Fig.

In gen., to fall out, come to pass, happen, occur; and with dat. pers., to happen to, to befall one. (The distinction between the syn. evenio, accido, and contingo is this: evenio, i. e. ex-venio, is used of either fortunate or unfortunate events: accido, of occurrences which take us by surprise; hence it is used either of an indifferent, or, which is its general use, of an unfortunate occurrence: contingo, i. e. contango, indicates that an event accords with [p. 17] one's wishes; and hence is generally used of fortunate events. As Isid. says, Differ. 1: Contingunt bona: accidunt mala: eveniunt utraque):

Facere omitted, especially in short sentences expressing a judgment upon conduct, etc.:

factus, a, um, P. a.

As adjective ante-class. and very rare:

The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

Frequently, esp. in Cic., with the kindred words aliquando, alicubi, aliquo, etc., for the sake of emphasis or rhetorical fulness, Cic. Planc. 14, 35:

id. ib. 13, 33; id. Sest. 6, 14; id. Mil. 25, 67:

In Verg. once with the second person sing.:

Et ait idem, ut aliquis metus adjunctus sit ad gratiam,

Cic. Div. in Caecil. 7, 24 B. and K.:

Tac. Or. 41 Halm:

sic est aliquis oratorum campus,

id. ib. 39 id.:

sive sensus aliquis argutā sententiā effulsit,

id. ib. 20 id. A similar use of aliquid for the adj. aliquod was asserted to exist in Plaut. by Lind. ad Cic. Inv. 2, 6, 399, and this is repeated by Klotz, s. v. aliquis, but Lemaire's Index gives only one instance: ni occupo aliquid mihi consilium, Plaut. Men. 5, 2, 94, where Brix now reads aliquod.

Esp.

In a pregn. signif. as in Gr. tis, ti, something considerable, important, or great = aliquid magnum (v. supra. I. B.; cf. in Gr. hoti oiesthe ti poiein ouden poiountes, Plat. Symp. 1, 4):

non omnia in ducis, aliquid et in militum manu esse,

Etenim si nunc aliquid assequi se putant, qui ostium Ponti viderunt,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 20, 45.—

In colloquial lang.: fiet aliquid, something important or great, will, may come to pass or happen: Ch. Invenietur, exquiretur, aliquid fiet. Eu. Enicas. Jam istuc aliquid fiet, metuo, Plaut. Merc. 2, 4, 25:

Hinc ad Antonium nemo, illinc ad Caesarem cotidie aliquid transfugiebat,

Vell. 2, 84, 2 (cf. in Gr. tôn d allôn ou per ti... oute theôn out anthrôpôn, Hom. H. Ven. 34 sq. Herm.).— Hence the advv.

plur., and aliquam, acc., and aliquā, abl., used adverbially, may also be referred to the adj. ălĭqui, ălĭqua, ălĭquod.

ălĭquis, aliquid; plur. aliqui [alius-quis; cf. Engl. somebody or other, i.e. some person [p. 88] obscurely definite; v. Donald. Varron. p. 381 sq.] ( fem. sing. rare).— Abl. sing. aliqui, Plaut.

oftener aliquis,

id. 26, 15; 26, 49; Plin. 2, 48, 49, § 131.—Alicui, trisyl., Tib. 4, 7, 2), indef. subst. pron., some one, somebody, any one, something, any thing; in the plur., some, any (it is opp. to an object definitely stated, as also to no one, nobody. The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

A.. In gen.: nam nos decebat domum Lugere, ubi esset aliquis in lucem editus, Enn. ap. Cic. Tusc. 1, 48, 115 (as a transl. of Eurip. Cresph. Fragm. ap. Stob. tit. 121, Edei gar hêmas sullogon poioumenous Ton phunta thrênein, etc.):

aliquid facerem, ut hoc ne facerem,

I would do any thing, that I might not do this, Ter. And. 1, 5, 24; so id. Phorm. 5, 6, 34:

fit plerumque, ut ei, qui boni quid volunt adferre, adfingant aliquid, quo faciant id, quod nuntiant, laetius,

quamvis enim demersae sunt leges alicujus opibus,

id. Off. 2, 7, 24:

quod motum adfert alicui,

to any thing, id. Tusc. 1, 23, 53: te donabo ego hodie aliqui (abl.), Plaut. Most. 1, 3, 18; so, gaudere aliqui me volo, in some thing (or some way), id. Truc. 5, 30:

nec manibus humanis (Deus) colitur indigens aliquo,

any thing, Vulg. Act. 17, 25:

nunc aliquis dicat mihi: Quid tu?

Hor. S. 1, 3, 19; so id. ib. 2, 2, 94; 2, 2, 105; 2, 3, 6; 2, 5, 42, and id. Ep. 2, 1, 206.— Fem. sing.:

Forsitan audieris aliquam certamine cursus Veloces superāsse viros,

Ov. M. 10, 560:

majus aliquid et excelsius,

Tac. A. 3, 53:

melius aliquid,

Vulg. Heb. 11, 40:

ad unum aliquem confugiebant,

Cic. Off. 2, 12, 41 (cf. id. ib. 2, 12, 42: id si ab uno justo et bono viro consequebantur, erant, etc.): sin aliquis excellit unus e multis;

effert se, si unum aliquid adfert,

id. de Or. 3, 33, 136; so id. Verr. 2, 2, 52:

aliquis unus pluresve divitiores,

id. Rep. 1, 32: nam si natura non prohibet et esse virum bonum et esse dicendiperitum:

cur non aliquis etiam unus utrumque consequi possit? cur autem non se quisque speret fore illum aliquem?

Frequently, esp. in Cic., with the kindred words aliquando, alicubi, aliquo, etc., for the sake of emphasis or rhetorical fulness, Cic. Planc. 14, 35:

asperius locutus est aliquid aliquando,

id. ib. 13, 33; id. Sest. 6, 14; id. Mil. 25, 67:

Tac. Or. 41 Halm:

sic est aliquis oratorum campus,

id. ib. 39 id.:

sive sensus aliquis argutā sententiā effulsit,

id. ib. 20 id. A similar use of aliquid for the adj. aliquod was asserted to exist in Plaut. by Lind. ad Cic. Inv. 2, 6, 399, and this is repeated by Klotz, s. v. aliquis, but Lemaire's Index gives only one instance: ni occupo aliquid mihi consilium, Plaut. Men. 5, 2, 94, where Brix now reads aliquod.

Esp.

vellem aliquid Antonio praeter illum libellum libuisset scribere,

Cic. Brut. 44:

aut ipse occurrebat aut aliquos mittebat,

Liv. 34, 38:

cum seditionem sedare vellem, cum frumentum imperarem..., cum aliquid denique rei publicae causā gererem,

Cic. Verr. 1, 27, 20: commentabar declamitans saepe cum M. Pisone et cum Q. Pompeio aut cum aliquo cotidie id. Brut. 90, 310; Vell. 1, 17; Tac. A. 1, 4: (Tiberius) neque spectacula omnino edidit;

et iis, quae ab aliquo ederentur, rarissime interfuit,

Suet. Tib. 47.—

In a pregn. signif. as in Gr. tis, ti, something considerable, important, or great = aliquid magnum (v. supra. I. B.; cf. in Gr. hoti oiesthe ti poiein ouden poiountes, Plat. Symp. 1, 4):

non omnia in ducis, aliquid et in militum manu esse,

sed, etc.,

Cic. Att. 3, 15: est istuc quidem aliquid, sed, etc.; id. Sen. 3; id. Cat. 1, 4:

Etenim si nunc aliquid assequi se putant, qui ostium Ponti viderunt,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 20, 45.—

In colloquial lang.: fiet aliquid, something important or great, will, may come to pass or happen: Ch. Invenietur, exquiretur, aliquid fiet. Eu. Enicas. Jam istuc aliquid fiet, metuo, Plaut. Merc. 2, 4, 25:

mane, aliquid fiet, ne abi,

id. Truc. 2, 4, 15; Ter. And. 2, 1, 14.—

Ad aliquid esse, in gram. lang., to refer or relate to something else, e. g. pater, filius, frater, etc. (v. ad):

idem cum interrogantur, cur aper apri et pater patris faciat, il lud nomen positum, hoc ad aliquid esse contendunt,

Quint. 1, 6, 13 Halm.—

Atque aliquis, poet. in imitation of hôide de tis, and thus some one (Hom. II. 7, 178;

7, 201 al.): Atque aliquis, magno quaerens exempla timori, Non alios, inquit, motus, etc.,

Luc. 2, 67 Web.; Stat. Th. 1, 171; Claud. Eutr. 1, 350.—

It is sometimes omitted before qui, esp. in the phrase est qui, sunt qui:

praemittebatque de stipulatoribus suis, qui perscrutarentur, etc.,

Cic. Off. 2, 7, 25:

sunt quibus in satirā videar nimis acer,

sunt qui adiciant his evidentiam, quae, etc.,

Quint. 4, 2, § 63 (cf. on the contr. § 69: verum in his quoque confessionibus est aliquid. quod ex invidiā detrahi possit).—

Aliquid, like nihil (q. v. I. g), is used of persons:

plur., and aliquam, acc., and aliquā, abl., used adverbially, may also be referred to the adj. ălĭqui, ălĭqua, ălĭquod.

ălĭquis, aliquid; plur. aliqui [alius-quis; cf. Engl. somebody or other, i.e. some person [p. 88] obscurely definite; v. Donald. Varron. p. 381 sq.] ( fem. sing. rare).— Abl. sing. aliqui, Plaut.

oftener aliquis,

id. 26, 15; 26, 49; Plin. 2, 48, 49, § 131.—Alicui, trisyl., Tib. 4, 7, 2), indef. subst. pron., some one, somebody, any one, something, any thing; in the plur., some, any (it is opp. to an object definitely stated, as also to no one, nobody. The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

A.. In gen.: nam nos decebat domum Lugere, ubi esset aliquis in lucem editus, Enn. ap. Cic. Tusc. 1, 48, 115 (as a transl. of Eurip. Cresph. Fragm. ap. Stob. tit. 121, Edei gar hêmas sullogon poioumenous Ton phunta thrênein, etc.):

aliquid facerem, ut hoc ne facerem,

I would do any thing, that I might not do this, Ter. And. 1, 5, 24; so id. Phorm. 5, 6, 34:

fit plerumque, ut ei, qui boni quid volunt adferre, adfingant aliquid, quo faciant id, quod nuntiant, laetius,

Cic. Phil. 1, 3:

quamvis enim demersae sunt leges alicujus opibus,

id. Off. 2, 7, 24:

quod motum adfert alicui,

to any thing, id. Tusc. 1, 23, 53: te donabo ego hodie aliqui (abl.), Plaut. Most. 1, 3, 18; so, gaudere aliqui me volo, in some thing (or some way), id. Truc. 5, 30:

nec manibus humanis (Deus) colitur indigens aliquo,

any thing, Vulg. Act. 17, 25:

non est tua ulla culpa, si te aliqui timuerunt,

in narratione, ut aliqua neganda, aliqua adicienda, sic aliqua etiam tacenda,

Quint. 4, 2, 67:

sunt aliqua epistulis eorum inserta,

laudare aliqua, ferre quaedam,

nunc aliquis dicat mihi: Quid tu?

Hor. S. 1, 3, 19; so id. ib. 2, 2, 94; 2, 2, 105; 2, 3, 6; 2, 5, 42, and id. Ep. 2, 1, 206.— Fem. sing.:

Forsitan audieris aliquam certamine cursus Veloces superāsse viros,

Ov. M. 10, 560:

si qua tibi spon sa est, haec tibi sive aliqua est,

id. ib. 4, 326.—

majus aliquid et excelsius,

Tac. A. 3, 53:

melius aliquid,

Vulg. Heb. 11, 40:

deterius aliquid,

ib. Joan. 5, 14.—Also with unus, to designate a single, but not otherwise defined person:

ad unum aliquem confugiebant,

Cic. Off. 2, 12, 41 (cf. id. ib. 2, 12, 42: id si ab uno justo et bono viro consequebantur, erant, etc.): sin aliquis excellit unus e multis;

effert se, si unum aliquid adfert,

id. de Or. 3, 33, 136; so id. Verr. 2, 2, 52:

aliquis unus pluresve divitiores,

id. Rep. 1, 32: nam si natura non prohibet et esse virum bonum et esse dicendiperitum:

cur non aliquis etiam unus utrumque consequi possit? cur autem non se quisque speret fore illum aliquem?

Frequently, esp. in Cic., with the kindred words aliquando, alicubi, aliquo, etc., for the sake of emphasis or rhetorical fulness, Cic. Planc. 14, 35:

asperius locutus est aliquid aliquando,

id. ib. 13, 33; id. Sest. 6, 14; id. Mil. 25, 67:

non despero fore aliquem aliquando,

id. de Or. 1, 21, 95; id. Rep. 1, 9; id. Or. 42, 144; id. Fam. 7, 11 med.: evadat saltem aliquid aliquā, quod conatus sum, Lucil. ap. Non. 293, 1; App. Mag. p. 295, 17 al.—

In conditional clauses with si, nisi, quod si, etc.:

si aliquid de summā gravitate Pompeius dimisisset,

Cic. Phil. 13, 1: si aliquid ( really any thing, in contrast with nihil) dandum est voluptati, id. Sen. 13, 44: quod si non possimus aliquid proficere suadendo, Lucc. ap. Cic. Fam. 5, 14, 5:

In Verg. once with the second person sing.:

Exoriare aliquis nostris ex ossibus ultor, Qui face Dardanios ferroque sequare colonos,

Et ait idem, ut aliquis metus adjunctus sit ad gratiam,

Cic. Div. in Caecil. 7, 24 B. and K.:

id. Tusc. 1, 34, 82 iid.:

ut aliquis nos deus tolleret,

id. Am. 23, 87 iid.: sin casus aliquis interpellārit, Matius ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 28, 8 iid.:

Tac. Or. 41 Halm:

sic est aliquis oratorum campus,

id. ib. 39 id.:

sive sensus aliquis argutā sententiā effulsit,

id. ib. 20 id. A similar use of aliquid for the adj. aliquod was asserted to exist in Plaut. by Lind. ad Cic. Inv. 2, 6, 399, and this is repeated by Klotz, s. v. aliquis, but Lemaire's Index gives only one instance: ni occupo aliquid mihi consilium, Plaut. Men. 5, 2, 94, where Brix now reads aliquod.

Esp.

With alius, aliud: some or any other, something else, any thing else:

vellem aliquid Antonio praeter illum libellum libuisset scribere,

Cic. Brut. 44:

aut ipse occurrebat aut aliquos mittebat,

Liv. 34, 38:

cum seditionem sedare vellem, cum frumentum imperarem..., cum aliquid denique rei publicae causā gererem,

Cic. Verr. 1, 27, 20: commentabar declamitans saepe cum M. Pisone et cum Q. Pompeio aut cum aliquo cotidie id. Brut. 90, 310; Vell. 1, 17; Tac. A. 1, 4: (Tiberius) neque spectacula omnino edidit;

et iis, quae ab aliquo ederentur, rarissime interfuit,

Suet. Tib. 47.—

In a pregn. signif. as in Gr. tis, ti, something considerable, important, or great = aliquid magnum (v. supra. I. B.; cf. in Gr. hoti oiesthe ti poiein ouden poiountes, Plat. Symp. 1, 4):

non omnia in ducis, aliquid et in militum manu esse,

Liv. 45, 36.—Hence, esp.,

Esse aliquem or aliquid, to be somebody or something, i. e to be of some worth, value, or note, to be esteemed:

atque fac, ut me velis esse aliquem,

Cic. Att. 3, 15 fin.:

aude aliquid brevibus Gyaris dignum, si vis esse aliquis,

Juv. 1, 73:

an quidquam stultius quam quos singulos contemnas, eos esse aliquid putare universos?

Cic. Tusc. 5, 36, 104:

id. Fam. 6, 18:

qui videbantur aliquid esse,

Vulg. Gal. 2, 2; 2, 6: quod te cum Culeone scribis de privilegio locutum, est aliquid ( it is something, it is no trifle):

sed, etc.,

Cic. Att. 3, 15: est istuc quidem aliquid, sed, etc.; id. Sen. 3; id. Cat. 1, 4:

est aliquid nupsisse Jovi,

Ov. F. 6, 27:

Dicere aliquid, like legein ti, to say something worth the while:

diceres aliquid et magno quidem philosopho dignum,

Cic. Tusc. 3, 16, 35; cf. Herm. ad Vig. 731; 755; so, assequi aliquid, to effect something considerable:

Etenim si nunc aliquid assequi se putant, qui ostium Ponti viderunt,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 20, 45.—

In colloquial lang.: fiet aliquid, something important or great, will, may come to pass or happen: Ch. Invenietur, exquiretur, aliquid fiet. Eu. Enicas. Jam istuc aliquid fiet, metuo, Plaut. Merc. 2, 4, 25:

mane, aliquid fiet, ne abi,

id. Truc. 2, 4, 15; Ter. And. 2, 1, 14.—

Ad aliquid esse, in gram. lang., to refer or relate to something else, e. g. pater, filius, frater, etc. (v. ad):

idem cum interrogantur, cur aper apri et pater patris faciat, il lud nomen positum, hoc ad aliquid esse contendunt,

Quint. 1, 6, 13 Halm.—

Atque aliquis, poet. in imitation of hôide de tis, and thus some one (Hom. II. 7, 178;

7, 201 al.): Atque aliquis, magno quaerens exempla timori, Non alios, inquit, motus, etc.,

Luc. 2, 67 Web.; Stat. Th. 1, 171; Claud. Eutr. 1, 350.—

It is sometimes omitted before qui, esp. in the phrase est qui, sunt qui:

praemittebatque de stipulatoribus suis, qui perscrutarentur, etc.,

Cic. Off. 2, 7, 25:

sunt quibus in satirā videar nimis acer,

Hor. S. 2, 1, 1:

sunt qui adiciant his evidentiam, quae, etc.,

Quint. 4, 2, § 63 (cf. on the contr. § 69: verum in his quoque confessionibus est aliquid. quod ex invidiā detrahi possit).—

Aliquid, like nihil (q. v. I. g), is used of persons:

Hinc ad Antonium nemo, illinc ad Caesarem cotidie aliquid transfugiebat,

Vell. 2, 84, 2 (cf. in Gr. tôn d allôn ou per ti... oute theôn out anthrôpôn, Hom. H. Ven. 34 sq. Herm.).— Hence the advv.

ălĭquid (prop. acc. denoting in what respect, with a verb or [p. 89] adj.; so in Gr. ti), somewhat, in something, in some degree, to some extent:

illud vereor, ne tibi illum succensere aliquid suspicere,

Cic. Deiot. 13, 35:

si in me aliquid offendistis,

at all, in any respect, id. Mil. 36, 99:

quos tamen aliquid usus ac disciplina sublevarent,

somewhat, Caes. B. G. 1, 40:

Philippi regnum officere aliquid videtur libertati vestrae,

Liv. 31, 29:

Nos aliquid Rutulos contra juvisse nefandum est?

neque circumcisio aliquid valet,
