IV.
In composition, ex (cf. dis) before vowels and h, and before c, p, q, t (exagito, exeo, exigo, exoro, exuro, exhaurio; excedo, expello, exquiro, extraho); ef (sometimes ec) before f (effero, effluo, effringo; also in good MSS. ecfero, ecfari, ecfodio), elsewhere e (eblandior, educo, egredior, eicio, eligo, emitto, enitor, evado, eveho). A few exceptions are found, viz., in ex: epoto and epotus as well as expotus, and escendo as well as exscensio; in e: exbibo as well as ebibo; exballisto, exbola; exdorsuo; exfututa as well as effutuo; exfibulo; exlex, etc. After ex in compounds s is [p. 671] often elided in MSS. and edd. Both forms are correct, but the best usage and analogy favor the retaining of the s; so, exsaevio, exsanguis, exscensio, exscindo, exscribo, exsculpo, exseco, exsecror, exsequiae, exsequor, exsero, exsicco, exsilio, exsilium, exsisto, exsolvo, exsomnis, exsorbeo, exsors, exspecto, exspes, exspiro, exspolio, exspuo, exsterno, exstimulo, exstinguo, exstirpo, exsto, exstruo, exsudo, exsugo, exsul, exsulto, exsupero, exsurgo, exsuscito, and some others, with their derivv.; cf. Ribbeck, Prol. Verg. p. 445 sq. Only in escendere and escensio is the elision of x before s sustained by preponderant usage; cf. Neue, Formenl. 2, p. 766.—
B.
Signification.
1.
Primarily and most freq. of place, out or forth: exeo, elabor, educo, evado, etc.; and in an upward direction: emineo, effervesco, effero, erigo, exsurgo, exsulto, extollo, everto, etc.—Hence also, trop., out of ( a former nature), as in effeminare, qs. to change out of his own nature into that of a woman: effero, are, to render wild; thus ex comes to denote privation or negation, Engl. un-: exanimare, excusare, enodare, exonerare, effrenare, egelidus, I., elinguis, elumbis, etc.—
2.
Throughout, to the end: effervesco, effero, elugeo; so in the neuter verbs which in composition (esp. since the Aug. per.) become active: egredior, enavigo, eno, enitor, excedo, etc.—Hence, thoroughly, utterly, completely: elaudare, emori, enecare, evastare, evincere (but eminari and eminatio are false readings for minari and minatio; q. v.); and hence a simple enhancing of the principal idea: edurus, efferus, elamentabilis, egelidus, exacerbo, exaugeo, excolo, edisco, elaboro, etc. In many compounds, however, of post - Aug. and especially of post-class. Latinity this force of ex is no longer distinct; so in appellations of color: exalbidus, exaluminatus, etc.; so in exabusus, exambire, exancillatus, etc. Vid. Hand Turs. II. Pp. 613-662.

hiems jam praecipitaverat,
Caes. B. C. 3, 25, 1:
domum quam tu jam exaedificatam habebas,
Cic. Att. 1, 6, 1.—
2.
Like English now, by this time, already.
a.
Alone:
jam advesperascebat,
Liv. 39, 50:
Hannibalem movisse ex hibernis, et jam Alpes transire,
id. 27, 39:
et jam fama volans... domos et moenia complet,
Verg. A. 11, 139; 12, 582; Caes. B. G. 1, 11; 6, 6:

Liv. 6, 32:
cum decimum jam diem graviter ex intestinis laborarem,
Cic. Fam. 7, 26, 1.—
b.
Strengthened.
(α).
Jam jamque, Verg. A. 8, 708.—
(β).
By tum, as early as that:
se jam tum gessisse pro cive,
Cic. Arch. 5, 11; Liv. 29, 1; Verg. 7, 738; Tac. Agr. 45.—
(γ).
By tunc (post-Aug.;
once in Cic.),
Suet. Aug. 89; id. Ner. 7; Tac. H. 4, 50; Cic. Fam. 3, 12, 3 dub.—
3.
Of a time succeeding another time referred to, from that time, thenceforth, thereafter (esp. with a or ab, when it is often = Eng. even, very):
qui aequom esse censent nos jam a pueris nasci senes,
Ter. Heaut. 2, 1, 2:
quae me maxime sicuti jam a prima adolescentia delectarunt,
Cic. Fam. 1, 9, 67:

id. ib. 4, 7, 1:
dederas enim jam ab adolescentia documenta,
id. Mil. 8, 22: jam ab illo tempore, cum, etc., from the very time when, etc., id. Fam. 2, 16, 9; cf.:
urgerent philosophorum greges jam ab illo fonte et capite Socrate,
id. de Or. 1, 10, 42. —So with ex:
jam ex quo ipse accepisset regnum,
ever since, Liv. 42, 11, 8.—
C.
Of future time.
1.
In the time immediately approaching, forthwith, straightway, directly, presently:
occlude sis fores ambobus pessulis: jam ego hic ero,
Plaut. Aul. 1, 2, 25:
ille jam hic aderit,
id. Ep. 2, 2, 72: omitte;
jam adero,
Ter. Eun. 4, 6, 26; cf. id. ib. 4, 6, 1; id. And. 1, 2, 9; 4, 4, 38: bono animo es;

jam faciam quod voltis,
Hor. S. 1, 1, 16:
jam enim aderunt consules ad suas Nonas,
Cic. Att. 7, 20, 2.—
2.
In the time immediately succeeding another time referred to, forthwith, at once, straightway, then:
nunc ubi me illic non videbit, jam huc recurret,
Ter. Ad. 4, 1, 10:
accede ad ignem... jam calesces,
id. Eun. 1, 2, 5:
nisi puerum tollis, jam ego hunc in mediam viam provolvam,
id. And. 4, 4, 38:

Cic. Brut. 25, 96:
agedum, dictatorem creemus. Jam hic centicescet furor,
Liv. 2, 29, 11:
aperi, inquit, jam scies,
Petr. 16, 2; cf. Verg. A. 1, 272.—
3.
Representing as present an impending event, now, already, presently (mostly poet.):
jam te premet nox,
Hor. C. 1, 4, 16:
jam veniet mors, jam subrepet iners aetas,
Tib. 1, 1, 70:
jam mare turbari trabibus videbis, jam fervere litora flammis,
Verg. A. 4, 566; 6, 676:
alius Latio jam partus Achilles,
id. ib. 6, 89:
hic magnae jam locus urbis erit,
Tib. 2, 5, 55.—
D.
With negatives, denoting cessation of previous condition: jam non, no more, no longer:
quem odisse jam non potestis,
Cic. Clu. 10, 29; Ov. M. 4, 382:
non jam,
not any more, Cic. Div. in Caecil. 1, 3:
nihil jam,
Caes. B. G. 2, 21.—
E.
With comparatives:
ad mitiora jam ingenia,
which had become milder, Liv. 27. 39:
ad ferociores jam gentes,
which then were less civilized, id. 21, 60:
una jam potior sententia,
Stat. Th. 2, 368.
II.
In other relations.
A.
To denote that something will certainly, properly, or easily occur, under certain circumstances.
1.
In a conclusion, to emphasize its relation to the condition, then surely, then:
si cogites, remittas jam me onerare injuriis,
Ter. And. 5, 1, 6: si quis voluerit animi sui [p. 1012] notionem evolvere, jam se ipse doceat, eum virum bonum esse, Cic. Off. 3, 19, 76:
si hoc dixissem, jam mihi consuli jure optimo senatus vim intulisset,
id. Cat. 1, 8, 21; id. Leg. 1, 12, 34; id. Brut. 17, 68:
si jubeat eo dirigi, jam in portu fore omnem classem,
Liv. 29, 27, 8.—
2.
In a consequence, to show that it is conceived as immediate, now, then, therefore: satis est tibi in te, satis in legibus;
jam contemni non poteris,
Cic. Fin. 2, 26, 84:
jam hoc non potest in te non honorifice esse dictum,
id. Fam. 5, 2, 2; id. Leg. 2, 24, 60; id. Clu. 16, 46:
nec hanc solam Romani meretricem colunt... Jam quanta ista immortalitas putanda est,
Lact. 1, 20, 5:
Quae cum ita sint, ego jam hinc praedico,
Liv. 40, 36, 14: conspecta et ex muris ea multitudo erat;
jamque etiam legionariae cohortes sequebantur,
id. 10, 43, 1.—
B.
In transitions.
1.
To a new subject, now, moreover, again, once more then:
jam de artificiis et quaestibus... haec fere accepimus,
Cic. Off. 1, 42, 150; Verg. G. 2, 57:
jam jura legitima ex legibus cognosci oportebit,
Cic. Inv. 2, 22, 68:
jam illud senatus consultum, quod eo die factum est, etc.,
id. Fam. 5, 2, 4:
jam Saliare Numae carmen qui laudat,
Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 86. —So with vero:
jam vero motus animi, sollicitudines aegritudinesque oblivione leniuntur,
Cic. Tusc. 5, 38, 110:
jam vero virtuti Cn. Pompei quae potest par oratio inveniri?
id. de Imp. Pomp. 11, 29; 14, 41; id. Off. 3, 13 init. —With at enim:
at enim jam dicetis virtutem non posse constitui, si ea, etc.,
Cic. Fin. 4, 15, 40 init. —
2.
In enumerations:
et aures... itemque nares... jam gustatus... tactus autem,
Cic. N. D. 2, 56, 141.—So sometimes repeatedly, at one time... at another... at another, jam... jam... jam:
jam medici, jam apparatus cibi, jam in hoc solum importatum instrumentum balinei nullius non succurrit valetudini,
Vell. 2, 114, 2; cf. Flor. 2, 17, 8, and I. A. 5. supra.—
C.
For emphasis.
1.
After non modo... sed ( = adeo), now, even, I may say:
non cum senatu modo, sed jam cum diis bellum gerere,
Liv. 21, 63, 6.—
2.
Pressing the strict sense of a word or clause, now, precisely, indeed:
(Hieronymum) quem jam cur Peripateticum appellem, nescio,
Cic. Fin. 5, 5, 14:
hoc quidem haud molestum est jam, quod collus collari caret,
Plaut. Capt. 2, 2, 107:
loquor enim jam non de sapientium, sed de communibus amicitiis,
Cic. Lael. 21, 77:
te quoque jam, Thais, ita me di bene ament, amo,
Ter. Eun. 5, 2, 43:
imitatio morum alienorum... jam inter leniores affectus numerari potest,
Quint. 9, 2, 58:
reliqua jam aequitatis sunt,
id. 7, 1, 62:
cetera jam fabulosa,
Tac. G. 46:
desine: jam venio moriturus,
Verg. A. 10, 881.—So esp. with et: et jam (cf. etiam), and indeed, and in fact, et lenitas illa Graecorum et verborum comprehensio, et jam artifex, ut ita dicam, stilus, Cic. Brut. 25, 96:
pulchriora etiam Polycleti et jam plane perfecta,
id. ib. 18, 70:
Pompeium et hortari et orare et jam liberius accusare non desistimus,
id. Fam. 1, 1, 3; Quint. Decl. 5, 3; Luc. 8, 659; cf.
jamque,
Cic. Fam. 4, 6, 9; so,
jam et: nec deerat Ptolemaeus, jam et sceleris instinctor,
Tac. H. 1, 23; 1, 22;
and, ac jam: ac jam, ut omnia contra opinionem acciderent, tamen se plurimum navibus posse,
Caes. B. G. 3, 9: jam ergo, in very fact:
jam ergo aliquis condemnavit,
Cic. Clu. 41, 113.—
3.
In climax, even, indeed, really:
opus Paniceis, opus Placentinis quoque... jam maritumi omnes milites opus sunt mihi,
Plaut. Capt. 1, 2, 59:
jam illa quae natura, non litteris, assecuti sunt, neque cum Graecia neque ulla cum gente sunt conferenda,
Cic. Tusc. 1, 1, 2:
jam in opere quis par Romano miles?
Liv. 9, 19, 8; Quint. 12, 1, 45; Cic. Rep. 1, 5; Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 83.

α. to show how someth. is to be understood is a representation of, is the equivalent of; εἰμί here, too, serves as copula; we usually translate mean, so in the formula τοῦτʼ ἔστιν this or that means, that is to say (Epict., Ench. 33, 10; Arrian, Tact. 29, 3; SIG 880, 50; PFlor 157, 4; PSI 298, 9; PMert 91, 9; Jos., C.

Mk 7:2; Ac 19:4; Ro 7:18; 9:8; 10:6, 8; Phlm 12; Hb 7:5 al.; in the sense that is (when translated) (Polyaenus 8, 14, 1 Μάξιμος ἀνηγορεύθη• τοῦτο δʼ ἄν εἴη Μέγιστον) Mt 27:46; Ac 1:19. So also w. relative pron.: ὅ ἐστιν Mk 3:17; 7:11, 34; Hb 7:2. After verbs of asking, recognizing, knowing and not knowing (Antiphanes Com. 231, 1f τὸ ζῆν τί ἐστι;) μάθετε τί ἐστιν learn what (this) means Mt 9:13. εἰ ἐγνώκειτε τί ἐστιν 12:7; cp.

β. to be of relative significance, be of moment or importance, amount to someth. w. indef. pron. εἰδωλόθυτόν τί ἐστιν meat offered to idols means anything 1 Cor 10:19.

ⓔ In many cases the usage w. the ptc. serves to emphasize the duration of an action or condition (BGU 183, 25 ἐφʼ ὸ̔ν χρόνον ζῶσα ᾖ Σαταβούς); JosAs 2:1 ἦν … ἐξουθενοῦσα καὶ καταπτύουσα πάντα ἄνδρα). ἦν διδάσκων he customarily taught Mk 1:22; Lk 4:31; 19:47. ἦν θέλων he cherished the wish 23:8. ἦσαν νηστεύοντες they were keeping the fast Mk 2:18. ἦσαν συλλαλοῦντες they were conversing for a while 9:4. ἦν προσδεχόμενος he was waiting for (the kgdm.) 15:43. ἦν συγκύπτουσα she was bent over Lk 13:11.

ⓕ to emphasize the adjectival idea inherent in the ptc. rather than the concept of action expressed by the finite verb ζῶν εἰμι I am alive Rv 1:18. ἦν ὑποτασσόμενος he was obedient Lk 2:51. ἦν ἔχων κτήματα πολλά he was very rich Mt 19:22; Mk 10:22. ἴσθι ἐξουσίαν ἔχων you shall have authority Lk 19:17 (Lucian, Tim. 35 ἴσθι εὐδαιμονῶν). ἦν καταλλάσσων (God) was reconciling 2 Cor 5:19 (cp. Mel., P. 83, 622 οὗτος ἦν ὁ ἐκλεξάμενός σε; Ath. 15, 2 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ … καρπούμενος).—LMcGaughy, Toward a Descriptive Analysis of ΕΙΝΑΙ as a Linking Verb in the Gk. NT, diss.
