id. Brut. 6:
ferre aliquid,

quo aequiore animo Germanicus celerem successionem operiretur,
Suet. Tib. 25:

aequo animo esto,
be of good cheer, Vulg. 3 Reg. 21, 7:
aequo animo (aliquis) est? Psallat,
ib. Jacob. 5, 13.—Hence: aequi bonique facere aliquid, to regard as fair and reasonable (prop., a gen. of value, Roby, § 1191), to put up with, be content with, submit to, acquiesce in, etc.:
istuc aequi bonique facio,
Ter. Heaut. 4, 5, 40: tranquillissimus animus meus totum istuc aequi boni [p. 59] facit, Cic. Att. 7, 7; Liv. 34, 22 fin.:
aequi istuc faciam,
it will be all the same to me, Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 189.—So also:
aequi bonique dicere,
to propose any thing reasonable, Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 32.—Hence, aequē, adv., in like manner, equally, just as = ex aequo, pariter, Gr. isôs, omoiôs (indicating the entire equality of two objects compared, while similiter denotes only likeness):
eā (benevolentiā) non pariter omnes egemus... honore et gloriā fortasse non aeque omnes egent,
Cic. Off. 2, 8, 30:
non possum ego non aut proxime atque ille aut etiam aeque laborare,
id. Fam. 9, 13, 2:
universa aeque eveniunt justo et impio,
Vulg. Eccl. 9, 2.

Aeque—cum:
animum advorte, ut aeque mecum haec scias,
Plaut. As. 2, 2, 66, id. Poen. prol. 47: novi aeque omnia tecum, Ter Phorm. 5, 9, 43. But in Plaut. As. 4, 1, 26, tecum una postea aeque pocla potitet, una belongs with tecum to potitet, and aeque is put absol. (sc. ut tu).—

Aeque with comp. abl.:

Aeque—et or aeque— que (as in Gr. ison kai, isa kai, Soph. Oed. Tyr. 611;

(δ).
Aeque—atque, —ac, —ac si, as... as; as much as, as: vide ne, quem tu esse hebetem deputes aeque ac pecus, is, etc., Att. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 22, 45: pumex non aeque aridus atque hic est senex, Plaut Aul. 2, 4, 18; Ter. Phorm 1, 2, 43; Varr. R. R. 3, 8, 2:
nisi haberes, qui illis aeque ac tu ipse gauderet,
Cic. Lael. 6, 22:
sed me colit et observat aeque atque patronum suum,
id. Fam. 13, 69; 2, 2; so id. Brut. 71, 248; id. Rosc. Am. 40, 116; Cels. 6, 15; Tac. H. 4, 5; Suet. Caes. 12 al.: aeque ac si. with the subj., just as if. altogether as if:
Egnatii absentis rem ut tueare, aeque a te peto ac si mea negotia essent,
Cic. Fam. 13, 43, 3; Auct Her 2, 13, 19: quo factum est, ut jumenta aeque nitida ex castellis educeret ac si in campestribus ea locis habuisset, Nep Eum. 5. 6; Liv. 10, 7, 4; 44, 22, 5 al.—
(ε).
Aeque— quam (only in Plaut. and prose writers from the Aug. per.;
neither in Cic. nor in Cæs.),
as... as, in the same manner as, as well... as, like, Plaut. Mil. 2, 5, 55;

Plin. 2, 81, 83, § 196; so 2, 70, 72, § 180; Tac. A. 14, 38; id. H. 2, 10; 4, 52; Suet. Aug. 64, 89; id. Galb. 4 al.—
(ζ).
Aeque—ut, a rare combination, and unworthy of imitation (in authors of the class. per. its reception rests, for the most part, upon false readings for aeque et or aeque ac), as much as, like, cui nihil aeque in causis agendis ut brevitas placet, Plin. Ep. 1, 20, 1 Keil. accinctus aeque ut discinctus, Vulg. 3 Reg. 20, 11. Possidebitis eam (terram) singuli aeque ut frater suus, ib. Ezech. 47, 14:
idemque proficeret aeque ut rosaceum,

The comparison is often to be supplied from the whole sentence or context; hence, aeque stands absol. for aeque ac, etc. (ante-class. freq.; also in Cic. and Liv.), equally, as much as, as: eadem oratio non aeque valet, Enn. ap. Gell. 11, 4 (from Eurip. Hec. 295: logos... ou tauton sthenei):

Plaut. Pers. 4, 2, 4. imperium bonus ignavus aeque sibi exoptant, Sall. C. 11.—
5.
In Plaut. Capt. 3, 5, 42, nec est mihi quisquam, melius aeque cui velim, melius velle is, perhaps, to be taken together as a phrase, and the comp. considered as used in a restricted sense, as in melius est. Others consider the comp. as used for the simple positive; cf. adaeque.—

injurias gravius aequo habere,
to feel too deeply, Sall. C. 50:
potus largius aequo,
Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 215.—Hence, aequum est, it is reasonable, proper, right, etc.; constr. with acc. and inf., in good prose also with dat. pers. and ut, Rudd. II. p. 235, n. 21: nos quiescere aequom est, Enn. ap. Diom. p. 382 P. (Trag. v. 199 Vahl.):

cum de jure civili, cum de aequo et bono disputaretur,
Cic. Brut. 38:

id. Caecin. 23:
fit reus magis ex aequo bonoque quam ex jure gentium,
in accordance with justice and equity, Sall. J. 35.— Also without et:
illi dolum malum, illi fidem bonam, illi aequum bonum tradiderunt,
Cic. Top. 17.—So also, aequius melius, according to greater equily, Cic. Off. 3, 15; id. Top. 17.—
C.

esp. freq. with animus or mens: animus aequos optumum est aerumnae condimentum,

concedo et quod animus aequus est et quia necesse est,
Cic. Rosc. Am. 50:

id. Ep. 1, 17, 24;
and so, aequam memento rebus in arduis Servare mentem, etc.,
id. C. 2, 3, 1.—Esp. freq. in the adv. abl.: aequo (aequiore, aequissimo) animo, with even mind, with equanimity, patiently, calmly, quietly, with forbearance: ego, nisi Bibulus adniteretur de triumpho, aequo animo essem, nunc vero aischron siôpan, Cic. Att. 6, 8:
carere aequo animo aliquā re,
id. Brut. 6:
ferre aliquid,
Nep. Dion. 6, 7; Aur. Vict. Orig. 6, 3:
accipere,
Sall. C. 3, 2:
tolerare,

quo aequiore animo Germanicus celerem successionem operiretur,
Suet. Tib. 25:
testem se in judiciis interrogari aequissimo animo patiebatur,
id. Aug. 56.—In eccl. Lat. = bono animo:
aequo animo esto,
be of good cheer, Vulg. 3 Reg. 21, 7:
aequo animo (aliquis) est? Psallat,
ib. Jacob. 5, 13.—Hence: aequi bonique facere aliquid, to regard as fair and reasonable (prop., a gen. of value, Roby, § 1191), to put up with, be content with, submit to, acquiesce in, etc.:
istuc aequi bonique facio,
Ter. Heaut. 4, 5, 40: tranquillissimus animus meus totum istuc aequi boni [p. 59] facit, Cic. Att. 7, 7; Liv. 34, 22 fin.:
aequi istuc faciam,
it will be all the same to me, Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 189.—So also:
aequi bonique dicere,
to propose any thing reasonable, Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 32.—Hence, aequē, adv., in like manner, equally, just as = ex aequo, pariter, Gr. isôs, omoiôs (indicating the entire equality of two objects compared, while similiter denotes only likeness):
eā (benevolentiā) non pariter omnes egemus... honore et gloriā fortasse non aeque omnes egent,
Cic. Off. 2, 8, 30:
non possum ego non aut proxime atque ille aut etiam aeque laborare,
id. Fam. 9, 13, 2:
universa aeque eveniunt justo et impio,
Vulg. Eccl. 9, 2.
1.

(α).
Aeque—cum:
animum advorte, ut aeque mecum haec scias,
Plaut. As. 2, 2, 66, id. Poen. prol. 47: novi aeque omnia tecum, Ter Phorm. 5, 9, 43. But in Plaut. As. 4, 1, 26, tecum una postea aeque pocla potitet, una belongs with tecum to potitet, and aeque is put absol. (sc. ut tu).—
(β).
Aeque with comp. abl.:
nullus est hoc meticulosus aeque,
as this person, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 137:
qui me in terrā aeque fortunatus erit,

Hor. Ep. 1, 1, 26.—
(δ).
Aeque—atque, —ac, —ac si, as... as; as much as, as: vide ne, quem tu esse hebetem deputes aeque ac pecus, is, etc., Att. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 22, 45: pumex non aeque aridus atque hic est senex, Plaut Aul. 2, 4, 18; Ter. Phorm 1, 2, 43; Varr. R. R. 3, 8, 2:
nisi haberes, qui illis aeque ac tu ipse gauderet,

sed me colit et observat aeque atque patronum suum,
id. Fam. 13, 69; 2, 2; so id. Brut. 71, 248; id. Rosc. Am. 40, 116; Cels. 6, 15; Tac. H. 4, 5; Suet. Caes. 12 al.: aeque ac si. with the subj., just as if. altogether as if:
Egnatii absentis rem ut tueare, aeque a te peto ac si mea negotia essent,
Cic. Fam. 13, 43, 3; Auct Her 2, 13, 19: quo factum est, ut jumenta aeque nitida ex castellis educeret ac si in campestribus ea locis habuisset, Nep Eum. 5. 6; Liv. 10, 7, 4; 44, 22, 5 al.—
(ε).
Aeque— quam (only in Plaut. and prose writers from the Aug. per.;
neither in Cic. nor in Cæs.),
as... as, in the same manner as, as well... as, like, Plaut. Mil. 2, 5, 55;
nullum esse agrum aeque feracem quam hic est,
id. Epid. 2, 3, 1:
nihil aeque eos terruit quam robur et color imperatoris,
Liv. 28, 26, 14, 5, 6, 11; so 5, 3, 4; 31, 1, 3;

(ζ).
Aeque—ut, a rare combination, and unworthy of imitation (in authors of the class. per. its reception rests, for the most part, upon false readings for aeque et or aeque ac), as much as, like, cui nihil aeque in causis agendis ut brevitas placet, Plin. Ep. 1, 20, 1 Keil. accinctus aeque ut discinctus, Vulg. 3 Reg. 20, 11. Possidebitis eam (terram) singuli aeque ut frater suus, ib. Ezech. 47, 14:
idemque proficeret aeque ut rosaceum,

aeque discordiam praepositorum, aeque concordiam subjectis exitiosam,
Tac. Agr. 15.—
2.
The comparison is often to be supplied from the whole sentence or context; hence, aeque stands absol. for aeque ac, etc. (ante-class. freq.; also in Cic. and Liv.), equally, as much as, as: eadem oratio non aeque valet, Enn. ap. Gell. 11, 4 (from Eurip. Hec. 295: logos... ou tauton sthenei):

facilem in aequo campi victoriam fore,
Liv. 5, 38:
ut primum agmen aequo, ceteri per acclive jugum insurgerent,
Tac. Agr. 35:
in aequum digredi,
id. ib. 18:
in aequo obstare,
id. ib. 36; id. H. 4, 23.—Also, an eminence, if it rises without inequalities:
dum Romanae cohortes in aequum eniterentur,
up the slope, Tac. A. 2, 80.—As a level place is more favorable for military operations than an uneven one, aequus has the signif.,
B.
Favorable, convenient, advantageous (as its opp., iniquus, uneven, has that of unfavorable, etc.).
1.
Of place:
locum se aequum ad dimicandum dedisse,
Caes. B. C. 3, 73:
etsi non aequum locum videbat suis,
Nep. Milt. 5, 4:
non hic silvas nec paludes, sed aequis locis aequos deos,
Tac. A. 1, 68. —
2.
Of time: judicium aequiore tempore fieri oportere, more propitious, Cic. Corn. Fragm. ap. Ascon. p. 72:
et tempore et loco aequo,
Liv. 26, 3:

Suet. Caes. 35.—
3.
In gen., of persons or things (freq. and class.), favorable, kind, friendly, benevolent, etc.; constr. absol. with dat., or in and acc. (in poets in with abl.).

4.
aequus, i, m. subst., a friend:
ego ut me tibi amicissimum esse et aequi et iniqui intellegant, curabo,
both friends and enemies, Cic. Fam. 3, 6 fin.:
aequis iniquisque persuasum erat,
Liv. 5, 45.

That is equal to another in any quality, equal, like; and of things divided into two equal parts, a half:
aequo censu censeri,

ib. 2 Mach. 8, 30:
aequa dementia,

to come off with equal advantage, Sall. C. 39; so,
aequo Marte pugnare,
with equal success, Liv. 2, 6; Curt. 4, 15, 29; Flor. 4, 2, 48 al.:
urbs erat in summo nubibus aequa jugo,
Ov. P. 4, 7, 24:
aequum vulnus utrique tulit,
id. M. 9, 719 (cf. id. ib. 7, 803:

Ter. Eun. 1, 2, 12:
non tertiam portionem, verum aequam,
Plin. 3, 1, 1, § 5 al. —Hence the adverbial phrases,
1.
Ex aequo, in like manner, in an equal degree, equally ( = ex isou, Hdt., Dem.), Lucr. 1, 854:
dixit et ex aequo donis formaque probata, etc.,
Ov. H. 16, 87; 20, 123; id. Am. 1, 10, 33; id. A. A. 2, 682; id. M. 3, 145; 4, 62; Liv. 36, 37:

ut naturam oderint, quod infra deos sumus, quod non in aequo illis stetimus,
id. Ben. 2, 29: in aequo ponere aliquem alicui, to make equal, to put on an equality, to compare:

Morally.
1.
Of persons, fair, equitable, impartial in conduct toward others (diff. from justus, just; v. aequitas, II.); constr. absol., with dat.; more rarely with gen.:
praetor aequus et sapiens,
Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 65; 2, 5, 59:
aequissimus aestimator et judex,
id. Fin. 3, 2:
praebere se aequum alicui,
id. Fam. 2, 1:
absentium aequi, praesentibus mobiles,
benevolent toward, Tac. A. 6, 36.—
2.
Of things, fair, right, equitable, reasonable: ITA. SENATVS. AIQVOM. CENSVIT., S. C. de Bach. 1. 26: et aecum et rectum est, Pac. ap. Non. 261, 13 (Trag. Rel. p. 81 Rib.):

aequissimis legibus monere,
Aur. Vict. Caes. 9, 5:
aequae conditiones,
Vell. 2, 25; see Fischer, Gr. II. 611.—Hence,
3.
ae-quum, i, n. subst., what is fair, equitable, or just; fairness, equity, or justice, etc.: jus atque aequum, Enn. ap. Non. p. 399, 10 (Trag. v. 224 Vahl.):
utilitas justi prope mater et aequi,
Hor. S. 1, 3, 98:
aequi studium,
Aur. Vict. Caes. 24, 6.—Often with comparatives, more than is right, proper, reasonable:
lamentari amplius aequo,
Lucr. 3, 966:
injurias gravius aequo habere,
to feel too deeply, Sall. C. 50:
potus largius aequo,
Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 215.—Hence, aequum est, it is reasonable, proper, right, etc.; constr. with acc. and inf., in good prose also with dat. pers. and ut, Rudd. II. p. 235, n. 21: nos quiescere aequom est, Enn. ap. Diom. p. 382 P. (Trag. v. 199 Vahl.):
quae liberum scire aequom est adulescentem,
Ter. Eun. 3, 2, 25:

Lucr. 5, 1023:
non est aequum nos derelinquere verbum Dei,
Vulg. Act. 6, 2:
aequius est mori quam auctoritatem imperii foedare,
Aur. Vict. Epit. 12, 7:
ut peritis? Ut piscatorem aequomst (sc. perire), fame sitique speque,
Plaut. Rud. 2, 2, 7; so,
sicut aequum est homini de potestate deorum timide et pauca dicamus,
Cic. Imp. Pomp. 16, 47.—In Plaut., with abl.:
plus vidissem quam med atque illo aequom foret,
would be becoming in me and him, Plaut. Bacch. 3, 3, 84; id. Rud. prol. 47.—
4.
Aequum as subst. very freq. with bonum = aequitas, equitable conduct toward others, fairness, equity, etc.:
neque quidquam queo aequi bonique ab eo impetrare,
what is right and just, Plaut. Curc. 1, 1, 65:
cum de jure civili, cum de aequo et bono disputaretur,
Cic. Brut. 38:
ex aequo et bono, non ex callido versutoque jure rem judicari oportere,
id. Caecin. 23:
fit reus magis ex aequo bonoque quam ex jure gentium,
in accordance with justice and equity, Sall. J. 35.— Also without et:
illi dolum malum, illi fidem bonam, illi aequum bonum tradiderunt,
Cic. Top. 17.—So also, aequius melius, according to greater equily, Cic. Off. 3, 15; id. Top. 17.—
C.
Of a state of mind, even, unruffled, calm, composed, tranquil, patient, enduring (cf. aequitas, II. B.);
esp. freq. with animus or mens: animus aequos optumum est aerumnae condimentum,
Plaut. Rud. 2, 3, 71:
concedo et quod animus aequus est et quia necesse est,
Cic. Rosc. Am. 50:
quodadest memento Componere aequus,
Hor. C. 3, 29, 32:
tentantem majora, fere praesentibus aequum,
id. Ep. 1, 17, 24;
and so, aequam memento rebus in arduis Servare mentem, etc.,
id. C. 2, 3, 1.—Esp. freq. in the adv. abl.: aequo (aequiore, aequissimo) animo, with even mind, with equanimity, patiently, calmly, quietly, with forbearance: ego, nisi Bibulus adniteretur de triumpho, aequo animo essem, nunc vero aischron siôpan, Cic. Att. 6, 8:
carere aequo animo aliquā re,
id. Brut. 6:
ferre aliquid,
Nep. Dion. 6, 7; Aur. Vict. Orig. 6, 3:
accipere,
Sall. C. 3, 2:
tolerare,
id. J. 31:
quo aequiore animo Germanicus celerem successionem operiretur,
Suet. Tib. 25:
testem se in judiciis interrogari aequissimo animo patiebatur,
id. Aug. 56.—In eccl. Lat. = bono animo:
aequo animo esto,
be of good cheer, Vulg. 3 Reg. 21, 7:
aequo animo (aliquis) est? Psallat,
ib. Jacob. 5, 13.—Hence: aequi bonique facere aliquid, to regard as fair and reasonable (prop., a gen. of value, Roby, § 1191), to put up with, be content with, submit to, acquiesce in, etc.:
istuc aequi bonique facio,
Ter. Heaut. 4, 5, 40: tranquillissimus animus meus totum istuc aequi boni [p. 59] facit, Cic. Att. 7, 7; Liv. 34, 22 fin.:
aequi istuc faciam,
it will be all the same to me, Plaut. Mil. 3, 1, 189.—So also:
aequi bonique dicere,
to propose any thing reasonable, Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 32.—Hence, aequē, adv., in like manner, equally, just as = ex aequo, pariter, Gr. isôs, omoiôs (indicating the entire equality of two objects compared, while similiter denotes only likeness):
eā (benevolentiā) non pariter omnes egemus... honore et gloriā fortasse non aeque omnes egent,
Cic. Off. 2, 8, 30:
non possum ego non aut proxime atque ille aut etiam aeque laborare,
id. Fam. 9, 13, 2:
universa aeque eveniunt justo et impio,
Vulg. Eccl. 9, 2.
1.
In the comic poets with cum or the comp. abl. (cf. adaeque); in Cic. and good class. authors gen. with et, atque, ac, ac si; less class. with quam, ut, quam ut; in Petr. with tamquam.
(α).
Aeque—cum:
animum advorte, ut aeque mecum haec scias,
Plaut. As. 2, 2, 66, id. Poen. prol. 47: novi aeque omnia tecum, Ter Phorm. 5, 9, 43. But in Plaut. As. 4, 1, 26, tecum una postea aeque pocla potitet, una belongs with tecum to potitet, and aeque is put absol. (sc. ut tu).—
(β).
Aeque with comp. abl.:
nullus est hoc meticulosus aeque,
as this person, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 137:
qui me in terrā aeque fortunatus erit,
id. Curc. 1, 2, 51.—
(γ).
Aeque—et or aeque— que (as in Gr. ison kai, isa kai, Soph. Oed. Tyr. 611;
Thuc. 3, 14). nisi aeque amicos et nosmet ipsos diligamus,
equally as ourselves, Cic. Fin. 1, 20, 67. versūs aeque prima et media et extrema pars attenditur, id. de Or. 3, 50, 192; id. Rosc. Com. 1, 2; so id. Mur. 13, 28; id. Clu. 69, 195, id. Tusc. 2, 26, 62 al.:
quod Aeque neglectum pueris senibusque nocebit,
Hor. Ep. 1, 1, 26.—
(δ).
Aeque—atque, —ac, —ac si, as... as; as much as, as: vide ne, quem tu esse hebetem deputes aeque ac pecus, is, etc., Att. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 22, 45: pumex non aeque aridus atque hic est senex, Plaut Aul. 2, 4, 18; Ter. Phorm 1, 2, 43; Varr. R. R. 3, 8, 2:
nisi haberes, qui illis aeque ac tu ipse gauderet,
Cic. Lael. 6, 22:
sed me colit et observat aeque atque patronum suum,
id. Fam. 13, 69; 2, 2; so id. Brut. 71, 248; id. Rosc. Am. 40, 116; Cels. 6, 15; Tac. H. 4, 5; Suet. Caes. 12 al.: aeque ac si. with the subj., just as if. altogether as if:
Egnatii absentis rem ut tueare, aeque a te peto ac si mea negotia essent,
Cic. Fam. 13, 43, 3; Auct Her 2, 13, 19: quo factum est, ut jumenta aeque nitida ex castellis educeret ac si in campestribus ea locis habuisset, Nep Eum. 5. 6; Liv. 10, 7, 4; 44, 22, 5 al.—
(ε).
Aeque— quam (only in Plaut. and prose writers from the Aug. per.;
neither in Cic. nor in Cæs.),
as... as, in the same manner as, as well... as, like, Plaut. Mil. 2, 5, 55;
nullum esse agrum aeque feracem quam hic est,
id. Epid. 2, 3, 1:
nihil aeque eos terruit quam robur et color imperatoris,
Liv. 28, 26, 14, 5, 6, 11; so 5, 3, 4; 31, 1, 3;
in navibus posita aeque quam in aedificiis,
Plin. 2, 81, 83, § 196; so 2, 70, 72, § 180; Tac. A. 14, 38; id. H. 2, 10; 4, 52; Suet. Aug. 64, 89; id. Galb. 4 al.—
(ζ).
Aeque—ut, a rare combination, and unworthy of imitation (in authors of the class. per. its reception rests, for the most part, upon false readings for aeque et or aeque ac), as much as, like, cui nihil aeque in causis agendis ut brevitas placet, Plin. Ep. 1, 20, 1 Keil. accinctus aeque ut discinctus, Vulg. 3 Reg. 20, 11. Possidebitis eam (terram) singuli aeque ut frater suus, ib. Ezech. 47, 14:
idemque proficeret aeque ut rosaceum,
Plin. 23, 4, 45, § 89, where Jan reads proficeret quod rosaceum. —In Plaut. once aeque—quasi for the class. aeque ac. quem videam aeque esse maestum quasi dies si dicta sit, Plaut. As. 5, 1, 11 Fleck.—
(η).
Sometimes aeque—aeque, as well as, as much as. aeque pauperibus prodest, locupletibus aeque, Hor. Ep. 1, 1, 25:
aeque discordiam praepositorum, aeque concordiam subjectis exitiosam,
Tac. Agr. 15.—
2.
The comparison is often to be supplied from the whole sentence or context; hence, aeque stands absol. for aeque ac, etc. (ante-class. freq.; also in Cic. and Liv.), equally, as much as, as: eadem oratio non aeque valet, Enn. ap. Gell. 11, 4 (from Eurip. Hec. 295: logos... ou tauton sthenei):
satin habes, si feminarum nullast quam aeque diligam?
Plaut. Am. 1, 3, 11: Aetna mons non aeque altus, id. Mil. 4, 2, 73; 4, 7, 10; id. Most. 1, 3, 85, etc.; Ter. Phorm. 3, 3, 32; Cic. Fam. 4, 6, 1; so id. ib. 5, 21; id. Fin. 4, 33, 62:
aeque sons,
Liv. 29, 19, 2;
so 29, 19, 4 al.: aeque non est dubium,
it is as little doubtful, Plin. 2, 15, 13, § 68.—
3.
With omnes, uterque, and definite numerals, to indicate that a thing applies equally to all the objects designated, equally:
non omnia eadem aeque omnibus suavia esse scito,
Plaut. As. 3, 3, 51; Ter. Hec. 2, 1, 2; so Cic. Off. 2, 8, 31; id. Fin. 4, 27, 75 al.:
etsi utrique nostrum prope aeque gratae erant (litterae),
id. Fam. 13, 18; so id. Quint. 28, 86; Verg. G. 3, 118; Ov. Tr. 3, 8, 33; id. Fast. 1, 226:
aeque ambo pares,
Plaut. Men. 5, 9, 60:
duae trabes aeque longae,
Caes. B. C. 2, 10; Suet. Aug. 101. —
4.
Sometimes absol., with several substantives, alike, equally:
Tragici et comici Numquam aeque sunt meditati,
Plaut. Pers. 4, 2, 4. imperium bonus ignavus aeque sibi exoptant, Sall. C. 11.—
5.
In Plaut. Capt. 3, 5, 42, nec est mihi quisquam, melius aeque cui velim, melius velle is, perhaps, to be taken together as a phrase, and the comp. considered as used in a restricted sense, as in melius est. Others consider the comp. as used for the simple positive; cf. adaeque.—
B.
Justly, with equity:
mihi id aeque factum arbitror,
Plaut. Mil. 5, 22 dub. (Ritschl: jureque id factum arbitror).— Comp.: ferro quam fame aequius perituros, more willingly, Sall. H. Fragm.— Sup.:
aequissime jus dicere,
Aur. Vict. Epit. 11, 2:
judicas ut qui aequissime,
Sid. 15, Ep. 11.
► An old adverb.
form, aequĭter, also occurs: praeda per participes aequiter partita est, Liv. Andr. ap. Non. 512, 31; so Pac. ib., Att. ib., and Plaut. acc. to Prisc. 1010 P.

Lewis & Short latin dictionary > aequus
51 albus

albus, a, um, adj. [cf. Umbr. alfu and Sab. alpus = white; alphos = white rash; O. H. Germ. Elbiz = a swan; to this have been referred also Alba Longa, Albunea, Alpes from their snowy summits (Paul. ex Fest. p. 4 Müll.), Albion from its chalky cliffs, Alpheios, and Albis = Elbe], white (properly dead white, not shining; e. g. hair, complexion, garments, etc., opp. ater, black that is without lustre; while candidus denotes a glistening, dazzling white, opp. niger, shining black.—Hence, trop., albus and ater, a symbol of good or ill fortune; on the other hand, candidus and niger of moral worth or unworthiness; cf. Doed. Syn. III. 193 sq.—So Serv. ad Verg. G. 3, 82: aliud est candidum, i. e. quādam nitenti luce perfusum esse; aliud album, quod pallori constat esse vicinum; cf. Verg. E. 7, 38: Candidior cycnis, hederā formosior albā, with id. ib. 3, 39: diffusos hederā vestit pallente corymbos; but this distinction is freq. disregarded by the poets).
I.
Lit.
A.
In gen.:
barba,
Plaut. Bacch. 5, 1, 15:
corpus,
id. Capt. 3, 4, 115:
color albus praecipue decorus deo est, maxime in textili,
Cic. Leg. 2, 18, 45: albus calculus, the small white stone used in voting, as a sign of acceding to the opinion of any one, or of the acquittal of one who is under accusation (opp. ater calculus;
v. calculus).— Hence, trop.: alicui rei album calculum adicere,
to allow, approve of, authorize, Plin. Ep. 1, 2, 5.—In Enn. an epithet of the sun and moon: sol, Enn. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 48, 107 (Ann. v. 92 Vahl.): jubar Hyperionis, Enn. ap. Prisc. p. 658 P. (Ann. v. 547 ib.).—The following are examples of the opposition of albus and niger (instead of ater) as exceptions to the gen. rule; so always in Lucr. (who also uses albus and candidus or candens promiscuously), 2, 810; 822 sqq.; 731 sq.; 790; 767-771. Once in Cic.: quae alba sint, quae nigra dicere, Div. 2, 3; so Phaedr. 3, 15, 10; Ov. M. 2, 541; cf. with id. ib. 2, 534 and 535; also id. ib. 12, 403; 15, 46; id. H. 15, 37 al.:
albi et nigri velleris,
Vulg. Gen. 30, 35:
non potes unum capillum album facere aut nigrum,
ib. Matt. 5, 36.—
B.
Esp.
1.
Pale, from sickness, terror, care, and the like:
aquosus albo Corpore languor, of dropsical persons,
Hor. C. 2, 2, 15:
pallor,
id. Epod. 7, 15:
vivat et urbanis albus in officiis,
pale from the cares of his public office, Mart. 1, 56 fin. et saep. —
2.
Of clothing, white: alba decent Cererem;
vestes Cerealibus albas Sumite,
Ov. F. 4, 619:
vidit duos Angelos in albis,
Vulg. Joan. 20, 12; ib. Apoc. 3, 4.—Hence, poet. transf. to the person, clothed in white, Hor. S. 1, 2, 36: pedibus qui venerat albis, who had come with white feet, i. e. marked with chalk, as for sale, Juv. 1, 111 (cf. gypsatus and also Plin. 35, 17, 58, §§ 199-201; Mayor ad 1. 1.).—
3.
Prov. phrases.
a.
Dentibus albis deridere, to deride one by laughing so as to show the teeth, for to deride much, Plaut. Ep. 3, 3, 48 (cf. id. Capt. 3, 1, 26).—
b.
Albus an ater sit, nescio or non curo, I know not, care not whether he is white or black, i. e. he is entirely indifferent to me:
vide, quam te amārit is, qui albus aterve fueris ignorans, fratris filium praeteriit,
Cic. Phil. 2, 16:
unde illa scivit, ater an albus nascerer,
Phaedr. 3, 15, 10; Cat. 93, 2; cf. Quint. 11, 1, 38.—
c.
Albo rete aliquid oppugnare, to attack or seize upon something with a white net, i. e. in a delicate, skilful manner:
qui hic albo rete aliena oppugnant bona,
Plaut. Pers. 1, 2, 22 (so the passage seems to be more simply explained than acc. to the opinion of Gron.: qui albo (by the register of the prætor) tamquam rete, which omission of the tamquam is a Horatian, but not a Plautinian idiom). —
d.
Albā lineā aliquid signare, to make a white line upon a white ground, i. e. to make no distinction: et amabat omnes, nam ut discrimen non facit... signat linea alba, Lucil. ap. Non. 282, 28 (where the common editions have neque before signare, which gives the expression a directly opposite sense): albā, ut dicitur, lineā sine curā discriminis convertebant, Gell. praef. 11.—
* e.
Alba avis, a white sparrow, for something rare, uncommon, strange:
quasi avem albam videntur bene sentientem civem videre,
Cic. Fam. 7, 28 (quasi novum quiddam; proverbium ex eo natum, quia rarae aves albae, Manut. ad h. 1.).—
* f.
Filius albae gallinae, fortune's favorite child, Juv. 13, 141, prob. an allusion to the miracle that happened to Livia in regard to a white hen, v. Plin. 15, 30, 40; Suet. Galb. 1 (Ruperti ad h. 1, refers this expression to the unfruitfulness of a white hen, and conpares Col. R. R. 8, 2, 7).—
* g.
Equis albis praecurrere aliquem, to excel, surpass one, Hor. S. 1, 7, 8 (the figure being drawn from the white horses attached to a triumphal chariot; cf. Suet. Ner. 25; id. Dom. 2).—

a.. In distributive clauses: alter... alter, the one... the other (cf. alius, II. A.): ho heteros... ho heteros:

alteram ille amat sororem, ego alteram,
Plaut. Bacch. 4, 4, 68; id. Am. 1, 2, 19; 1, 2, 20; Ter. Ad. 1, 2, 50:

Caes. B. G. 7, 59 Herz.:
conjunxit alteram (cortinam) alteri,
Vulg. Exod. 36, 10; 36, 22; ib. Joan. 13, 14; ib. Rom. 12, 5.—

In same sense, unus... alter, one... the other, as in later Gr. heis men... heteros de: vitis insitio una est per ver, altera est cum uva floret;
ea optima est,
Cato, R. R. 41, 1: Phorm. Una injuria est tecum. Chrem. Lege agito ergo. Phorm. Altera est tecum, Ter. Phorm. 5, 8, 90: uni epistolae respondi;

c.
Sometimes a subst., or hic, ille, etc., stands in the place of the second alter:

(β).
the form changed:
dialecticam adjungunt et physicam, alteram quod habeat rationem.... Physicae quoque etc.,

Macr. Somn. Scip. 2:
qui noxii ambo, alter in alterum causam conferant,
Liv. 5, 11:
alteri alteros aliquantum attriverant,

id. 7, prooem. 4:
neutrum eorum contra alterum juvare,
Caes. B. C. 1, 1, 3:
ut neutra alteri officiat,
Quint. 1, 1, 3.—After two substt., the first alter generally refers to the first subst., and the second to the second:
Philippum rebus gestis superatum a filio, facilitate video superiorem fuisse. Itaque alter semper magnus, alter saepe turpissimus,
Cic. Off. 1, 26; cf. Plaut. Am. 1, 2, 21; Brem. ad Suet. Claud. 20.—Sometimes the order is reversed: contra nos (summa gratia et eloquentia) raciunt in hoc tempore;
quarum alteram (i. e. eloquentiam) vereor, alteram (i. e. gratiam) metuo,
Cic. Quinct. 1; so id. Off. 3, 18; 1, 12; cf. Spald. ad Quint. 9, 2, 6.—
2.
As a numeral = secundus, the second, the next, o heteros:
primo die, alter dies, tertius dies, deinde reliquis diebus etc.,
Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 7:
proximo, altero, tertio, reliquis consecutis diebus non intermittebas etc.,
id. Phil. 1, 13 Wernsd.:
quadriennio post alterum consulatum,
id. Sen. 9:
die altero,
Vulg. Jos. 10, 32: alteris Te mensis adhibet deum, i. e. at the dessert (= mensā secundā), Hor. C. 4, 5, 31.—So, alterā die, the next day, têi allêi hêmerai, têi heterai:
se alterā die ad conloquium venturum,
Caes. B. C. 3, 19; Vulg. Gen. 19, 34; ib. Matt. 27, 62:
die altero,
ib. Num. 11, 32; ib. Jos. 5, 11 al.—So in comparative sense:
alterā die quam a Brindisio solvit, in Macedoniam trajecit,
Liv. 31, 14; Suet. Vit. 3:
intermittere diem alterum quemque oportet,
every other day, Cels. 3, 23; 3, 13; 4, 12:
Olea non continuis annis, sed fere altero quoque fructum adfert,
Col. R. R. 5, 8.—With prepp.:
qui (Ptolemaeus) tum regnabat alter post Alexandream conditam,
next after, Cic. Off. 2, 23, 82; so, fortunate puer, tu nunc eris alter ab illo, the second or next after him, Verg. E. 5, 49:
alter ab undecimo jam tum me ceperat annus,
id. ib. 8, 39.—Hence,
b.

a second ten, Cato, R. R. 19, 2:
ad Brutum hos libros alteros quinque mittemus,
Cic. Tusc. 5, 41, 121:
basia mille, deinde centum, dein mille altera, dein secunda centum,
Cat. 5, 7.—So with the numeral understood: aurea mala decem misi;
cras altera (sc. decem) mittam,
a second ten, Verg. E. 3, 71.—Hence,
d.
Unus et alter, unus atque alter, unus alterque, the one and the other.
(α).
For two (as in Gr. heis kai heteros):
unus et alter dies intercesserat,
Cic. Clu. 26:

vide quam mihi persuaserim te me esse alterum,
Cic. Fam. 7, 5:
me alterum se fore dixit,
id. Att. 4, 1:
quoniam alterum me reliquissem,
id. Fam. 2, 15; Aus. praef. 2, 15.—
(δ).
Alter idem, a second self, like heteroi hautoi, Arist. Eth. M. 8, 12, 3 (on account of the singularity of the expression, introduced by tamquam):
amicus est tamquam alter idem,
Cic. Lael. 21, 82.—
3.
The one of two, either of two, without a more precise designation, for alteruter:
non uterque sed alter,

II.
Transf.
A.
Another of a class = alius (as opp. to one's self, to another); subst., another, a neighbor, a fellow-creature, ho pelas (so sometimes heteros, Xen. Cyr. 2, 3, 17); cf. Ochsn. Eclog. 90 and 458 (alter designates the similarity of two objects; alius a difference in the objects contrasted): SI. INIVRIAM. FAXIT. ALTERI., Fragm. XII. Tab. ap. Gell. 20, 1:
qui alterum incusat probri, eum ipsum se intueri oportet,
Plaut. Truc. 1, 2, 58; id. Am. prol. 84: mox dum alterius abligurias bona, quid censes dominis esse animi? Enn. ap. Don. ad Ter. Phorm. 2, 2, 25:
ut malis gaudeant atque ex incommodis Alterius sua ut comparent commoda,

id. S. 1, 1, 40; 1, 5, 33:
canis parturiens cum rogāsset alteram, ut etc.,
Phaedr. 1, 19:
nec patientem sessoris alterius (equum) primus ascendit,
Suet. Caes. 61; id. Tib. 58:
in quo judicas alterum, te ipsum condemnas,
Vulg. Rom. 2, 1:
nemo quod suum est quaerat, sed quod alterius,
ib. 1 Cor. 10, 24;
14, 17: sic in semet ipso tantum gloriam habebit et non in altero,
ib. Gal. 6, 4 al. —Hence, alter with a neg., or neg. question and comp., as an emphatic expression (mostly ante-class.; cf.
alius, II. H.): scelestiorem nullum illuxere alterum,
Plaut. Bacch. 2, 3, 22:
scelestiorem in terrā nullam esse alteram,
id. Cist. 4, 1, 8:
qui me alter audacior est homo?
id. Am. 1, 1, 1; id. Ep. 1, 1, 24.—
B.

alterius factionis principes,
the leaders of the opposite party, Nep. Pelop. 1, 4 (cf. id. ib. 1, 2:
adversariae factioni): studiosiorem partis alterius,
Suet. Tib. 11. —
C.
In gen., different:
quotiens te speculo videris alterum,
Hor. C. 4, 10, 6: abeuntes post carnem alteram (Gr. heteros, q. v. L. and S. III.), Vulg. Jud. 7.—
D.
In the lang. of augury, euphem. for infaustus, unfavorable, unpropitious, Fest. p. 6 (v. L. and S. Gr. Lex. s. v. heteros, III. 2.).
► The gen.
alterius commonly serves as gen. of alius instead of alīus, Cic. Fam. 15, 1, 1; id. Att. 1, 5, 1; 1, 20, 2; Caes. B. G. 1, 36, 1; Sall. C. 52, 8; Liv. 21, 13, 3; 22, 14, 4; 26, 8, 2; 28, 37, 6 al.; Col. 8, 17, 2; 11, 2, 87; 12, 22, 2; Sen. Ep. 72, 10; 102, 3; id. Ben. 4, 3, 1; id. Ot. Sap. 4, 1; id. Brev. Vit. 16, 2; id. Q.

alius inter cenandum solutus est, alterius continuata mors somno est,
Sen. Ep. 66, 39:
cum inventum sit ex veris (gemmis) generis alterius in aliud falsas traducere,

ăn, conj. [etym. very obscure; v. the various views adduced in Hand, I. p. 296, with which he seems dissatisfied; if it is connected with the Sanscr. anjas, = Germ. ander, = Engl. other, we may comp. the Engl. other and or with the Germ. oder, = or]. It introduces the second part of a disjunctive interrogation, or a phrase implying doubt, and thus unites in itself the signif. of aut and num or -ne, or, or whether (hence the clause with an is entirely parallel with that introduced by num, utrum, -ne, etc., while aut forms only a subdivision in the single disjunctive clause; utrum... aut—an... aut, whether... or, etc.; cf. Ochsn. Eclog. p. 150; v. also aut).
I.
In disjunctive interrogations.
A.
Direct.
a.
Introd. by utrum (in Engl. the introd. particle whether is now obsolete, and the interrogation is denoted simply by the order of the words):

vivat an mortuus sit, quis aut scit aut curat?
Cic. Phil. 13, 33; 3, 18; id. Sex. Rosc. 88; id. Red. in Sen. 14.—
C.
Sometimes the opinion of the speaker or the probability inclines to the second interrogative clause (cf. infra, II. E.). and this is made emphatic, as a corrective of the former, or rather, or on the contrary:
ea quae dixi ad corpusne refers? an est aliquid, quod te suā sponte delectet?
Cic. Fin. 2, 33, 107:
Cur sic agere voluistis? An ignoratis quod etc.,
Vulg. Gen. 44, 15.—Hence, in the comic poets, an potius:
cum animo depugnat suo, Utrum itane esse mavelit ut... An ita potius ut etc.,
Plaut. Trin. 2, 2, 31: id. Stich. 1, 2, 18; id. Trin. 2, 2, 25:
an id flagitium est, An potius hoc patri aequomst fieri, ut a me ludatur dolis?
Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 94.—

The first part of the interrogation is freq. not expressed, but is to be supplied from the context; in this case, an begins the interrog., or, or rather, or indeed, or perhaps (but it does not begin an absolute, i. e. not disjunctive, interrog.): De. Credam ego istuc, si esse te hilarem videro. Ar. An tu esse me tristem putas? (where nonne me hilarem esse vides? is implied), Plaut. As. 5, 1, 10: Ch. Sed Thaïs multon ante venit? Py. An abiit jam a milite? Ter. Eun. 4, 5, 7:
An ego Ulixem obliscar umquam?
Att. Trag. Rel. p. 199 Rib.:
An parum vobis est quod peccatis?
Vulg. Josh. 22, 17:
est igitur aliquid, quod perturbata mens melius possit facere quam constans? an quisquam potest sine perturbatione mentis irasci?
Cic. Tusc. 4, 24, 54; cf. id. Clu. 22; id. Off. 3, 29: Debes hoc etiam rescribere, sit tibi curae Quantae conveniat Munatius; an male sarta Gratia nequiquam coit...? or is perhaps, etc., Hor. Ep. 1, 3, 31 K. and H. —So esp. in Cic., in order to make the truth of an assertion more certain, by an argumentum a minore ad majus:
cur (philosophus) pecuniam magno opere desideret vel potius curet omnino? an Scythes Anacharsis potuit pro nihilo pecuniam ducere, nostrates philosophi non potuerunt?
Cic. Tusc. 5, 32, 89 sq.:
An vero P. Scipio T. Gracchum privatus interfecit, Catilinam vero nos consules perferemus?
id. Cat. 1, 1; so id. Rab. Perd. 5; id. Phil. 14, 5, 12 Muret.; id. Fin. 1, 2, 5, ubi v. Madv.—It sometimes introduces a question suggested by the words of another: He. Mane. Non dum audisti, Demea, Quod est gravissimum? De. An quid est etiam anplius? Is there then etc., Ter. Ad. 3, 4, 21:
sed ad haec, nisi molestum est, habeo quae velim. An me, inquam, nisi te audire vellem censes haec dicturum fuisse?
Cic. Fin. 1, 8, 28; 2, 22, 74; id. Tusc. 5, 26, 73; 5, 12, 35; id. Brut. 184; id. Fat. 2, 4; v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. 1, 8, 28.—It sometimes anticipates an answer to something going before: At vero si ad vitem sensus accesserit, ut appetitum quendam habeat et per se ipsa moveatur, quid facturam putas? An ea, quae per vinitorem antea consequebatur, per se ipsa curabit? shall we not say that, must we not think that etc., Cic. Fin. 5, 14, 38, ubi v. Madv.—
E.
An non. and in one word, annon (in direct questions more freq. than necne):

Tibi ego dico an non?
id. ib. 4, 4, 23:
utrum sit an non voltis?
Plaut. Am. prol. 56:

Cic. Rosc. Com. 3 al. —Also in indirect questions = necne, q. v.:

Vulg. Gen. 18, 21; 24, 21.—

b.
In indirect questions:
nec. aequom anne iniquom imperet, cogitabit,

Quid enim interest, divitias, opes, valetudinem bona dicas anne praeposita, cum etc.,
id. Fin. 4, 9, 23 Madv.; August. ap. Suet. Aug. 69 al. (for the omission of the second disjunctive clause or the particle necne representing it, v. utrum;
instances of this usage in eccl. Lat. are,
Vulg. Lev. 13, 36; 14, 36; ib. Num. 11, 23 al.).—
II.
In disjunctive clauses that express doubt, or.
A.
Utrum stultitiā facere ego hunc an malitiā Dicam, scientem an imprudentem, incertus sum. Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 54:
ut nescias, utrum res oratione an verba sententiis illustrentur,
Cic. de Or. 2, 13, 56:
honestumne factu sit an turpe, dubitant,
id. Off. 1, 3, 9:
nescio, gratulerne tibi an timeam,
id. Fam. 2, 5; Caes. B. G. 7, 5:

Sall. C. 25, 3; so id. ib. 52, 10; Suet. Aug. 19; id. Tib. 10; id. Claud. 15:
cognoscet de doctrinā, utrum ex Deo sit an ego a me ipso loquar,
Vulg. Joan. 7, 17; ib. Eccl. 2, 19 al.—
B.
An sometimes denotes uncertainty by itself, without a verb of doubting (dubito, dubium or incertum est, etc., vet in such cases the editors are divided between an and aut; cf. Mos. and Orell. ad Cic. Rep. 1, 12): verene hoc memoriae proditum est [p. 115] regem istum Numam Pythagorae ipsius discipulum, an certe Pythagoreum fuisse? Cic. Rep. 2, 15, where B. and K. read aut certe: Cn. Octavius est an Cn. Cornelius quidam tuus familiaris, summo genere natus, terrae filius;
is etc.,
id. Fam. 7, 9 B. and K.:
Themistocles quidem, cum ei Simonides an quis alius artem memoriae polliceretur, Oblivionis, inquit, mallem,
Simonides or some other person, id. Fin. 2, 32, 104; id. Fam. 7, 9, 3; id. Att. 1, 3, 2; 2, 7, 3; v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. 2, 32, 104.—
C.
It often stands for sive (so esp. in and after the Aug. per.):
quod sit an non, nihil commovet analogiam,
whether this be so or not, Varr. L. L. 9, § 105 Müll.; Att. ap. Prisc. p. 677 P.; Ov. R. Am. 797:
saucius an sanus, numquid tua signa reliqui,
id. F. 4, 7:
Illa mihi referet, si nostri mutua curast, An minor, an toto pectore deciderim,
Tib. 3, 1, 20; Tac. A. 11, 26:
sive nullam opem praevidebat inermis atque exul, seu taedio ambiguae spei an amore conjugis et liberorum,
id. ib. 14, 59.—
D.
The first disjunctive clause is freq. to be supplied from the gen. idea or an may stand for utrum—necne (cf. supra, I. D.):
qui scis, an, quae jubeam, sine vi faciat? (vine coactus is to be supplied),
how knowest thou whether or not he will do it without compulsion? Ter. Eun. 4, 7, 20:
An dolo malo factum sit, ambigitur,
Cic. Tull. 23:
quaesivi an misisset (periplasmata),
id. Verr. 4, 27:
Vide an facile fieri tu potueris, cum etc.,
id. Fragm. B. 13, 2, 1:
praebete aurem et videte an mentiar,
Vulg. Job, 6, 28: de L. Bruto fortasse dubitaverim an propter infinitum odium tyranni effrenatius in Aruntem invaserit, I might doubt whether or not, etc., Cic. Tusc. 4, 22, 50; id. Verr. 3, 76:
Quis scit an adiciant hodiernae crastina summae Tempora di superi?
Hor. C. 4, 7, 17; Plin. Ep. 6, 21, 3; Quint. 2, 17, 38:
Sine videamus an veniat Elias,
Vulg. Matt. 27, 49:
tria sine dubio rursus spectanda sunt, an sit, quid sit, quale sit,
Quint. 5, 10, 53:
dubium an quaesitā morte,
Tac. A. 1, 5; 6, 50; 4, 74:
Multitudo an vindicatura Bessum fuerit, incertum est,
Curt. 7, 5:
diu Lacedaemonii, an eum summae rei praeponerent, deliberaverunt,
Just. 6, 2, 4 et saep.—
E.
Since in such distrib. sentences expressive of doubt, the opinion of the speaker or the probability usually inclines to the second, i. e. to the clause beginning with an, the expressions haud scio an, nescio an, dubito an (the latter through all pers. and tenses), incline to an affirmative signification, I almost know, I am inclined to think, I almost think, I might say, I might assert that, etc., for perhaps, probably (hence the opinion is incorrect that an, in this situation, stands for an non; for by an non a negation of the objective clause is expressed, e. g. nescio an non beatus sit, I am almost of the opinion that he is not happy, v. infra, and cf. Beier ad Cic. Off. 1, Exc. XI. p. 335 sq.; Cic. uses haud scio an eleven times in his Orations;
nescio an, four times): atque haud scio an, quae dixit sint vera omnia,
Ter. And. 3, 2, 45:
crudele gladiatorum spectaculum et inhumanum non nullis videri solet: et haud scio an ita sit, ut nunc fit,
Cic. Tusc. 2, 17, 41; id. Fl. 26:
testem non mediocrem, sed haud scio an gravissimum,
perhaps, id. Off. 3, 29:
constantiam dico? nescio an melius patientiam possim dicere,
id. Lig. 9; id. Fam. 9, 19:
ingens eo die res, ac nescio an maxima illo bello gesta sit,
Liv. 23, 16; Quint. 12, 11, 7 al.:
si per se virtus sine fortunā ponderanda sit, dubito an Thrasybulum primum omuium ponam,
I am not certain whether I should not prefer Thrasybulus to all others, Nep. Thras. 1 Dähne:
dicitur acinace stricto Darius dubitāsse an fugae dedecus honestā morte vitaret,
i. e. was almost resolved upon, Curt. 4, 5, 30:
ego dubito an id improprium potius appellem,
Quint. 1, 5, 46; Gell. 1, 3 al.—Hence, a neg. objective clause must contain in this connection the words non, nemo, nullus, nihil, numquam, nusquam, etc.:
dubitet an turpe non sit,
he is inclined to believe that it is not bad, Cic. Off. 3, 12, 50:
haud scio an ne opus quidem sit, nihil umquam deesse amicis,
id. Am. 14, 51:
eloquentiā quidem nescio an habuisset parem neminem,
id. Brut. 33: quod cum omnibus est faciendum tum haud scio an nemini potius quam tibi, to no one perhaps more, id. Off. 3, 2, 6:
meā sententiā haud scio an nulla beatior esse possit,
id. Sen. 16; id. Leg. 1, 21:
non saepe atque haud scio an numquam,
id. Or. 2, 7 al. —
F.
Sometimes the distributive clause beginning with an designates directly the opposite, the more improbable, the negative; in which case nescio an, haud scio an, etc., like the Engl. I know not whether, signify I think that not, I believe that not, etc.; hence, in the object. clause, aliquis, quisquam, ullus, etc., must stand instead of nemo, nullus, etc. (so for the most part only after Cic.): an profecturus sim, nescio, I know not (i. e. I doubt, I am not confident) whether I shall effect any thing, Sen. Ep. 25:
opus nescio an superabile, magnum certe tractemus,
id. Q. N. 3, praef. 4; Caecil. ap. Cic. Fam. 6, 7, 6: haud scio an vivere nobis liceret, I know not whether we, etc., Cic. Har. Resp. 11, 22: doleo enim maximam feminam eripi oculis civitatis, nescio an aliquid simile visuris, for I know not whether they will ever see any thing of this kind, Plin. Ep. 7, 19; Val. Max. 5, 2, 9:
nescio an ullum tempus jucundius exegerim,
I do not know whether I have ever passed time more pleasantly, id. 3, 1:
namque huic uni contigit, quod nescio an ulli,
Nep. Timol. 1, 1; Sen. Contr. 3 praef.; Quint. 9, 4, 1:
nostri quoque soloecum, soloecismum nescio an umquam dixerint,
Gell. 5, 20 al. Cf. upon this word Hand, Turs. I. pp. 296-361, and Beier, Exc. ad Cic. Am. pp. 202-238.
2.
an-, v. ambi.
3.
- ăn. This word appears in forsan, forsitan, and fortasse an (Att. Trag. Rel. p. 151 Rib.) or fortassan, seeming to enhance the idea of uncertainty and doubt belonging to fors, etc., and is regarded by some as the Greek conditional particle an, and indeed one of these compounds, forsitan, sometimes in the Vulgate, translates an; as, Joan. 4, 10; 5, 46; 8, 19; and in 3, Joan. 9, it still represents the various reading, an.

Pall. Insit. 67) [etym. dub.; Doed. foll. by Hinter connects it with aspairô, to struggle, to resist; Corssen, Ausspr. II. p. 593, regards asper (i. e. ab spe) as the proper opposite of prosper (i. e. pro spe); thus asper originally meant hopeless, desperate; v. also id. ib. II. p. 870; cf. the use of res asperae as the opposite of res prosperae]; as affecting the sense of touch, rough, uneven (opp. lēvis or lenis; syn.: scaber, acutus, insuavis, acerbus, amarus, mordax, durus).
