aestīvus, a, um, adj. [aestas], of or pertaining to summer, summer-like, summer (freq. and class.):

Quo pacto aestivis e partibus Aegocerotis Brumalīs adeat flexus,

turns from the hot region of heaven to the wintry sign of Capricorn, Lucr. 5, 615; so id. 5, 639:

aestivos menses rei militari dare, hibernos juris dictioni,

Cic. Att. 5, 14:

through woods, where flocks were driven for summer pasture, Liv. 22, 14:

aves,

summer birds, id. 5, 6:

animalia,

the insects of summer, Plin. 9, 47, 71, § 154:

expeditiones,

which were undertaken in summer, Vell. 2, 114: castra, a summer camp (constructed differently from a winter camp), Suet. Claud. 1.—Hence,

Subst.: aestīva, ōrum, n.

For a summer camp, ta therina:

dum in aestivis essemus,

Cic. Att. 5, 17; id. Fam. 2, 13: aestiva praetoris, of a pleasure-camp, pleasurehouse, Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 37.—

The time appropriate for a campaign (cf. aestas; often continuing until December; v. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 2, 7);

hence,

a campaign, Cic. Pis. 40: aestivis confectis, after the campaign was ended (which did not take place until the Saturnalia, XIV. Kal. Januar.), id. Fam. 3, 9 fin.:

perducere aestiva in mensem Decembrem,

Vell. 2, 105.—

Summer pastures for cattle:

per montium aestiva,

Plin. 24, 6, 19, § 28.— Meton. for the cattle themselves:

Nec singula morbi Corpora corripiunt, sed tota aestiva,

Verg. G. 3, 472.— Hence, * adv.: aestīvē, in a summer-like manner, as in summer: admodum aestive viaticati sumus, we are furnished in a very summer-like manner with money for our journey, i. e. we have but little (the figure taken from the light dress of summer;

or, acc. to others, from the scanty provisions which soldiers took with them in summer),

Plaut. Men. 2, 1, 30.

amplus, a, um, adj. [some regard this as a shortened form of anapleôs, = filled up, full; others, as for ambulus from amb-, rounded out, as superus from super, etc.; v. Doed. Syn. II. p. 113; but perh. it is better to form it from am- and -plus, akin to -pleo, plenus, q. v. Pott], thus pr., full all round; hence, great, large. —In space, of large extent, great, large, wide, ample, spacious (the forms amplus and amplior are very rare in the ante-class. per., and rare in all periods. Amplius is com. in the ante-class., freq. in the class., and very freq. in the post-class. per., the Vulg. rarely using the other forms, but using this 121 times. Amplissimus belongs to prose, and is scarcely used before Cicero, with whom it was a very favorite word. It was also used by Plin. Maj. and Min., but never by Tac., Sall. (in his genuine works), nor the Vulg. Catullus used only the form amplius, and Prop. only amplus, while Tib. and Pers. never used this word in any form. Ampliter is found mostly in Plaut.; and ample and amplissime are used a few times by Cic. and by writers that followed him; syn.: magnus, ingens, latus, late patens, spatiosus, laxus).

hoc amplius si quid poteris,

any thing beyond this, Cic. de Or. 1, 10, 44: et hoc amplius (additur), quod etc., and this further, that etc., id. Sull. 44; so Quint. 5, 13, 36:

nihil amplius dico, nisi me etc.,

id. Planc. 96:

nihil amplius dicam quam victoriam etc.,

id. Marcell. 17.—Hence, nihil dico or dicam amplius, when one fears to wound by declaring his opinion, etc., I say no more, have nothing further to say or add:

vetus est, Nihili cocio est. Scis cujus? non dico amplius,

Plaut. As. 1, 3, 51:

si, quod equitis Romani filius est, inferior esse debuit: omnes tecum equitum Romanorum filii petiverunt. Nihil dico amplius,

Caes. B. G. 3, 5; 4, 37:

Liv. 27, 12:

Amplius, t. t. of judges when they deferred an important case for future examination:

Amplius adeo prolixum temporis spatium significat, ut judices quotienscunque significarent, adhuc se audire velle, amplius dicebant. Itaque negotium differebant, unde hodieque ampliari judicium differri dicitur,

Charis. 176 P.; so Don. ad Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 39; cf.

also amplio and ampliatio: cum consules re audita amplius de consilii sententia pronuntiavissent,

Cic. Brut. 22, 86:

antea vel judicari primo poterat vel amplius pronuntiari,

id. Verr. 2, 1, 26:

ut de Philodamo amplius pronuntiaretur,

id. ib. 2, 1, 29.—

And metaph.: ego amplius deliberandum censeo,

Ter. Phorm. 2, 4, 17.—

Amplius non petere, judicial t. phr., to bring no further action, to make no further claim:

quid ita satis non dedit, AMPLIVS [A SE] NEMINEM PETITVRVM?

Cic. Rosc. Com. 12, 35:

Tibi ego, Brute, non solvam, nisi prius a te cavero amplius eo nomine neminem, cujus petitio sit, petiturum,

id. Brut. 5, 18:

sunt duo, quae te rogo: primum, ut si quid satis dandum erit, AMPLIVS EO NOMINE NON PETI, cures etc.,

id. Fam. 13, 28 A:

quod ille recusarit satis dare amplius abs te non peti,

id. Att. 1, 8, 1.—

Hoc amplius, beside the general use given above (II. Comp. b. a), as t. phr. of senators when they approved a measure, but amended it by addition:

Servilio adsentior et HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO, magnum Pompeium fecisse etc.,

Cic. Phil. 12, 21, 50:

cui cum essem adsensus, decrevi HOC AMPLIVS, ut etc.,

id. ad Brut. 1, 5, 1;

so Seneca: fortasse et post omnes citatus nihil improbabo ex iis, quae priores decreverint, et dicam HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO, Vit. Beat. 3, 2: Quaedam ex istis sunt, quibus adsentire possumus, sed HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO,

id. Q. N. 3, 15, 1.—

To this may be added the elliptical phrases, nihil amplius and si nihil amplius:

nihil amplius, denoting that there is nothing further than has been declared: sese ipsum abs te repetit. Nihil amplius,

Cic. Verr. 5, 49, 128;

(res publica) ulta suas injurias est per vos interitu tyranni. Nihil amplius,

id. Fam. 12, 1, 2; and, si nihil amplius, marking a limit, if nothing more, at least:

excedam tectis? An, si nihil amplius, obstem?

Ov. M. 9, 148.

word more, which is sometimes an adj., sometimes a subst., and sometimes an adv., and some of the above examples would admit of different classifications; as, non amplius dicere, not to speak further (adv.) or not to say more (subst.), Plaut. As. 1, 3, 51; but some of them would admit of only one explanation;

as, ne quos amplius Rhenum transire pateretur,

Caes. B. G. 1, 43. Sup.: amplissimē.

Lit., very largely, most abundantly:

ut quibus militibus amplissime (agri) dati adsignati essent,

in the largest shares, Cic. Phil. 5, 53:

duumviri (deos) tribus quam amplissume tum apparari poterat stratis lectis placavere,

Liv. 5, 13, 6 Weissenb.—

Fig., most generously, most handsomely:

qui amplissime de salute mea decreverint,

Cic. Dom. 44:

amplissime laudare,

in the handsomest style, Plin. 18, 3, 3, § 11; Suet. Calig. 15:

honores amplissime gessit,

Cic. Verr. 2, 112:

pater cum amplissime ex praetura triumphasset,

with the greatest pomp, id. Mur. 15:

placere eum quam amplissime supremo suo die efferri,

should be carried forth with every possible solemnity, id. Phil. 9, 7, 16. V. on this word, Hand, Turs. I. pp. 287-296.

amplus, a, um, adj. [some regard this as a shortened form of anapleôs, = filled up, full; others, as for ambulus from amb-, rounded out, as superus from super, etc.; v. Doed. Syn. II. p. 113; but perh. it is better to form it from am- and -plus, akin to -pleo, plenus, q. v. Pott], thus pr., full all round; hence, great, large. —In space, of large extent, great, large, wide, ample, spacious (the forms amplus and amplior are very rare in the ante-class. per., and rare in all periods. Amplius is com. in the ante-class., freq. in the class., and very freq. in the post-class. per., the Vulg. rarely using the other forms, but using this 121 times. Amplissimus belongs to prose, and is scarcely used before Cicero, with whom it was a very favorite word. It was also used by Plin. Maj. and Min., but never by Tac., Sall. (in his genuine works), nor the Vulg. Catullus used only the form amplius, and Prop. only amplus, while Tib. and Pers. never used this word in any form. Ampliter is found mostly in Plaut.; and ample and amplissime are used a few times by Cic. and by writers that followed him; syn.: magnus, ingens, latus, late patens, spatiosus, laxus).

Liv. 21, 29, 3: non amplius quattuordecim cohortes, Pompei. ap. Cic. Att. 8, 12, C:

ex omni multitudine non amplius quadraginta locum cepere,

Sall. J. 58, 3: torrentes amplius centum, [p. 113] Plin. 5, 28, 29, § 103; 9, 5, 4, § 10.—And very rarely placed after the numeral:

qui septingentos jam annos amplius numquam mutatis legibus vivunt,

Cic. Fl. 63:

pugnatum duas amplius horas,

Liv. 25, 19, 15 Weissenb.:

duo haud amplius milia peditum effugerunt,

id. 28, 2:

decem amplius versus perdidimus,

Plin. Ep. 3, 5, 12:

tris pateat caeli spatium non amplius ulnas,

Verg. E. 3, 105.—

With the comp. abl. (rare but class.):

cum jam amplius horis sex continenter pugnaretur,

Caes. B. G. 3, 5; 4, 37:

pugnatum amplius duabus horis est,

Liv. 27, 12:

neque triennio amplius supervixit,

Suet. Caes. 89:

uti non amplius quinis aut senis milibus passuum interesset,

Caes. B. G. 1, 15; 1, 23; 2, 7;

6, 29: non amplius patet milibus quinque et triginta,

Sall. Fragm. Hist. 4, 1, 34 Kritz:

est ab capite paulo amplius mille passibus locus,

Plin. Ep. 10, 90, 1:

ab Capsa non amplius duum milium intervallo,

Sall. J. 91, 3:

(Catilina) cum initio non amplius duobus milibus (militum) habuisset,

id. C. 56, 2; so,

denas alii, alii plures (uxores) habent, set reges eo amplius,

id. J. 80, 7.—

And prob. the following ambiguous cases: cum mille non amplius equitibus,

Sall. J. 105, 3:

oppidum non amplius mille passuum abesse,

id. ib. 68, 3.—

With quam (postAug. and eccl.):

non amplius, cum plurimum, quam septem horas dormiebat,

Suet. Aug. 78:

nec amplius quam septem et viginti dies Brundisii commoratus,

id. ib. 17:

Toto triennio semel omnino eam nec amplius quam uno die paucissimis vidit horis,

id. Tib. 51:

haud amplius quam ducentos misit,

id. ib. 14, 32:

insidiantur ei ex iis viri amplius quam quadraginta,

Vulg. Act. 23, 21.—

Amplius, t. t. of judges when they deferred an important case for future examination:

Amplius adeo prolixum temporis spatium significat, ut judices quotienscunque significarent, adhuc se audire velle, amplius dicebant. Itaque negotium differebant, unde hodieque ampliari judicium differri dicitur,

Charis. 176 P.; so Don. ad Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 39; cf.

also amplio and ampliatio: cum consules re audita amplius de consilii sententia pronuntiavissent,

Cic. Brut. 22, 86:

antea vel judicari primo poterat vel amplius pronuntiari,

id. Verr. 2, 1, 26:

ut de Philodamo amplius pronuntiaretur,

id. ib. 2, 1, 29.—

And metaph.: ego amplius deliberandum censeo,

Ter. Phorm. 2, 4, 17.—

Amplius non petere, judicial t. phr., to bring no further action, to make no further claim:

quid ita satis non dedit, AMPLIVS [A SE] NEMINEM PETITVRVM?

Cic. Rosc. Com. 12, 35:

Tibi ego, Brute, non solvam, nisi prius a te cavero amplius eo nomine neminem, cujus petitio sit, petiturum,

id. Brut. 5, 18:

sunt duo, quae te rogo: primum, ut si quid satis dandum erit, AMPLIVS EO NOMINE NON PETI, cures etc.,

id. Fam. 13, 28 A:

quod ille recusarit satis dare amplius abs te non peti,

id. Att. 1, 8, 1.—

Hoc amplius, beside the general use given above (II. Comp. b. a), as t. phr. of senators when they approved a measure, but amended it by addition:

Servilio adsentior et HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO, magnum Pompeium fecisse etc.,

Cic. Phil. 12, 21, 50:

cui cum essem adsensus, decrevi HOC AMPLIVS, ut etc.,

id. ad Brut. 1, 5, 1;

so Seneca: fortasse et post omnes citatus nihil improbabo ex iis, quae priores decreverint, et dicam HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO, Vit. Beat. 3, 2: Quaedam ex istis sunt, quibus adsentire possumus, sed HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO,

id. Q. N. 3, 15, 1.—

To this may be added the elliptical phrases, nihil amplius and si nihil amplius:

nihil amplius, denoting that there is nothing further than has been declared: sese ipsum abs te repetit. Nihil amplius,

Cic. Verr. 5, 49, 128;

(res publica) ulta suas injurias est per vos interitu tyranni. Nihil amplius,

id. Fam. 12, 1, 2; and, si nihil amplius, marking a limit, if nothing more, at least:

excedam tectis? An, si nihil amplius, obstem?

Ov. M. 9, 148.

word more, which is sometimes an adj., sometimes a subst., and sometimes an adv., and some of the above examples would admit of different classifications; as, non amplius dicere, not to speak further (adv.) or not to say more (subst.), Plaut. As. 1, 3, 51; but some of them would admit of only one explanation;

as, ne quos amplius Rhenum transire pateretur,

Caes. B. G. 1, 43. Sup.: amplissimē.

Lit., very largely, most abundantly:

ut quibus militibus amplissime (agri) dati adsignati essent,

in the largest shares, Cic. Phil. 5, 53:

duumviri (deos) tribus quam amplissume tum apparari poterat stratis lectis placavere,

Liv. 5, 13, 6 Weissenb.—

Fig., most generously, most handsomely:

qui amplissime de salute mea decreverint,

Cic. Dom. 44:

amplissime laudare,

in the handsomest style, Plin. 18, 3, 3, § 11; Suet. Calig. 15:

honores amplissime gessit,

Cic. Verr. 2, 112:

pater cum amplissime ex praetura triumphasset,

with the greatest pomp, id. Mur. 15:

placere eum quam amplissime supremo suo die efferri,

should be carried forth with every possible solemnity, id. Phil. 9, 7, 16. V. on this word, Hand, Turs. I. pp. 287-296.

confĭtĕor, fessus, 2 (arch. inf. confiterier, Plaut. Cist. 1, 3, 22), v. dep. [fateor], to acknowledge, confess, own, avow (an error, mistake, or a fact previously denied or doubted, etc., implying a sacrifice of will or a change of conviction; while fateor expresses a simple acknowledgment, and profiteor a voluntary avowal), to concede, allow, grant (class. in prose and poetry):

quid confitetur, atque ita libenter confitetur, ut non solum fateri sed etiam profiteri videatur?

Cic. Caecin. 9, 24; cf.: hic ego non solum confiteor, verum etiam profiteor, id. Fragm. ap. Non. p. 434, 30:
