sic deinde quicunque alius transiliet moenia mea (= sic pereat, quicunque deinde, etc.),
Liv. 1, 7, 2:
sic eat quaecunque Romana lugebit hostem,
so will every one fare who, id. 1, 26, 5:

Liv. 8, 6, 6; cf. id. 1, 24, 8 (v. IV. 1. infra).

1.
With comp. clauses, usu. introduced by ut, but also by quemadmodum (very freq.), sicut, velut, tamquam, quasi, quomodo, quam (rare and poet.), ceu (rare; poet. and post-class.), quantus (rare and poet.), qualis (ante-class. and rare).
(α).
With ut:
ut cibi satietas subamara aliqua re relevatur, sic animus defessus audiendi admiratione redintegratur,
Cic. Inv. 1, 17, 25:
ut non omnem frugem, neque arborem in omni agro reperire possis, sic non omne facinus in omni vita nascitur,
id. Rosc. Am. 27, 75:
ex suo regno sic Mithridates profugit ut ex eodem Ponto Medea quondam profugisse dicitur,

Plaut. Pers. 4, 1, 3:
ut quaeque res est tur pissima, sic maxime et maturissime vindicanda est,
Cic. Caecin. 2, 7; v. Fischer, Gr. II. p. 751.—
(β).
With quemadmodum: quemadmodum tibicen sine tibiis canere, sic orator, nisi multitudine audiente, eloquens esse non potest, Cic. Or. 2, 83, 338:
quemadmodum se tribuni gessissent in prohibendo dilectu, sic patres in lege prohibenda gerebant,
Liv. 3, 11, 3:
sic vestras hallucinationes fero, quemadmodum Juppiter ineptias poetarum,

Cic. Or. 2, 88, 360:
quid autem ego sic adhuc egi, tamquam integra sit causa patriciorum?

Cic. Fam. 13, 69, 1; cf. id. Or. 2, 42, 180; id. Brut. 18, 71; 58, 213; 66, 235; 74, 258; id. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 16; 2, 14, 1; id. Prov. Cons. 12, 31; Sen. Ep. 101, 7.—
(ζ).
With quasi:
hujus innocentiae sic in hac calamitosa fama, quasi in aliqua perniciosissima flamma subvenire,
Cic. Clu. 1, 4:
ea sic observabo quasi intercalatum non sit,
id. Att. 6, 1, 12:

Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 51; cf. Cic. Or. 2, 11, 47; id. Inv. 1, 3, 4; id. Sen. 8, 26:
ego sic vivam quasi sciam, etc.,
Sen. Vit. Beat. 20, 3.—
(η).

quomodo nomen in militiam non daret debilis, sic ad iter quod inhabile sciat, non accedet,
Sen. Ot. Sap. 3 (30), 4:
sic demus quomodo vellemus accipere,
id. Ben. 2, 1, 1; id. Ep. 9, 17; id. Ot. Sap. 6, 2 (32 med.); Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 4, 4.—
(θ).
With ceu:
ceu cetera nusquam Bella forent... sic Martem indomitum Cernimus,
Verg. A. 2, 438.—
(ι).
With quam:
non sic incerto mutantur flamine Syrtes, quam cito feminea non constat foedus in ira,

(λ).
With qualis:

Plaut. Am. 1, 3, 40.—
(μ).
Without a correlative particle, in an independent sentence:

Cic. Or. 3, 25, 100; cf. id. ib. 19, 63.—
2.
In contrasted clauses, mostly with ut, which may generally be rendered while: ut ad bella suscipienda Gallorum acer ac promptus est animus, sic mollis ad calamitates perferendas mens eorum est (almost = etsi ad bella suscipienda... tamen mollis est, etc., while, etc.), Caes. B. G. 3, 19: a ceteris oblectationibus ut deseror, sic litteris sustentor et recreor, while I am deserted, I am sustained, etc., Cic. Att. 4, 10, 1; cf. id. Rosc. Am. 18, 55; id. Fam. 10, 20, 2; Liv. 4, 57, 11; Ov. M. 4, 131; 11, 76.—So freq. two members of the same sentence are coordinated by ut... sic (ita) with almost the same force as a co-ordination by cum... tum, or by sed:
consul, ut fortasse vere, sic parum utiliter in praesens certamen respondit (= vere fortasse, sed parum utiliter),
Liv. 4, 6, 2:
ut nondum satis claram victoriam, sic prosperae spei pugnam imber diremit,
id. 6, 32, 6:
(forma erat) ut non cygnorum, sic albis proxima cygnis,
Ov. M. 14, 509; cf. Liv. 1, 27, 2; 5, 38, 2; 6, 6, 10; Ov. M. 1, 370.—In this use etiam or quoque is sometimes joined with sic (never by Cic. with ita):
nostri sensus, ut in pace semper, sic tum etiam in bello congruebant (= cum... tum),
Cic. Marcell. 6, 16:
ut sunt, sic etiam nominantur senes,
id. Sen. 6, 20:
utinam ut culpam, sic etiam suspitionem vitare potuisses,
id. Phil. 1, 13, 33:
ut superiorum aetatum studia occidunt, sic occidunt etiam senectutis,
id. Sen. 20, 76:
ut voce, sic etiam oratione,
id. Or. 25, 85; id. Top. 15, 59; id. Leg. 2, 25, 62; id. Lael. 5, 19.—More rarely with quem ad modum, quomodo:
ut, quem ad modum est, sic etiam appelletur tyrannus,
Cic. Att. 10, 4, 2:
quo modo ad bene vivendum, sic etiam ad beate,
id. Tusc. 3, 17, 37. —
3.
With a clause of manner introduced by ut = so that:
sic fuimus semper comparati ut hominum sermonibus quasi in aliquod judicium vocaremur,
Cic. Or. 3, 9, 32:
eam sic audio ut Plautum mihi aut Naevium videar audire,
id. ib. 3, 12, 45:
sic agam vobiscum ut aliquid de vestris vitiis audiatis,
id. ib. 3, 12, 46:
omnia sic suppetunt ut ei nullam deesse virtutem oratoris putem,
id. Brut. 71, 250:
omnis pars orationis esse debet laudabilis, sic ut verbum nullum excidat,
id. Or. 36, 125:
sic tecum agam ut vel respondendi vel interpellandi potestatem faciam,
id. Rosc. Am. 27, 73:
nec vero sic erat umquam non paratus Milo contra illum ut non satis fere esset paratus,
id. Mil. 21, 56:
sic eum eo de re publica disputavit ut sentiret sibi cum viro forti esse pugnandum,
id. Fam. 5, 2, 8; cf. Plaut. As. 2, 4, 49; id. Mil. 2, 2, 82; Cic. de Or. 1, 57, 245; 2, 1, 3; 2, 6, 23; id. Brut. 22, 88; 40, 148; id. Sest. 40, 87; id. Planc. 10, 25; id. Fam. 5, 15, 4; Caes. B. G. 2, 32; 5, 17; id. B. C. 3, 56; Prop. 1, 21, 5.—Sometimes the correlative clause is restrictive, and sic = but so, yet so, only so:
mihi sic placuit ut cetera Antisthenis, hominis acuti magis quam eruditi,
Cic. Att. 12, 38, 4:
sic conveniet reprehendi, ut demonstretur etc.,
id. Inv. 1, 46, 86; id. Brut. 79, 274; id. Marcell. 11, 34; id. Att. 13, 3, 1 (ita is more freq. in this sense).—
4.
With a clause expressing intensity (so both with adjj. and verbs; but far less freq. than ita, tam, adeo), to such a degree, so, so far, etc.:
sic ego illum in timorem dabo, ipse sese ut neget esse eum qui siet,
Plaut. Ps. 4, 1, 20 sq.:
conficior lacrimis sic ut ferre non possim,
Cic. Fam. 14, 4, 1:
sic rem fuisse apertam ut judicium fieri nihil attinuerit,
id. Inv. 2, 28, 84:
cujus responso judices sic exarserunt ut capitis hominem innocentissimum condemnarent,
id. Or. 1, 54, 233; cf. id. ib. 3, 8, 29; id. Brut. 88, 302; id. Or. 53, 177; 55, 184; id. Rep. 2, 21, 37; 3, 9, 15; id. Lael. 1, 4; id. Planc. 8, 21; id. Verr. 1, 36, 91; id. Balb. 5, 13; id. Att. 1, 8, 2; 1, 16, 1; Caes. B. G. 6, 41; Hor. S. 2, 3, 1.—
5.
Rarely conditional clauses have the antecedent sic.
a.
Poet. and in post-Aug. prose, to represent the result of the condition as sure:
sic invidiam effugies, si te non ingesseris oculis, si bona tua non jactaveris, si scieris in sinu gaudere,
Sen. Ep. 105, 3:
sic hodie veniet si qua negavit heri,
Prop. 2, 14 (3, 6), 20.—
b.
Denoting with the proviso that, but only if (usu. ita):
decreverunt ut cum populus regem jussisset, id sic ratum esset si patres auctores fuissent,
that the choice should be valid, but only if the Senate should ratify it, Liv. 1, 17, 9:
sic ignovisse putato Me tibi si cenes hodie mecum,
Hor. Ep. 1, 7, 69.—
6.
Sic quia = idcirco quia (very rare): Th. Quid vos? Insanin' estis? Tr. Quidum? Th. Sic quia foris ambulatis, Plaut. Most. 2, 2, 20.—
7.
With inf. clause (freq.):
sic igitur sentio, naturam primum atque ingenium ad dicendum vim afferre maximam,
Cic. Or. 1, 25, 113:
sic a majoribus nostris accepimus, praetorem quaestori suo parentis loco esse oportere,
id. Div. in Caecil. 19, 61:
ego sic existimo, in summo imperatore quattuor res inesse oportere,
id. Imp. Pomp. 10, 38; cf. Ter. Hec. 5, 4, 5; Cic. Inv. 2, 55, 167; id. de Or. 1, 20, 93; 2, 28, 122; id. Brut. 36, 138; 41, 152; id. Div. in Caecil. 3, 10; id. Verr. 1, 7, 20; Liv. 5, 15, 11.—Esp., after sic habeto (habe, habeas) = scito (only Ciceron.):
sic habeto, in eum statum tuum reditum incidere ut, etc.,
Cic. Fam. 2, 3, 1; so id. ib. 1, 7, 3; 2, 6, 5; 2, 10, 1; 7, 18, 1; 9, 16, 2; id. Att. 2, 25, 1; 5, 1, 5; 5, 20, 1 et saep.—
8.
With ut, expressing purpose or result:
nunc sic faciam, sic consilium est, ad erum ut veniam docte atque astu,
Plaut. Rud. 4, 2, 23:
ab Ariobarzane sic contendi ut talenta, quae mihi pollicebatur, illi daret,
Cic. Att. 6, 1, 3:
sic accidit ut ex tanto navium numero nulla omnino navis... desideraretur,
Caes. B. G. 5, 23; cf. Cato, R. R. 1, 1; Cic. Att. 8, 1, 4; id. Or. 2, 67, 271.
V.
Idiomatic usages of sic.
1.
In a wish, expressed as a conclusion after an imperative ( poet.):
parce: sic bene sub tenera parva quiescat humo (= si parces, bene quiescat),
Tib. 2, 6, 30:
annue: sic tibi sint intonsi, Phoebe, capilli,
id. 2, 5, 121:
pone, precor, fastus... Sic tibi nec vernum nascentia frigus adurat Poma, nec excutiant rapidi florentia venti,
Ov. M. 14, 762: dic [p. 1692] mihi de nostra quae sentis vera puella:
Sic tibi sint dominae, Lygdame, dempta juga,
Prop. 4, 5, 1; Tib. 2, 6, 30.—The imperative may follow the clause with sic:
sic tua Cyrneas fugiant examina taxos... Incipe (sc. cantare) si quid habes (= si incipies cantare, opto tibi ut tua examina, etc.),
Verg. E. 9, 30:
sic tibi (Arethusa) Doris amara suam non intermisceat undam: Incipe (= si incipies, opto tibi ut Doris, etc.),

Ov. M. 8, 857; Sen. Troad. 702; cf.:

also: sic venias hodierne: tibi dem turis honores (=si venies, tibi dem),
Tib. 1, 7, 53; cf. Ov. H. 3, 135; 4, 148.—
2.
Sic (like ita) with ut in strong asseveration ( poet.):
sic me di amabunt, ut me tuarum miseritum'st fortunarum (= by the love of the gods, I pity, etc.),
Ter. Heaut. 3, 1, 54:
Diespiter me sic amabit ut ego hanc familiam interire cupio,
Plaut. Poen. 4, 2, 47:
sic has deus aequoris artes Adjuvet, ut nemo jamdudum littore in isto constitit,
Ov. M. 8, 866:
sic mihi te referas levis, ut non altera nostro limine intulit ulla pedes,
Prop. 1, 18, 11; cf. id. 3, 15 (4, 14), 1; cf.:
vera cano, sic usque sacras innoxia laurus vescar,
Tib. 2, 5, 63.—
3.
In a demonstrative temporal force, like the Gr. houtôs, so, as the matter stands now, as it now is, as it then was, etc.
(α).
In gen.:
e Graecis cavendae sunt quaedam familiaritates, praeter hominum perpaucorum, si qui sunt vetere Graecia digni. Sic vero fallaces sunt permulti et leves,
but as things now stand, Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 5, § 16:
at sic citius qui te expedias his aerumnis reperias,
Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 8: Pe. Pol tibi istuc credo nomen actutum fore. Tr. Dum interea sic sit, istuc actutum sino, provided it be as it is, Plaut. Most. 1, 1, 71:

sub alta platano... jacentes sic temere,
Hor. C. 2, 11, 14.—Esp., with sine and abl.:
me germanam meam sororem tibi sic sine dote dedisse,
so as she is, without a dowry, Plaut. Trin. 3, 2, 65:
sic sine malo,
id. Rud. 3, 5, 2:
at operam perire meam sic... perpeti nequeo,
without result, id. Trin. 3, 2, 34 Ritschl, Fleck. (Brix omits sic): nec sic de nihilo fulminis ira cadit (= without cause), Prop. 2, 16 (3, 8), 52: mirabar hoc si sic abiret, so, i. e. without trouble, Ter. And. 1, 2, 4:

Cic. Fin. 5, 3, 7; so,
sic abire,
id. Att. 14, 1, 1; Cat. 14, 16; Plaut. Men. 5, 7, 39. —Hence,
(β).
With imperatives, esp. with sine: Quid ego hoc faciam postea? sic sine eumpse, just let him alone, i. e. leave him as he is, Plaut. Most. 1, 4, 32:
si non vult (numerare), sic sine adstet,
id. As. 2, 4, 54:
sine fores sic, abi,
let the door alone, id. Men. 2, 3, 1; so id. Cas. 3, 6, 36; id. Ps. 1, 5, 62.—
(γ).

nolo bis iterare, sat sic longae fiunt fabulae,
narratives are long enough anyhow, as they are, without saying them twice over, Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 154:
sed sic quoque erat tamen Acis,
even as it was, in spite of what has been said, Ov. M. 13, 896; so,
sic quoque fallebat,
id. ib. 1, 698:
sed sic me et libertatis fructu privas et diligentiae,
anyhow, not taking into account what is mentioned, Cic. Fam. 5, 20, 4: exhibeas molestiam si quid debeam, qui nunc sic tam es molestus, who art so troublesome even as it is, i. e. without my owing you any thing, Plaut. Pers. 2, 44:
sic quoque parte plebis affecta, fides tamen publica potior senatui fuit,
Liv. 7, 27; cf. Ov. F. 2, 642; Suet. Aug. 78.—
4.
Ellipt., referring to something in the mind of the speaker:
Quod si hoc nunc sic incipiam? Nihil est. Quod si sic? Tantumdem egero. At sic opinor? Non potest,
Ter. Heaut. 4, 2, 8: illa quae aliis sic, aliis secus videntur, to some in one way, to others in another (= aliis aliter), Cic. Leg. 1, 17, 47: Quid vini absumpsit! Sic hoc dicens, asperum hoc est, aliud lenius, = this wine is so (the speaker not saying what he thinks of it), Ter.
