incertum+esse

ac-cīdo, cīdi, cīsum, 3, v. a. [caedo], to begin to cut or to cut into [cf.: adamo, addubito, etc.); hence, so to cut a thing that it falls, to fell, to cut (as verb. finit. very rare).

Lit.:

accidunt arbores, tantum ut summa species earum stantium relinquatur,

Caes. B. G. 6, 27, 4:

accisa ornus ferro,

Verg. A. 2, 626; cf.:

velut accisis recrescenti stirpibus,

Liv. 26, 41, 22:

accisis crinibus,

cut close, Tac. G. 19: ab locustis genus omne acciditur frugum, eaten up, Arnob. 1, 3.— Poet., to use up:

fames accisis coget dapibus consumere mensas,

Verg. A. 7, 125.—

Fig., to impair, weaken:

ita proelio uno accidit Vestinorum res, ut, etc.,

Liv. 8, 29, 12; so,

post accisas a Camillo Volscorum res,

id. 6, 5, 2; cf. 6, 12, 6.—Hence, accīsus, a, um, P. a., cut off or down; impaired, ruined: accisae res (opp. integrae), troubled, disordered, or unfortunate state of things:

res,

Cic. Prov. Cons. 14, 34; Liv. 3, 10, 8; 8, 11, 12 al.:

ac-cĭdo, cīdi, no sup., 3, v. n. [cado], to fall upon or down upon a thing, to reach it by falling.

In gen. constr. with ad, in, local adverbs, with dat. or absol.: utinam ne accidisset abiegna ad terram trabes, Enn. ap. Auct. Her. 2, 22 (Trag. p. 281 ed. Vahl., where it is: accĕdisset, acc. to the MSS., v. Vahl. N. v.):

ut missa tela gravius acciderent,

fall upon, hit, Caes. B. G. 3, 14; so Liv. 2, 50, 7.—

Esp.: a. ad genua or genibus, of a suppliant, to fall at one's knees: me orat mulier lacrimansque ad genua accidit, Enn. ap. Non. 517, 15 (Com. v. 9 ed. Vahl.); so Ter. Hec. 3, 3, 18; Suet. Caes. 20; id. Claud. 10;

for which: genibus praetoris,

Liv. 44, 31;

also: ad pedes,

Cic. Att. 1, 14, 5, and absol.: quo accĭdam? quo applicem? Enn. ap. Cic. Tusc. 3, 19, 44 (Trag. v. 114 ed. Vahl., where it is accĕdam).—

Transf., to strike the senses, to reach a thing by means of the senses; constr. with ad, the dat. or acc.: vox, sermo accidit ad aurīs (or auribus; also, aurīs alicujus), the voice, the speech falls upon or reaches the ear: nota vox ad aurīs accidit, Att. ap. Non. 39, 5:

nova res molitur ad aurīs accidere,

Lucr. 2, 1024; and:

nihil tam populare ad populi Romani aurīs accidisse,

Cic. Sest. 50, 107:

auribus,

Liv. 24, 46, 5; Quint. 12, 10, 75:

aurīs,

Plaut. Stich. 1, 2, 31; absol., Liv. 10, 5, 2; 27, 15, 16 sq.; Curt. 4, 4, 5 al.; cf.

also: clamor accidit ad aurīs,

Liv. 26, 40, 10; and absol.:

clamor accidit,

id. 4, 33, 9; 40, 32, 2;

likewise: nomen famaque alicujus accidit ad aliquem,

id. 21, 10, 12; v. Fabri ad h. l.—Hence sometimes in Livy: vox or fama accidit (ad aurīs or ad aliquem), with an acc. c. inf.:

ut vox etiam ad hostes accideret captum Cominium esse,

Liv. 10, 41, 7:

quia repente fama accidit classem Punicam adventare,

the report came, id. 27, 29, 7; v. Weissenb. a. h. l.

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):

res accidit,

Caes. B. G. 1, 14;

Id acciderat, ut Galli consilium caperent,

ib. 3, 2:

si quid adversi acciderit,

Cic. Ac. 2, 38, 121; cf. ib. 1, 26, 57:

nollem accidisset tempus, in quo, etc.,

id. Fam. 3, 10:

si qua calamitas accidisset,

id. Verr. 2, 3, 55: id. Rosc. Am. 34:

pejus Sequanis accidit,

ib. 1, 31:

ib. 7, 52. Also of fortunate occurrences:

omnia tibi accidisse gratissima,

Cic. Fam. 3, 1; 11, 15:

accidit satis opportune,

Caes. B. G. 4, 22; cf. Brem. Nep. Milt. 1, 1; Herz. Caes. B. G. 7, 3.—Constr. with ut (Zumpt, § 621), sometimes with quod:

accidit perincommode, quod eum nusquam vidisti,

Cic. Att. 1, 17; or with inf.:

nec enim acciderat mihi opus esse,

id. Fam. 6, 11. Pleonast. in narrations: accidit ut, it happened, or came to pass, that: accidit ut una nocte omnes Hermae dejicerentur, it happened that, etc., Nep. Alc. 3, 2; so Cic. Fam. 3, 8, 8; id. Att. 1, 5, 4 al.—

In part.

Si quid cui accidat, or si quid humanitus accidat, euphemist. for to die; if any thing should happen to one (for which Ennius says:

si quid me fuerit humanitus, Ann. v. 128 ed. Vahl.): si quid pupillo accidisset,

Cic. Inv. 2, 21; Caes. B. G. 1, 18;

si quid mihi humanitus accidisset,

Cic. Phil. 1, 4; Dig. 34, 4, 30 § 2 al. (cf. the Greek ei ti pathoi); so, per aposiopesin, sive—quod heu timeo, sive superstes eris, Ov. Her. 13, 164. (But Cic. Mil. 22, 58; Caes. B. G. 2, 35, and similar passages, are to be taken in the usual signif.)—

To turn out (this very rare):

timeo “incertum” hoc quorsum accidat,

Ter. And. 1, 5, 29:

si secus acciderit,

Cic. Fam. 6, 21, 2. —

In gram., to belong to:

Quint. 1, 5, 41 al.
