dumtaxat (less correctly, duntax-at; in ante-Aug. monuments perh. always written separately; often in inscriptions separated by some words: dum... taxat; cf. also Lex ap. Fest. p. 246, 12 Müll.), adv. [dum-taxo; hence, lit., as far as it holds good, extends].

To this extent, so far, in so far, as far as this matter is concerned:

sin autem jejunitatem et siccitatem... dummodo sit polito... in Attico genere ponit, hoc recte dumtaxat,

Cic. Brut. 82, 285:

nos animo dumtaxat vigemus,

id. Att. 4, 3 fin.:

sint ista pulchriora dumtaxat adspectu,

id. N. D. 2, 18, 47; id. Div. 2, 43, 90; id. Deiot. 1, 1; Hirt. B. Afr. 90; Dig. 4, 3, 17, § 1: dumtaxat de peculio, as far as relates to the peculium, Edict. Praet. ap. Dig. 15, 2, 1; Dig. 14, 4, 7, § 5.—

Hence, defining a limit, either as maximum or as minimum, exactly, of the proper measure, which may be not more, or not less.

( Not more, i. e.) Only, simply, merely = tantummodo.

Esp. in specifying numbers and amounts: MITTANTVR MVLIERES LIBERAE DVMTAXAT QVINQVE, Edict. Praet. ap. Dig. 25, 4, 1, § 10 med.: secum duxerit dum taxat homines IIL. (= duodequinquaginta), Lex. Acil. Repet. 32; Cato, R. R. 49 (quoted in Plin. 17, 22, 35, § 198):

ut consules potestatem haberent tempore dumtaxat annuam, genere ipso ac jure regiam,

Cic. Rep. 2, 32; in tmesis: eum quis volet magistratus multare, dum minore parti familiae taxat, liceto, Lex Silia A. U. C. 510, Huschke, Jurisp. Antejust. p. 10.—

In gen., in other restrictive applications:

dumtaxat, ut hoc promittere possis, etc.,

Lucr. 3, 378: peditatu dumtaxat procul ad speciem utitur, equites in aciem mittit, * Caes. B. C. 2, 41, 2: Cato enim dumtaxat de magnitudine animi, etc., simply, Cic. Par. ad prooem. 3; id. N. D. 1, 38, 107; 1, 44, 123; id. Ep. ad Brut. 3; id. de Or. 2, 27, 119; Liv. 10, 25; Tac. G. 25; Suet. Caes. 55; 75; Hor. S. 2, 6, 42 et saep.; Curt. 4, 42; 9, 36 al.—

So, non dumtaxat = non modo:

non rebus dumtaxat, sed etiam moribus, etc.,

Dig. 26, 7, 12, § 3:

non eos dumtaxat, sed omnes, etc.,

ib. 50, 16, 235; cf.:

nec dumtaxat animum vobis fidelem praestitit, sed omnibus interfuit bellis, etc.,

Liv. 37, 53, 9.—

( Not less, i. e.) At least = saltem.

Like A. 1., esp. in numerical specifications: obsonari dumtaxat ad minam, * Plaut. Truc. 2, 4, 91: cum in testamento scriptum esset, [p. 619] ut heres in funere aut in monumento DVMTAXAT AVREOS CENTVM consumeret, non licet minus consumere, si amplius vellet, licet, Dig. 50, 16, 202:

statim Arpinum irem, ni te in Formiano commodissime exspectari viderem, dumtaxat ad prid. Non. Mai.,

Cic. Att. 2, 14; cf.:

IBI EPVLENTVR DVMTAXAT IN V. ID. IVL.,

Inscr. Orell. 707.—

In gen., in other restrictive applications:

valde me Athenae delectarunt: urbs dumtaxat et urbis ornamentum,

Cic. Att. 5, 10, 5; cf. id. ib. 2, 18, 2; id. Fam. 12, 1; id. Mil. 2, 5; id. de Or. 1, 58, 249; id. Lael. 15, 53 al.: Cels. 5, 26; Sen. Ben. 5, 2; id. Ep. 58; Quint. 1, 4, 20; 2, 10, 2; Hor. A. P. 23:

non tantum virtutes cujusque digne prosecutus, sed vitia quoque et delicta, dumtaxat modica, perpessus,

at least, Suet. Aug. 66.—

In a very few passages dumtaxat approaches so nearly in meaning to dummodo that it may be rendered by a conjunction in Eng., provided that:

qui, cum luxuriose viverent, non reprehenderentur eo nomine dumtaxat cetera caverent,

Cic. Fin. 2, 7, 21; cf. Suet. Aug. 66 supra; v. Hand, Turs. II. pp. 330-339.

forma, ae, f. [Sanscr. dhar-, dhar-āmi, bear; dhar-i-man, figure; Gr. thra- in thrênus, thronos; cf. Lat. frētus, frēnum, fortis, etc.], form, in the most comprehensive sense of the word, contour, figure, shape, appearance (syn.: species, frons, facies, vultus; figura).

Lit.

In philos. lang., like species, a sort, kind: nolim, ne si Latine quidem dici possit, specierum et speciebus dicere; et saepe his casibus utendum est: at formis et formarum velim... Genus et formam definiunt hoc modo: genus est notio ad plures differentias pertinens;

forma est notio, cujus differentia ad caput generis et quasi fontem referri potest. Formae igitur sunt hae, in quas genus sine ullius praetermissione dividitur, ut si quis jus in legem, morem, aequitatem dividat, etc.,
