    a.
    Absol.:

    ad quem paratus venerat, cum in villā Metelli compluris dies commentatus esset,

    Cic. Fam. 12, 2, 1: itaque videas barbato rostro eum commentari, Varr. ap. Non. p. 455, 19:

    With acc.:

    ut quae secum commentatus esset, ea sine scripto redderet eisdem verbis quibus cogitasset,

    Cic. Brut. 88, 301:

    Of writings, to prepare, produce as the result of study, write (rare):

    Cic. Phil. 6, 13:

    eo ipso anno cum commentaremur haec,

    Plin. 18, 25, 57, § 209: Cato de militari disciplinā commentans, id. praef. § 30.— With acc., to discuss, write upon:

    Of the oratorical student's practice in speaking (always with reference to the mental exertion and preparation; cf. Jan. ad Cic. Brut. 22, 87):

    commentabar declamitans, sic enim nunc loquuntur, saepe cum M. Pisone,

    Cic. Brut. 90, 310:

    exisse eo colore et eis oculis, ut egisse causam, non commentatum putares,

    id. ib. 22, 87 fin.:

    magister hic Samnitium summā jam senectute est et cottidie commentatur,

    id. de Or. 3, 23, 86 Sorof ad loc.—
    B.
    Hence, as a modest expression for a speaker's effort, to experiment in speaking, attempt to speak:

    Cic. Fin. 5, 25, 75 Orell. and Madv. ad loc.—
