Ter. Ad. 5, 8, 16:

Quid desperatius, qui ne ementiendo quidem potueris auctorem adumbrare meliorem,
Cic. Dom. 30, 80.—
(β).

Ov. M. 15, 833;
and of one who establishes conditions of peace: leges captis justissimus auctor imposuit,
id. ib. 8, 101. —Hence, auctores fieri, to approve, accept, confirm a law:
cum de plebe consulem non accipiebat, patres ante auctores fieri coëgerit,

Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 70:
auctorem rumorem habere,
Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 19: fama nuntiabat te esse in Syriā;
auctor erat nemo,
id. Fam. 12, 4:
non si mihi Juppiter auctor Spondeat,
Verg. A. 5, 17:

F.
In judic. lang., t. t.
1.
A seller, vender (inasmuch as he warrants the right of possession of the thing to be sold, and transfers it to the purchaser; sometimes the jurists make a distinction between auctor primus and auctor secundus; the former is the seller himself, the latter the bail or security whom the former brings, Dig. 21, 2, 4; cf.
Salmas. Mod. Usur. pp. 728 and 733): quod a malo auctore emīssent,
Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 22:
auctor fundi,
id. Caecin. 10; Dig. 19, 1, 52: Inpero (auctor ego sum), ut tu me quoivis castrandum loces, Plaut. Aul. 2, 2, 73 Wagn.; id. Ep. 3, 2, 21; id. Curc. 4, 2, 12.— Trop.:

pupillus obligari tutori eo auctore non potest,
Dig. 26, 8, 5.—
3.
In espousals, auctores are the witnesses of the marriage contract (parents, brothers, guardians, relatives, etc.):
nubit genero socrus, nullis auspicibus, nullis auctoribus,

meae salutis,
id. Sest. 50, 107:
doloris sui, querelarum, etc.,
id. Fl. 22 fin.
► In class.
Lat. auctor is also used as fem.:
eas aves, quibus auctoribus etc.,
Cic. Div. 1, 15, 27:
Et hostes aderant et (Theoxena) auctor mortis instabat,
Liv. 40, 4, 15:
auctor ego (Juno) audendi,
Verg. A. 12, 159; Ov. M. 8, 108; id. F. 5, 192; 6, 709; id. H. 14, 110; 15, 3; Sen. Med. 968; cf. Paul. ex Fest. p. 29 Müll. The distinction which the grammarians, Serv. ad Verg. A. 12, 159, Prob. p. 1452 sq. P., and others make between auctor fem. and auctrix, that auctrix would refer more to the lit. signif. of the verb, augeo, while auctor fem. has more direct relation to the prevailing signif. of its noun, auctoritas, is unfounded.
