vides quantum distet argumentatio tua ab re ipsā atque a veritate,

Cic. Rosc. Am. 15, 44. — Hence, abl. sing., often strengthened by verā (sometimes as one word, reverā), in fact, really, in truth, indeed, in reality:

haec ille, si verbis non audet, re quidem verā palam loquitur,

Cic. Quint. 17, 56; so,

re quidem verā,

id. Clu. 19, 54; id. Sest. 7, 15:

melius illi consulas quam rei tuae,

id. Cist. 1, 1, 98:

haec tuā re feceris,

to your advantage, id. Capt. 2, 2, 46.— Most freq. with the prepositions in, ex, ob, ab, etc.:

Vict. p. 2458 P.; but more prob. an ablative from root of the reflexive pron. so- for suo-, and orig. the same with the insep. prep. 2. sēd; prop., by itself, apart; hence, but, only, etc.; cf. Corss. Ausspr. 1, p. 200 sq.], a particle of limitation, exception, or correction (cf. at and autem init.).

In gen., but, yet:

ipsum regale genus civitatis reliquis simplicibus longe anteponendum: sed ita, quoad statum suum retinet, etc.,

Cic. Rep. 2, 23, 43:

Neoptolemus apud Ennium Philosophari sibi ait necesse esse, sed paucis: nam omnino haud placere,

Plaut. Capt. 3, 1, 2:

vera dico, sed nequicquam, quoniam non vis credere,

id. Am. 2, 2, 205:

video te testimoniis satis instructum: sed apud me argumenta plus quam testes valent,

Cic. Rep. 1, 38, 59:

(Platonis civitatem) praeclaram illam quidem fortasse, sed a vitā hominum abhorrentem et moribus,

id. ib. 2, 11, 21; cf. id. ib. 1, 40, 63:

sed id ubi jam penes sese habent, ex bonis pessumi sunt,

Cic. Rep. 1, 43, 66:

in quo defuit fortasse ratio, sed tamen vincit ipsa natura saepe rationem,

id. ib. 2, 33, 57: illa quidem tristis, nec adhuc interrita vultu: Sed regina tamen, sed opaci maxima mundi;

Sed tamen inferni pollens matrona tyranni,

Ov. M. 5, 507 sq.; cf. id. ib. 7, 718:

plerique patriae, sed omnes famā atque fortunis expertes,

Sall. C. 33, 1:

ipsum quidem regem assecutus non est, sed magnam partem agminis oppresserunt,

Liv. 36, 19:

plus aegri ex abitu viri quam ex adventu voluptatis cepi. Sed hoc me beat saltem, quod perduelles vicit,

Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 15:

apponam urnam jam ego hanc in mediā viā. Sed autem, quid si hanc hinc abstulerit quispiam?

but then, id. Rud. 2, 5, 15 (cf. in the foll. II. A. 2.):

statim Luculli... eum domum suam receperunt. Sed enim hoc non solum ingenii ac litterarum, verum etiam naturae, etc.,

but indeed, Cic. Arch. 3, 5:

progeniem sed enim Trojano a sanguine duci Audierat,

Verg. A. 1, 19; 2, 164; 5, 395;

6, 28 et saep. (cf. also infra, II. A. 2.): sed enimvero, cum detestabilis altera res sit, quid ad deliberationem dubii superesse?

Liv. 45, 19, 14.—Very rarely with non (for nec tamen), introducing a qualification of a previous word:

Academici veteres beatum quidem esse etiam inter hos cruciatus fatentur, sed non ad perfectum,

Sen. Ep. 71, 18.

In partic.

Interrupting the discourse by transition to another subject or by ending the speech.

In a transition to another subject:

tristis sit (servus), si eri sint tristes: hilarus sit, si gaudeant. Set age, responde: jam vos redistis in gratiam?

Plaut. Am. 3, 3, 7; cf. id. ib. 5, 1, 20;

5, 1, 26: non impedio, praesertim quoniam feriati sumus. Sed possumus audire aliquid, an serius venimus?

sed quid ego cesso?

id. As. 1, 1, 112: sed ista mox;

sed redeamus rursus ad Hortensium,

id. ib. 84, 291:

sed jam ad id, unde degressi sumus, revertamur,

id. ib. 88, 300:

sed perge de Caesare et redde quae restant,

id. ib. 74, 258 et saep.—Hence, after parenthetic clauses, but, now, I say, etc.:

equidem cum audio socrum meam Laeliam (facilius enim mulieres incorruptam antiquitatem conservant, quod multorum sermonis expertes ea tenent semper quae prima didicerunt) sed eam sic audio, ut Plautum mihi aut Naevium videar audire,

Cic. de Or. 3, 12, 45:

qui (Pompeius) ut peroravit (nam in eo sane fortis fuit: non est deterritus: dixit omnia, atque interdum etiam silentio, cum auctoritate semper), sed ut peroravit, surrexit Clodius,

id. Q. Fr. 2, 3, 2.—

In breaking off, discontinuing speech:

sed satis verborum est: cura quae jussi atque abi,

Plaut. Capt. 1, 2, 16:

sed, si placet, in hunc diem hactenus,

Cic. Rep. 2, 44, 71:

sed haec hactenus,

id. Off. 1, 39, 140 al.: sed quid ego haec memoro? Enn. ap. Prisc. p. 724 P. (Ann. v. 318 Vahl.):

nec requievit enim, donec Calchante ministro—Sed quid ego haec autem nequicquam ingrata revolvo? Quidve moror?

Verg. A. 2, 101: sed enim, oikonomia (epistulae) si perturbatior est, tibi assignato: te enim sequor, schediazonta, but indeed, Cic. Att. 6, 1, 11; so,

sed enim,

Verg. A. 1, 19.—

After negative clauses, to limit the negative statement, i. e. to indicate either that the assertion does not hold good at all, but something else does instead; or else that it is not exclusively true, but something else holds good in addition, but, on the contrary; and in an ascending signif., but also, but even, but in fact, etc.

In a simple opposition: non cauponantes bellum, sed belligerantes, Ferro, non auro, vitam cernamus utrique, Enn. ap. Cic. Off. 1, 12, 38 (Ann. v. 201 Vahl.); cf.: haud doctis dictis certantes, sed maledictis...Non ex jure manu consertum sed magi' ferro Rem repetunt, id. ap. Gell. 20, 10 (Ann. v. 274 sq. Vahl.):

non ego erus tibi, sed servus sum,

Plaut. Capt. 2, 1, 44:

quae (hominum vestigia) ille (Aristippus) non ex agri consiturā, sed ex doctrinae indiciis interpretabatur,

Cic. Rep. 1, 17, 29:

id. ib. 1, 34, 52;

1, 13, 19: neque hac nos patria lege genuit, ut...sed ut, etc.,

id. ib. 1, 4, 8:

non quod...sed quod, etc.,

id. ib. 1, 18, 30.—With contra:

non liberis servitutem, sed contra servientibus libertatem afferre,

Liv. 4, 18 init. —

Several times repeated: non sibi se soli natum, sed patriae, sed suis,

Cic. Fin. 2, 14, 45 Madv. ad loc.:

quod non naturā exoriatur, sed judicio, sed opinione,

id. Tusc. 3, 34, 82:

sed publicam, sed ob frumentum decretam, sed a publicanis faenore acceptam,

id. Verr. 2, 3, 72, § 169; id. Planc. 10, 24:

non eros nec dominos appellat eos...sed patriae custodes, sed patres et deos,

id. Rep. 1, 41, 64; Tib. 1, 7, 44 sq.: quam tibi non Perseus, verum si quaeris, ademit;

Sed grave Nereïdum numen, sed corniger Hammon, Sed quae visceribus veniebat belua ponti Exsaturanda meis,

Ov. M. 5, 17 sq.:

sed Pompeium, sed Lepidum,

Tac. A. 1, 10; Sen. Const. 13, 4; id. Ben. 1, 1, 6; 1, 7, 3:

non praefectum ab iis, sed Germanicum ducem, sed Tiberium imperatorem violari,

Tac. A. 1, 38 et saep.—

In a climax. [p. 1658]

Non modo (solum, tantum, etc.)...sed or sed etiam (et, quoque), not only, not merely...but, but also, but even, but indeed (sed, standing alone, isolates the ascending idea, while an appended etiam, et, or quoque places it in closer connection with the first statement, and thus permits them to be viewed together):

non modo falsum illud esse, sed hoc verissimum,

Cic. Rep. 2, 44, 71:

quod non modo singulis hominibus, sed potentissimis populis saepe contingit,

id. ib. 5, 8, 11;

3, 10, 17: id ei perpetuā oratione contigit, non modo ut acclamatione, sed ut convitio et maledictis impediretur,

id. Q. Fr. 2, 3, 2:

unius viri consilio non solum ortum novum populum, sed adultum jam et paene puberem,

id. Rep. 2, 11, 21; cf.:

nec vero corpori soli subveniendum est, sed menti atque animo multo magis,

id. Sen. 11, 36:

volo ut in scaenā, sic in foro non eos modo laudari, qui celeri motu utantur, sed eos etiam, quos statarios appellant,

Simul itself stands as co-ordinating conjunction, to connect dependent clauses represented as contemporaneous, and at the same time, and also (not ante-class.; rare in Cic.;

freq. in the histt.): ei Verres possessionem negat se daturum, ne posset patronum suum juvare, simul ut esset poena quod, etc.,

Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 47, § 124:

omnes vocat ad diripiendos Eburones, ut potius Gallorum vita quam legionarius miles periclitetur, simul ut... pro tali facinore stirps et nomen civitatis tollatur,

Simul, in connection with ac, atque (also written in one word,

sĭmŭlac

, sĭmŭlatque), rarely with ut, and very rarely with et, is used as subordinating, temporal conjunction, as soon as. For simulac, etc., simul alone is freq.
