sătyrus

* * *

sătyrus, i, m., = saturos.

A kind of ape, Plin. 7, 2, 2, § 24; 5, 8, 8, § 44; 10, 72, 93, § 199; Sol. 27 fin. —

A Satyr, one of the satyri, a kind of wood-deities resembling apes, with two goat ' s feet, and very lascivious; sing., Ov. M. 6, 110; 6, 383; Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 125; Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 60, § 135; Sil. 3, 103.—Commonly plur.:

capripedes Satyros,

Lucr. 4, 580; Hor. C. 2, 19, 4; 1, 1, 31; id. Ep. 1, 19, 4; id. A. P. 221 sq.; Ov. F. 1, 397; id. M. 1, 193; 1, 692; 4, 25; Cic. N. D. 3, 17, 43 al.—

Like the Gr. Saturoi, Greek satiric plays:

satyrorum scriptor,

Hor. A. P. 235:

satyri dicaces,

id. ib. 226:

protervi,

id. ib. 233.

quīn, conj. [abl. quī and ne].

As an interrog. particle, why not? wherefore not? (only in exhortation or remonstrance; not in inquiring for a fact; cf.: quidni, cur non).

Usu. with indic. pres.:

quid stas, lapis? Quin accipis?

Ter. Heaut. 4, 7, 4:

quin experimur,

id. Phorm. 3, 3, 5 Fleck. (Umpf experiemur):

quin continetis vocem?

Cic. Rab. Perd. 6, 18:

quin potius pacem aeternam Exercemus?

Verg. A. 4, 99:

quin igitur ulciscimur Graeciam?

Curt. 5, 7, 4:

quin conscendimus equos?

why not mount our horses? Liv. 1, 57.—

With imper.:

quin me aspice et contempla,

Plaut. Most. 1, 3, 16:

quin uno verbo dic, quid est, quod me velis,

just say in one word! Ter. And. 1, 1, 18:

quin tu hoc crimen obice ubi licet agere,

i. e. you had better, Cic. Rosc. Com. 9, 25. —

With subj. only in orat. obliq.:

quin illi congrederentur acie inclinandamque semel fortunae rem darent,

Liv. 3, 61, 14; 4, 43, 11; 40, 40, 4.—

Transf.

As a rel. particle, prop. quī or qui ne, and mostly where the rel. stands for a nom. masc. or for abl. of time, who... not, that not, but that, but, often = Engl. without and a participial clause.

In gen.:

curiosus nemo est quin sit malevolus,

Plaut. Stich. 2, 1, 54:

neque aequom est occultum id haberi, quin participem te,

id. Aul. 2, 1, 13; id. Cas. 2, 8, 68:

nulla causast quin me condones cruci,

id. Rud. 4, 4, 26:

ut nullo modo Introire possem, quin me viderent,

Ter. Eun. 5, 2, 2:

facere non possum, quin ad te mittam,

I cannot forbear sending to you, Cic. Att. 12, 27, 3:

cum causae nihil esset, quin secus indicaret,

id. Quint. 9, 32:

nihil abest, quin sim miserrimus,

id. Att. 11, 15, 3:

neminem conveni, quin omnes mihi maximas gratias agant,

id. Fam. 9, 14, 1:

nemo est, quin ubivis quam ibi ubi est, esse malit,

id. ib. 6, 1, 1:

repertus est nemo quin mori diceret satius est,

id. Verr. 2, 2, 36, § 88:

nemo, qui aliquo esset in numero, scripsit orationem quin redigeret omnis sententias, etc.,

id. Or. 61, 208:

nihil praetermisi, quin enucleate ad te scriberem,

id. Q. Fr. 3, 3, 1:

neque ullus flare ventus poterat quin aliquā ex parte secundum cursum haberent,

Caes. B. C. 3, 47:

nulli ex itinere excedere licebat quin ab equitatu Caesaris exciperetur,

without being cut off, id. ib. 1, 79:

nullum fere tempus intermiserunt, quin trans Rhenum legatos mitterent,

without sending, id. B. G. 5, 55:

in castello nemo fuit omnino militum quin vulneraretur,

id. B. C. 3, 53:

quid recusare potest, quin et socii sibi consulant,

Liv. 32, 21: vix superat, quin triumphus decernatur, it wants little that, Quadrig. ap. Gell. 17, 13, 5:

paene factum est, quin castra relinquerentur,

i.e. they were very near deserting their camp, id. ib. 17, 13, 5.— So quin (= quī non) stands for a rel. abl. of time:

neque ullum fere tempus intercessit quin aliquem de motu Gallorum nuntium acciperet,

Caes. B. G. 5, 53.— More rarely quin stands for quae non, quod non, etc.: nulla est civitas quin ad id tempus partem senatus Cordubam mitteret. Caes. B. C. 2, 19:

nulla fuit Thessaliae civitas quin Caesari pareret,

id. ib. 3, 81:

nulla (natura), quin suam vim retineat,

Cic. Fin. 4, 13, 32:

horum autem nihil est quin intereat,

id. N. D. 3, 12, 30; id. Rep. 1, 2, 2: nihil est quin male narrando possit depravari, Ter. [p. 1513] Phorm. 4, 4, 16:

nihil tam difficilest quin investigare possiet,

id. Heant. 4, 2, 8:

cum nemo esset, quin hoc se audisse liquido diceret,

Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 59, § 136:

Messanam nemo venit, quin viderit,

id. ib. 2, 4, 4, §

7: nego ullam picturam fuisse, quin inspexerit,

id. ib. 2, 4, 1, § 1; cf. Gell. 17, 13, 2 sq., and Cato ap. Gell. ib. § 3.— 2. Esp. after words expressing hesitation (usu. with neg.):

non dubitaturum, quin cederet, Cic Mil. 23, 63: nolite dubitare, quin,

id. Imp. Pomp. 23, 68:

et vos non dubitatis, quin,

id. Agr. 2, 26, 69:

dubitatis, Quirites, quin hoc tantum boni in rem publicam conferatis?

id. Imp. Pomp. 16, 49. —

Much more freq. after words expressing doubt, ignorance, etc.:

non dubitabat, quin,

Cic. Att. 6, 2, 3:

cave dubites, quin,

id. Fam. 5, 20, 6:

non dubitabat quin... non posset,

id. Att. 5, 11, 7; id. Tusc. 1, 36, 88:

non esse dubium, quin... possent,

no doubt that, Caes. B. G. 1, 4; Ter. And. 2, 3, 17:

neque abest suspicio, quin,

a suspicion that, Caes. B. G. 1, 4:

quis ignerat, quin?

who is ignorant that? who does not know that? Cic. Fl. 27, 64:

dies fere nullus est, quin hic Satyrus domum meam ventitet,

hardly a day passes that he does not come, id. Att. 1, 1, 3.—

That not, as if not, as though not:

non quin ipse dissentiam, sed quod,

not but that, Cic. Fam. 4, 7, 1: non quin breviter reddi responsum potuerit, Liv 2, 15. —

For corroboration.

But, indeed, really, verily, of a truth:

Hercle quin tu recte dicis,

Plaut. Merc. 2, 3, 77: credo;

neque id injuria: quin Mihi molestum est,

Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 20:

te nec hortor, nec rogo, ut domum redeas, quin hinc ipse evolare cupio,

Cic. Fam. 7, 30, 1.— Esp. in reaching a climax or adding a stronger assertion or proof: quin etiam, yea indeed, nay even:

credibile non est, quantum scribam die: quin etiam noctibus,

Cic. Att. 13, 26, 3; 14, 21, 3:

quin etiam necesse crit cupere et optare, ut, etc.,

id. Lael. 16, 59:

quin etiam voces jactare,

Verg. A. 2, 768: mortem non esse metuendam, quin etiam si, etc., nay, not even if, etc., Lact. 3, 27 fin.; cf.:

quin et Atridas Priamus fefellit,

Hor. C. 1, 10, 13.—

Rather, yea rather:

nihil ea res animum militaris viri imminuit, quin contra plus spei naotus,

Liv. 35, 26.—

In corrections, nay, rather:

non potest dici satis quantum in illo sceleris fuerit, Quin sic attendite, judices, etc.,

Cic. Mil. 29, 78 sq. (cf. Halm ad loc., and Lorenz ad Plaut. Most. 164).
