses,

id. N. D. 1, 21, 57:

nunc quidem profecto Romae es,

id. Att. 6, 5, 1:

volui id quidem efficere certe,

id. Brut. 3, 13:

quidem certe,

Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 261; Caes. B. G. 7, 50, 4 al.— In expressing the utmost indignation, indeed, truly:

nam istaec quidem contumelia est,

for that is an affront indeed, Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 5; Caes. ap. Suet. Caes. 82.—

In introducing an example, for instance, for example:

Dicaearchus quidem et Aristoxenus nullum omnino animum esse dixerunt,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 22, 51; 1, 33, 80; Nep. Att. 11, 4; 14, 1

sānus, a, um (sanun', for sanusne, Plaut. Bacch. 3, 6, 37; id. Men. 5, 2, 66; id. Mere. 2, 2, 21; 2, 4, 21; id. Rud. 3, 2, 19; id. Truc. 2, 4, 13; cf.

sanan',

id. Am. 3, 2, 48; id. Cure. 5, 2, 54; id. Cist. 4, 1, 14; id. Ep. 5, 1, 42; id. Men. 2, 3, 43;

and sanin',

id. Ps. 4, 7, 83), adj. [kindr. with SA, sôs], sound, whole, healthy, physically or mentally (cf.: integer, incolumis, sospes, salvus).

Lit., sound in body, whole, healthy, well:

pars corporis,

video jam illum virum cui praeficias officio et muneri. Huic scilicet, Africanus (inquit), uni paene: nam in hoc fere uno sunt cetera,

Cic. Rep. 2, 42, 69; cf. id. ib. 1, 38, 60: quā mente esset Antonius, demonstravit: pessima scilicet et infidelissima, Nam, etc., Brut. ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 1, 1: a te litteras exspectabam: nondum scilicet;

nam has mane rescribebam,

not yet to be sure, Cic. Att. 13, 3, 1:

me in dolore... maxime scilicet consolatur spes, etc.,

id. Fam. 1, 6, 1; id. Q. Fr. 2, 6, 2:

quid ad haec Naevius? ridet scilicet nostram amentiam, qui, etc.,

id. Quint. 17, 55:

ego valde suspenso animo exspecto, primum te scilicet, deinde Marionem,

id. Fam. 16, 3, 2; id. Att. 2, 19, 4:

videtis ut senectus sit operosa et semper agens aliquid et moliens: tale scilicet, quale cujusque studium in superiore vita fuit,

such, naturally, id. Sen. 8, 26:

Brutus terram osculo contigit: scilicet, quod ea communis mater omnium mortalium esset,

evidently because, Liv. 1, 56 fin. —Often followed by sed, tamen, etc.:

cognoscat (orator) rerum gestarum et memoriae veteris ordinem, maxime scilicet nostrae civitatis, sed etiam imperiosorum populorum et regum illustrium,

Cic. Or. 34, 120:

scilicet nimis hic quidem est progressus, sed ex eo ipso est conjectura facilis,

id. de Or. 3, 23, 128; id. Q. Fr. 2, 12, 2:

maxime scilicet in homine, sed in omni animali,

id. Fin. 5, 20, 55:

me species quaedam commovit, inanis scilicet, sed commovit tamen,

id. ib. 5, 1, 3: nihil scilicet novi, ea tamen quae te ipsum probaturum esse confidam, id. ib. 1, 8, 28:

tuli scilicet moleste, ut debui, sed tamen constitui ad te venire,

id. Fam. 9, 23: tu interea Romae scilicet amicis praesto fuisti;

sed tamen illud cogita, etc.,

id. Mur. 20, 42; id. Tusc. 5, 39, 114:

Meneclides quidam, satis exercitatus in dicendo, ut Thebanus scilicet,

Nep. Epam. 5, 2: nota scilicet illa res, cum Decimus quidam Verginius, etc., that event is surely well known, etc., id. Rep. 2, 37, 63.—In an assertion put in the form of a question: Ch. Huc cum advenio, nulla erat. Pa. Comites secuti scilicet sunt virginem? followed her of course, Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 54.—

Elliptically (only ante-class.):

manifesta palam res indicat, inquis, in auras Aëris e terrā res omnes crescere alique, etc.... Scilicet: et nisi nos, etc.,

to be sure, by all means, quite right, certainly, Lucr. 1, 809. —Esp. as an answer: Le. Abi ad meam sororem. St. Ibitur. Le. Et gratulator meae sorori. St. Scilicet, of course, certainly, Plaut. Trin. 2, 4, 178; id. Ps. 4, 7, 82; id. Poen. 3, 2, 23; 3, 4, 25; id. Rud. 4, 3, 12; Ter. Eun. 3, 1, 11; 5, 8, 10; id. Ad. 4, 7, 11; 4, 7, 33; id. Hec. 3, 5, 17; id. Phorm. 5, 3, 9. —

In partic., of course, to be sure, doubtless, certainly, forsooth, when an assertion that is obviously false is ironically made or accepted (class.): Si. Meum gnatum rumor est amare. Da. Id populus curat scilicet! of course people trouble themselves a great deal about that! Ter. And. 1, 2, 14 (also cited Cic. Att. 13, 34); cf.:

scilicet is superis labor est, ea cura quietos Sollicitat,

Verg. A. 4, 379; Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 3, 1:

et ego id scilicet nesciebam!

id. Fin. 2, 31, 102:

et tu scilicet mavis numine deorum id factum quam casu arbitrari?

id. Div. 2, 21, 47; id. Verr. 2, 1, 54, § 142:

scilicet tibi graviorem dolorem patrui tui mors attulit quam C. Graccho fratris, et tibi acerbior ejus patrui mors est, quem numquam vidisti quam illi ejus fratris, quicum concordissime vixerat, etc.,

id. Rab. Perd. 5, 14:

scilicet is sum, qui existimem, Cn. Pisonem et Catilinam nihil scelerate ipsos per sese sine P. Sullā facere potuisse,

id. Sull. 24, 67; id. Pis. 9, 19; Quint. 8, prooem. § 25; cf.:

unde illa scilicet egregia laudatio: Tanto melior, ne ego quidem intellexi,

id. 8, 2, 18:

scilicet medio triennio defuerat tempus, etc.,

Tac. A. 6, 23; 1, 8 fin.; 3, 59; 11, 24; id. Agr. 2 al.—

Transf., in the postAug. per. sometimes, like dêlonoti in later Greek, merely as an expletory or explanatory particle, namely, to wit, that is to say:

quaedam etiam opera sub nomine alieno, nepotum scilicet et uxoris sororisque, fecit,

Suet. Aug. 29; id. Tib. 14:

manente villā, qualis fuerit olim, ne quid scilicet oculorum consuetudini deperiret,

id. Vesp. 2; so,

ne scilicet,

id. Gram. 4; Vulg. Gen. 2, 25 et saep.

vĭdēlĭcet, adv. [contr. from videre licet; cf. scilicet from scire licet; v. scilicet init.; prop. it is easy to see, to comprehend], serving, like scilicet, to confirm and complete what precedes (but with the difference that scilicet indicates rather the false, and videlicet the true explanation; v. Zumpt, Lat. Gram. § 345 n.); it is easy to see, it is clear or evident, clearly, plainly, evidently, manifestly, etc. (class., but much less freq. than scilicet).

Lit.

In gen.

With obj.-clause on account of videre (only ante- and post-class.; for in Cic. Att. 5, 11, 7, the better read. is datae):

videlicet, parcum illum fuisse senem, qui dixerit... Videlicet fuisse illum nequam adulescentem, etc.,

Plaut. Stich. 4, 1, 49 and 51:

esse videlicet in terris primordia rerum,

Lucr. 1, 210:

sed videlicet, eum vocabula rerum ignoravisse,

Gell. 17, 5, 9.—

As a mere particle:

nunc enim est Negotiosus interdius: videlicet Solon est,

Plaut. As. 3, 3, 9:

videlicet propter divitias inditum id nomen quasi est,

id. Capt. 2, 2, 36:

hic de nostris verbis errat videlicet, Quae hic sumus locuti,

Ter. Heaut. 2, 3, 22:

quae videlicet ille non ex agri consiturā, sed ex doctrinae indiciis interpretabatur,

Cic. Rep. 1, 17, 29:

nihil dolo factum, ac magis calliditate Jugurthae, cui videlicet speculanti iter suum cognitum esset,

Sall. J. 107, 3.—

Ellipt., in replies:

quid metuebant? Vim videlicet,

Cic. Caecin. 15, 44:

quid horum se negat fecisse? Illud videlicet unum, quod necesse est, pecuniam accepisse,

id. Verr. 2, 2, 33, § 80:

qui eorum... quorum? Videlicet qui supra scripti sunt,

id. Clu. 54, 148.—

In partic., it is easy to see, it is very plain, of course, forsooth, in an ironical or sarcastic sense, when the contrary is intended:

tuus videlicet salutaris consulatus, perniciosus meus,

Cic. Phil. 2, 6, 15:

homo videlicet timidus et permodestus (Catilina) vocem consulis ferre non potuit,

id. Cat. 2, 6, 12:

itaque censuit pecunias eorum publicandas, videlicet timens, ne, etc.,

Sall. C. 52, 14.—

Transf., as a mere complementary or explanatory particle, to wit, namely (class.;

whereas scilicet in this sense is only post-Aug.): caste jubet lex adire ad deos, animo videlicet,

Cic. Leg. 2, 10, 24: venisse tempus iis, qui in timore fuissent, conjuratos videlicet dicebat, ulciscendi se, id. Sest. 12, 28; cf. id. Rep. 1, 38, 60:

quale de Homero scribit Ennius, de quo videlicet saepissime vigilans solebat cogitare et loqui,

id. ib. 6, 10, 10.
