    cum postulasset... ut sibi triumphanti urbem invehi liceret,

    Liv. 38, 44 fin. —

    Very rarely, in this construction, the dative with licet is wanting, and is to be supplied from the connection: atqui licet esse beatis (sc. iis),

    Hor. S. 1, 1, 19:

    licet eminus esse Fortibus,

    Ov. M. 8, 405:

    Hannibal precatur deos ut incolumi cedere atque abire liceat,

    Cic. Agr. 2, 7, 19.
    II.
    Transf. When licet introduces a subordinate proposition, which makes a concession, without abandoning the main proposition, it is used as a conjunction corresponding to quamvis, quamquam, etsi. In late Latin it is, like these, connected with the indicative, and in the class. per. it is not unfreq. opposed to tamen and certe in the main proposition; even if, although, notwithstanding.

    Transf. When licet introduces a subordinate proposition, which makes a concession, without abandoning the main proposition, it is used as a conjunction corresponding to quamvis, quamquam, etsi. In late Latin it is, like these, connected with the indicative, and in the class. per. it is not unfreq. opposed to tamen and certe in the main proposition; even if, although, notwithstanding.

    Cic. Balb. 12, 29:

    potest incidere quaestio, An huic esse procuratorem liceat?

    Quint. 7, 1, 19:

    procuratorem tibi esse non licuit,

    id. 4, 4, 6 Zumpt N. cr.:

    Ov. H. 14, 64: is erat annus, quo per leges ei consulem fieri liceret Caes. B. C. 3, 1 Oud. N. cr. —But more freq., in this case, there is an attraction of the predicate-noun to the dative dependent on licet.—Hence,

    cum postulasset... ut sibi triumphanti urbem invehi liceret,

    Liv. 38, 44 fin. —

    Very rarely, in this construction, the dative with licet is wanting, and is to be supplied from the connection: atqui licet esse beatis (sc. iis),

    Hor. S. 1, 1, 19:

    licet eminus esse Fortibus,

    Ov. M. 8, 405:

    Hannibal precatur deos ut incolumi cedere atque abire liceat,

    Cic. Agr. 2, 7, 19.
    II.
    Transf. When licet introduces a subordinate proposition, which makes a concession, without abandoning the main proposition, it is used as a conjunction corresponding to quamvis, quamquam, etsi. In late Latin it is, like these, connected with the indicative, and in the class. per. it is not unfreq. opposed to tamen and certe in the main proposition; even if, although, notwithstanding.
    A.
    With subj. (class.):
