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).

Esse (est, sunt, etc.) often stands without a subject expressed, or with an indef. subj., as antecedent of a rel.-clause, whose verb may be in the indic. or subj.; the former only when the subject is conceived as particular or limited, and actually existing; the latter always when it is conceived as indefinite; cf. Zumpt, Gram. § 562 sq.; Roby, Gram. § 1686 sq.; Madv. Gram. § 365; but the distinctions usually drawn by grammarians are not always observed by the best writers; and the subjunctive is always admissible, being the prevailing construction after sunt qui in class. prose, and nearly universal in postAug. writers: sunt, qui (quae), there are those ( people or things) who ( that), or simply some.

Caes. B. G. 1, 6 fin.; Cic. Att. 2, 11; id. Q. Fr. 3, 1, 3; Liv. 34, 35 al.—

Hence: dicere diem alicui, to impeach, lay an accusation against:

diem mihi, credo, dixerat,

Cic. Mil. 14, 36:

Domitium Silano diem dixisse scimus,

id. Div. in Caec. 20, 67.—

A natural day, a day, as opp. to night: ut vel, quia est aliquid, aliud non sit, ut Dies est, nox non est; vel, quia est aliquid, et aliud sit: Sol est super terram, dies est, Quint. 5, 8, 7: pro di immortales, quis hic illuxit dies, Cic. Fragm. ap. Quint. 9, 4, 76:

in the daytime, id. Att. 13, 26:

nocte et die,

Liv. 25, 39;

and simply die,

Hor. S. 2, 1, 4; Quint. 10, 3, 8; cf.

also: currus rogat ille paternos, Inque diem alipedum jus et moderamen equorum,

Ov. M. 2, 48; and, connected with nox:

(Themistocles) diem noctemque procul ab insula in salo navem tenuit in ancoris,

Nep. Them. 8 fin.; cf. Cic. Div. 2, 27, 59; Liv. 22, 1 fin. —But more freq.: diem noctemque, like our day and night, i. q. without ceasing, uninterruptedly; Caes. B. G. 7, 77, 11; 7, 42 fin.; id. B. C. 1, 62;

for which less freq.: diem et noctem,

Hirt. B. Hisp. 38, 1;

diem ac noctem,

Liv. 27, 4 and 45:

noctemque diemque,

Verg. A. 8, 94; cf. Quint. 9, 4, 23:

continuate nocte ac die itinere,

Caes. B. C. 3, 11, 1; 3, 36, 8; and in plur.:

dies noctesque,

Plaut. Rud. 2, 3, 49; Ter. Eun. 1, 2, 113; Cic. Att. 7, 9 fin.; Nep. Dat. 4, 4 et saep.; also, reversing the order: noctesque diesque, Enn. ap. Cic. de Sen. 1, 1 (Ann. v. 338 ed. Vahl.); Hor. S. 1, 1, 76:

also: neque noctem neque diem intermittit,

Caes. B. G. 5, 38:

Galli dies... sic observant, ut noctem dies subsequatur,

id. ib. 6, 18, 2 Herz ad loc. So, too, in gen.:

qui nocte dieque frequentat Limina,

Mart. 10, 58, 11:

at break of day, Ov. M. 13, 677:

orto die ( = orta luce),

Tac. A. 1, 20; 1, 68; id. H. 2, 21:

ante diem ( = ante lucem),

Hor. Ep. 1, 2, 35:

dies fit, late Lat. for lucescit,

Vulg. Luc. 22, 66: de die, in open day, broad day; v. de.—

Dies alicujus (like the Heb. ; v. Gesen. Lex. s. h. v.).

I. q. dies natalis, a birthday:

diem meum scis esse III. Non. Jan. Aderis igitur,

Cic. Att. 13, 42, 2; cf.

in full: natali die tuo,

id. ib. 9, 5 al. So the anniversary day of the foundation of a city is, dies natalis urbis, Cic. Div. 2, 47, 98.—

I. q. dies mortis, dying-day:

quandocumque fatalis et meus dies veniet statuarque tumulo,

Tac. Or. 13 fin. Called, also: supremus dies. Suet. Aug. 99; id. Tib. 67; cf.:

supremus vitae dies,

Cic. de Sen. 21, 78; Suet. Aug. 61. Hence:

diem suum obire,

to die, Sulp. in Cic. Fam. 4, 12, 2;

and in the same sense: obire diem supremum,

Nep. Milt. 7 fin.; id. Dion. 2 fin.; Suet. Claud. 1:

exigere diem supremum,

Tac. A. 3, 16:

explere supremum diem,

id. ib. 1, 6; 3, 76;

and simply: obire diem,

Plin. 2, 109, 112, § 248; Suet. Tib. 4; id. Vesp. 1; id. Gr. 3; cf.

also: fungi diem,

Just. 19, 1, 1.—

Tac. Agr. 34:

quid pulchrius hac consuetudine excutiendi totum diem?... totum diem mecum scrutor, facta ac dicta mea remetior, etc., Sen. de Ira, 3, 36: dies Alliensis, i. q. pugna Alliensis,

Liv. 6, 1; Suet. Vit. 11:

Cannensis,

Flor. 4, 12, 35 al. And so even of one's state of mind on any particular day:

qualem diem Tiberius induisset,

what humor, temper, Tac. A. 6, 20. —

A day's journey:

hanc regionem, dierum plus triginta in longitudinem, decem inter duo maria in latitudinem patentem,

Liv. 38, 59; Just. 36, 2, 14 al.—

In gen. (like, hêmera, and our day, for) time, space of time, period:

so in the masc. gender: longus,

Stat. Th. 1, 638; Luc. 3, 139;

and simply in diem,

Plaut. Mil. 3, 2, 48; Ter. Eun. 5, 7, 19; Cic. Cael. 24.—Esp. freq. in diem vivere, to live on from day to day, regardless of the future, Cic. de Or. 2, 40, 169; id. Tusc. 5, 11, 33; Plin. Ep. 5, 5, 4 et saep; cf. the equivoque with de die, under de.—

Light of day, daylight:

multis mensibus non cernitur dies,

Plin. 33, 4, 21, § 70; Plin. Ep. 6, 20, 6; 9, 36, 2 al.; also of the eyesight, Stat. Th. 1, 237;

As fem., the daughter of Chaos, and mother of Heaven and Earth, Hyg. Fab. praef.; of the first Venus, Cic. N. D. 3, 23, 59.

ălĭēno, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. [id.] (purely prosaic, but class.).

Orig., to make one person or thing another:

facere, ut aliquis alius sit. Thus, in Plaut., Sosia says to Mercury, who represented himself as Sosia: certe edepol tu me alienabis numquam, quin noster siem,

Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 243. So also Pliny:

sacopenium, quod apud nos gignitur, in totum transmarino alienatur,

is entirely other than, different from, the transmarine one, Plin. 20, 18, 75, § 197.—Hence, of things, a t. t. in the Roman lang. of business, to make something the property of another, to alienate, to transfer by sale (in the jurid. sense, diff. from vendere: Alienatum non proprie dicitur, quod adhuc in dominio venditoris manet? venditum tamen recte dicetur, Dig. 50, 16, 67; the former, therefore, includes the idea of a complete transfer of the thing sold):

pretio parvo ea, quae accepissent a majoribus, vendidisse atque alienāsse,

Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 60:

venire vestras res proprias atque in perpetuum a vobis alienari,

id. Agr. 2, 21, 54:

vectigalia (opp. frui),

id. ib. 2, 13, 33; so Varr. R. R. 2, 1; Dig. 4, 7, 4.—Esp., to remove, separate, make foreign:

urbs maxuma alienata,

Sall. J. 48, 1.—

Transf. to mental objects, and with esp. reference to that from which any person or thing is separated or removed, to cast off, to alienate, estrange, set at variance, render averse, make enemies ( Abalienatus dicitur, quem quis a se removerit; alienatus, qui alienus est factus, Paul. ex Fest. p. 25 Müll.; class., esp. freq. in the part. alienatus).

In gen.:

eum omnibus eadem res publica reconciliavit, quae alienārat,

Cic. Prov. Cons. 9:

legati alienati,

id. Pis. 96:

alienati sunt peccatores,

sibi animum alicujus,

Vell. 2, 112; Tac. H. 1, 59; Just. 1, 7, 18.—

Esp.

Mentem alienare alicui, to take away or deprive of reason, to make crazy, insane, to drive mad (not before the Aug. per., perh. first by Livy):

erat opinio Flaccum minus compotem fuisse sui: vulgo Junonis iram alienāsse mentem ferebant,

Liv. 42, 28:

signum alienatae mentis,

of insanity, Suet. Aug. 99:

alienata mens,

Sall. Rep. Ord. 2, 12, 6 (cf. Liv. 25, 39: alienatus sensibus).—And absol.:

odor sulfuris saepius haustus alienat,

deprives of reason, Sen. Q. N. 2, 53.—Hence, pass.:

alienari mente,

to be insane, Plin. 28, 8, 27, § 93:

ita alienatus mente Antiochus (erat),

Vulg. 2 Macc. 5, 17.—

In medic. lang.: alienari, of parts of the body, to die, perish:

alienari ab interitu iisque rebus, quae interitum videantur afferre,

id. ib. 3, 5, 16.

Trop.

To draw a line as the circumference of a thing (cf. Quint. 12, 10, 5), i. e. to define, encompass, enclose, lim it, bound, circumscribe (syn.: definio, describo, termino):

an consules in praetore coërcendo fortes fuissent),

id. Att. 7, 9, 2; id. Phil. 13, 9, 19; Caes. B. C. 1, 32; Auct. ap. Quint. 9, 3, 72:

totum Dionysium sex epitomis circumscripsit,

abridged, Col. 1, 1, 10:

In later medic. lang. circumscribi = minui, to abate, subside:

Cic. Ac. 2, 15, 46; Plin. 7, 40, 41, § 131; 33, 3, 14, § 48: non circumscribetur, qui ita se gesserit, ut dicat, etc., will not be deceived, i. e. will commit no error, Sen. Q. N. 5, 1, 3; id. Ep. 82, 19.—

In mercantile lang., to deprive of money, to overreach, defraud:
