As jurid. term.

In both a causative and neuter sense = to produce in court, or to appear in court after being bound over by the judge or by promise to the adversary (vadimonium); constr. either absol. or with the dat. of the adversary to whom the promise is made (alicui sisti), to appear upon somebody's demand; also, in judicio sisti. The present active is either used reflexively (se sistere = to appear), or with a transitive object (sistere aliquem = to produce in court one in whose behalf the promise has been made). The present passive, sisti, sistendus, sistitur, = to appear or to be produced. The perfect act., stiti, stitisse, rarely the perfect passive, status sum, = to have appeared, I appeared. So in all periods of the language:

cum autem in jus vocatus fuerit adversarius, ni eo die finitum fuerit negotium, vadimonium ei faciendum est, id est ut promittat se certo die sisti,

Gai. 4, 184:

fit ut Alfenus promittat, Naevio sisti Quinctium,

that Quinctius would be forthcoming upon Naevius's complaint, Cic. Quint. 21, 67; cf. id. ib. 8, 30 (v. infra, B.):

testificatur, P. Quinctium non stitisse, et se stitisse,

id. ib. 6, 25:

quin puellam sistendam promittat (= fore ut puella sistatur in judicio),

Liv. 3, 45, 3:

interrogavit quisquam, in quem diem locumque vadimonium promitti juberet, et Scipio manum ad ipsam oppidi, quod obsidebatur, arcem protendens: Perendie sese sistant illo in loco,

Gell. 7, 1, 10:

si quis quendam in judicio sisti promiserit, in eādem causā eum debet sistere,

Dig. 2, 11, 11:

si servum in eādem causā sistere promiserit, et liber factus sistatur,... non recte sistitur,

ib. 2, 9, 5:

sed si statu liberum sisti promissum sit, in eādem causā sisti videtur, quamvis liber sistatur,

ib. 2, 9, 6:

cum quis in judicio sisti promiserit, neque adjecerit poenam si status non esset,

ib. 2, 6, 4:

si quis in judicio secundum suam promissionem non stitit,

ib. 2, 11, 2, § 1; cf. ib. 2, 5, 1; 2, 8, 2; 2, 11, 2, § 3.—

Vadimonium sistere, to present one's self in court, thus keeping the solemn engagement (vadimonium) made to that effect; lit., to make the vadimonium stand, i. e. effective, opp. deserere vadimonium = not to appear, to forfeit the vadimonium. The phrase does not occur in the jurists of the Pandects, the institution of the vadimonium being abolished by Marcus Aurelius. It is found in the following three places only: quid si vadimonium capite obvoluto stitisses? Cat. ap. Gell. 2, 14, 1: ut Quinctium sisti Alfenus promitteret. Venit Romam Quinctius;

vadimonium sistit,

Cic. Quint. 8, 30:

ut nullum illa stiterit vadimonium sine Attico,

Nep. Att. 9; Gai. 4, 185; cf. diem sistere under status, P. a. infra.—

Transf., out of judicial usage, in gen., = to appear or present one's self, quasi ex vadimonio; constr. absol. or with dat. of the person entitled to demand the appearance:

ubi tu es qui me vadatus's Veneriis vadimoniis? Sisto ego tibi me, et mihi contra itidem ted ut sistas suadeo (of a lover's appointment),

Plaut. Curc. 1, 3, 5; so,

tibi amatorem illum alacrem vadimonio sistam,

produce, App. M. 9, p. 227, 14:

nam promisimus carnufici aut talentum magnum, aut hunc hodie sistere,

Plaut. Rud. 3, 4, 73:

vas factus est alter ejus sistendi, ut si ille non revertisset, moriendum esset sibi,

Cic. Off. 3, 10, 45. —

Fana sistere, acc. to Festus anciently used, either = to place ( secure and fix places for) temples in founding a city, or to place the couches in the lectisternia:

sistere fana, cum in urbe condendā dicitur, significat loca in oppido futurorum fanorum constituere: quamquam Antistius Labeo, in commentario XV. juris pontificii ait fana sistere esse lectisternia certis locis et diebus habere,

Fest. p. 267 Lind. To this usage Plaut. perh. alludes:

apud illas aedis sistendae mihi sunt sycophantiae,

the place about that house I must make the scene of my tricks, Plaut. Trin. 4, 2, 25.—

Impers. and trop., to arrest or avoid an impending misfortune, or to stand, i. e. to endure; generally in the form sisti non potest (more rarely: sisti potest) = it cannot be endured, a disaster cannot be avoided or met (once in Plaut.; freq. in Liv.; sometimes in Tac.; cf., in gen., Brix ad Plaut. Trin. 720; Drak. ad Liv. 3, 16, 4; Weissenb. ad Liv. 2, 29, 8; Gronov. ad Liv. 4, 12, 6; Beneke ad Just. 11, 1, 6).

Without a subject, res or a noun of general import being understood:

quid ego nunc agam, nisi ut clipeum ad dorsum accommodem, etc.? Non sisti potest,

it is intolerable, Plaut. Trin. 3, 2, 94:

totam plebem aere alieno demersam esse, nec sisti posse nisi omnibus consulatur,

Liv. 2, 29, 8:

si domestica seditio adiciatur, sisti non posse,

the situation will be desperate, id. 45, 19, 3:

si quem similem priore anno dedissent, non potuisse sisti,

id. 3, 9, 8:

vixque concordiā sisti videbatur,

that the crisis could scarcely be met, even by harmonious action, id. 3, 16, 4:

qualicunque urbis statu, manente disciplinā militari sisti potuisse,

these evils were endurable, id. 2, 44, 10: exercitum gravi morbo affectari, nec sisti potuisse ni, etc., it would have ended in disaster, if not, etc., id. 29, 10, 1:

qui omnes populi si pariter deficiant, sisti nullo modo posse,

Just. 11, 1, 6 Gronov. ad loc.; cf. Liv. 3, 20, 8 supra, II. A. 1.— Rarely with a subject-clause understood: nec jam sisti poterat, and it was no longer tolerable, i. e. that Nero should disgrace himself, etc., Tac. A. 14, 14.—

Rarely with quin, to prevent etc. (pregn., implying also the stopping of something; cf.

supra, III. B. 1.): neque sisti potuit quin et palatium et domus et cuncta circum haurirentur (igni),

Tac. A. 15, 39.—Hence, stătus, a, um, P. a., as attribute of nouns, occurs in several conventional phrases, as relics of archaic usage.

Status (condictusve) dies cum hoste, in the XII. Tables, = a day of trial fixed by the judge or agreed upon with the adversary;

esp., a peregrinus (= hostis),

Cic. Off. 1, 12, 37. It presupposes a phrase, diem sistere, prob.=vadimonium sistere (v. supra, I. C. 2.). Such an appointment was an excuse from the most important public duties, even for soldiers from joining the army, Cinc. ap. Gell. 16, 4, 4.—

Hence, transf.: si status condictus cum hoste intercedit dies, tamen est eundum quo imperant,

i. e. under all circumstances we must go, Plaut. Curc. 1, 1, 5.—

In certain phrases, appointed, fixed, regular (cf. statutus, with which it is often confounded in MSS.):

status dies: tres in anno statos dies habere quibus, etc.,

Liv. 39, 13, 8:

stato loco statisque diebus,

id. 42, 32, 2; so id. 5, 52, 2; 27, 23 fin.:

status sacrificii dies,

Flor. 1, 3, 16:

Tac. A. 12, 13; id. H. 4, 81; Plin. 11, 37, 65, § 173:

stata tempora (partus),

Stat. Achill. 2, 673:

adeo in illā plagā mundus statas vices temporum mutat,

Curt. 8, 19, 13; so id. 9, 9, 9; 5, 1, 23; so, feriae, etc.: feriae statae appellabantur quod certo statutoque die observarentur, Paul. ex Fest. p. 69 Lind.:

stata quinquennia,

Stat. S. 5, 3, 113:

stata sacra or sacrificia: stata sacrificia sunt quae certis diebus fieri debent,

Fest. p. 264 Lind.:

proficiscuntur Aeniam ad statum sacrificium,

Liv. 40, 4, 9; 23, 35, 3; 5, 46, 2; 39, 13, 8; Cic. Mil. 17, 45:

solemne et statum sacrificium (al. statutum),

id. Tusc. 1, 47, 113; so Liv. 23, 35, 3:

stata sacra,

Ov. F. 2, 528; Stat. Th. 1, 666:

stata foedera,

id. ib. 11, 380:

status flatus,

Sen. Ben. 4, 28:

stati cursus siderum,

Plin. 18, 29, 69, § 291 (different: statae stellae = fixed stars, Censor. D. N. 8, belonging to II. 2. supra): statae febres, intermittent fevers, returning regularly, Plin. 28, 27, 28, § 107.—

Moderate, average, normal:

inter enim pulcherrimam feminam et deformissimam media forma quaedam est, quae et a nimio pulcritudinis periculo et a summo deformitatis odio vacat, qualis a Q. Ennio perquam eleganti vocabulo stata dicitur...Ennius autem eas fere feminas ait incolumi pudicitia esse quae statā formā forent,

Gell. 5, 11, 12 -14 (v. Enn. Trag. p. 133 Vahl.).

ăb, ā, abs, prep. with abl. This IndoEuropean particle (Sanscr. apa or ava, Etr. av, Gr. upo, Goth. af, Old Germ. aba, New Germ. ab, Engl. of, off) has in Latin the following forms: ap, af, ab (av), au-, a, a; aps, abs, as-. The existence of the oldest form, ap, is proved by the oldest and best MSS. analogous to the prep. apud, the Sanscr. api, and Gr. epi, and by the weakened form af, which, by the rule of historical grammar and the nature of the Latin letter f, can be derived only from ap, not from ab. The form af, weakened from ap, also very soon became obsolete. There are but five examples of it in inscriptions, at the end of the sixth and in the course of the seventh century B. C., viz.:

AF VOBEIS,

Inscr. Orell. 3114;

AF MVRO,

ib. 6601;

AF CAPVA,

ib. 3308;

AF SOLO,

ib. 589;

AF LYCO,

ib. 3036 ( afuolunt =avolant, Paul. ex Fest. p. 26 Mull., is only a conjecture). In the time of Cicero this form was regarded as archaic, and only here and there used in account-books; v. Cic. Or. 47, 158 (where the correct reading is af, not abs or ab), and cf. Ritschl, Monum. Epigr. p. 7 sq.—The second form of this preposition, changed from ap, was ab, which has become the principal form and the one most generally used through all periods—and indeed the only oue used before all vowels and h; here and there also before some consonants, particularly l, n, r, and s; rarely before c, j, d, t; and almost never before the labials p, b, f, v, or before m, such examples as ab Massiliensibus, Caes. B. C. 1, 35, being of the most rare occurrence.—By changing the b of ab through v into u, the form au originated, which was in use only in the two compounds aufero and aufugio for abfero, ab-fugio; aufuisse for afuisse, in Cod. Medic. of Tac. A. 12, 17, is altogether unusual. Finally, by dropping the b of ab, and lengthening the a, ab was changed into a, which form, together with ab, predominated through all periods of the Latin language, and took its place before all consonants in the later years of Cicero, and after him almoet exclusively.—By dropping the b without lengthening the a, ab occurs in the form a- in the two compounds a-bio and a-perio, q. v.—On the other hand, instead of reducing ap to a and a, a strengthened collateral form, aps, was made by adding to ap the letter s (also used in particles, as in ex, mox, vix). From the first, aps was used only before the letters c, q, t, and was very soon changed into abs (as ap into ab):

abs chorago,

Plaut. Pers. 1, 3, 79 (159 Ritschl):

abs quivis,

Ter. Ad. 2, 3, 1:

abs terra,

Cato, R. R. 51;

and in compounds: aps-cessero,

Plaut. Trin. 3, 1, 24 (625 R.); id. ib. 3, 2, 84 (710 R): abs-condo, abs-que, abs-tineo, etc. The use of abs was confined almost exclusively to the combination abs te during the whole ante-classic period, and with Cicero till about the year 700 A. U. C. (=B. C. 54). After that time Cicero evidently hesitates between abs te and a te, but during the last five or six years of his life a te became predominant in all his writings, even in his letters; consequently abs te appears but rarely in later authors, as in Liv. 10, 19, 8; 26, 15, 12;

and who, perhaps, also used abs conscendentibus,

id. 28, 37, 2; v. Drakenb. ad. h. l. (Weissenb. ab).—Finally abs, in consequence of the following p, lost its b, and became ds- in the three compounds aspello, as-porto, and as-pernor (for asspernor); v. these words.—The late Lat. verb abbrevio may stand for adbrevio, the d of ad being assimilated to the following b.The fundamental signification of ab is departure from some fixed point (opp. to ad. which denotes motion to a point).

In space, and,

Fig., in time and other relations, in which the idea of departure from some point, as from source and origin, is included; Engl. from, away from, out of; down from; since, after; by, at, in, on, etc.

Lit., in space: ab classe ad urbem tendunt, Att. ap. Non. 495, 22 (Trag. Rel. p. 177 Rib.):

Caesar maturat ab urbe proficisci,

Caes. B. G. 1, 7:

fuga ab urbe turpissima,

Cic. Att. 7, 21:

ducite ab urbe domum, ducite Daphnim,

Verg. E. 8, 68. Cicero himself gives the difference between ab and ex thus: si qui mihi praesto fuerit cum armatis hominibus extra meum fundum et me introire prohibuerit, non ex eo, sed ab ( from, away from) eo loco me dejecerit....Unde dejecti Galli? A Capitolio. Unde, qui cum Graccho fucrunt? Ex Capitolio, etc., Cic. Caecin. 30, 87; cf. Diom. p. 408 P., and a similar distinction between ad and in under ad.—Ellipt.: Diogenes Alexandro roganti, ut diceret, si quid opus esset: Nunc quidem paululum, inquit, a sole, a little out of the sun, Cic. Tusc. 5, 32, 92. —Often joined with usque:

illam (mulierem) usque a mari supero Romam proficisci,

all the way from, Cic. Clu. 68, 192; v. usque, I.—And with ad, to denote the space passed over: siderum genus ab ortu ad occasum commeant, from... to, Cic. N. D. 2, 19 init.; cf. ab... in:

venti a laevo latere in dextrum, ut sol, ambiunt,

Plin. 2, 47, 48, § 128.

Sometimes with names of cities and small islands, or with domus (instead of the usual abl.), partie., in militnry and nautieal language, to denote the marching of soldiers, the setting out of a flcet, or the departure of the inhabitants from some place:

oppidum ab Aenea fugiente a Troja conditum,

Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 33:

quemadmodum (Caesar) a Gergovia discederet,

Caes. B. G. 7, 43 fin.; so id. ib. 7, 80 fin.; Sall. J. 61; 82; 91; Liv. 2, 33, 6 al.; cf.:

ab Arimino M. Antonium cum cohortibus quinque Arretium mittit,

Caes. B. C. 1, 11 fin.; and:

protinus a Corfinio in Siciliam miserat,

of citizens: interim ab Roma legatos venisse nuntiatum est,

Liv. 21, 9, 3; cf.:

legati ab Orico ad M. Valerium praetorem venerunt,

id. 24, 40, 2.

Sometimes with names of persons or with pronouns: pestem abige a me, Enn. ap. Cic. Ac. 2, 28, 89 (Trag. v. 50 Vahl.):

Quasi ad adulescentem a patre ex Seleucia veniat,

Plaut. Trin. 3, 3, 41; cf.:

libertus a Fuflis cum litteris ad Hermippum venit,

Cic. Fl. 20, 47:

Nigidium a Domitio Capuam venisse,

id. Att. 7, 24:

cum a vobis discessero,

id. Sen. 22:

multa merces tibi defluat ab Jove Neptunoque,

Hor. C. 1, 28, 29 al. So often of a person instead of his house, lodging, etc.: videat forte hic te a patre aliquis exiens, from the father, i. e. from his house, Ter. Heaut. 2, 2, 6:

so a fratre,

id. Phorm. 5, 1, 5:

a Pontio,

Cic. Att. 5, 3 fin.:

ab ea,

Ter. And. 1, 3, 21; and so often: a me, a nobis, a se, etc., from my, our, his house, etc., Plaut. Stich. 5, 1, 7; Ter. Heaut. 3, 2, 50; Cic. Att. 4, 9, 1 al.

Transf., without the idea of motion. To designate separation or distance, with the verbs abesse, distare, etc., and with the particles longe, procul, prope, etc.

Of separation:

Cic. N. D. 2, 66, 164:

non amplius pedum milibus duobus ab castris castra distabant,

Caes. B. C. 1, 82, 3; cf. id. lb. 1, 3, 103.—With adverbs: annos multos longinque ab domo bellum gerentes, Enn. ap. Non. 402, 3 (Trag. v. 103 Vahl.):

cum domus patris a foro longe abesset,

Cic. Cael. 7, 18 fin.; cf.:

tu apud socrum tuam prope a meis aedibus sedebas,

id. Pis. 11, 26; and:

eight miles distant, Caes. B. G. 4, 22, 4; and without mentioning the terminus a quo: ad castra contenderunt, et ab milibus passunm minus duobus castra posuerunt, less than two miles off or distant, id. ib. 2, 7, 3; so id. ib. 2, 5, 32; 6, 7, 3; id. B. C. 1, 65; Liv. 38, 20, 2 (for which:

duo milia fere et quingentos passus ab hoste posuerunt castra,

id. 37, 38, 5). —

To denote the side or direction from which an object is viewed in its local relations,=a parte, at, on, in: utrum hacin feriam an ab laeva latus? Enn. ap. Plaut. Cist. 3, 10 (Trag. v. 38 Vahl.); cf.:

picus et cornix ab laeva, corvos, parra ab dextera consuadent,

Plaut. As. 2, 1, 12: clamore ab ea parte audito. on this side, Caes. B. G. 3, 26, 4: Gallia Celtica attingit ab Sequanis et Helvetiis flumen Rhenum, on the side of the Sequani, i. e. their country, id. ib. 1, 1, 5:

In time.

From a [p. 3] point of time, without reference to the period subsequently elapsed. After:

Exul ab octava Marius bibit,

Juv. 1,40:

mulieres jam ab re divin[adot ] adparebunt domi,

immediately after the sucrifice, Plaut. Poen. 3, 3, 4:

Caesar ab decimae legionis cohortatione ad dextrum cornu profectus,

Caes. B. G. 2, 25, 1:

ab hac contione legati missi sunt,

ab eo magistratu,

after this office, Sall. J. 63, 5:

a summa spe novissima exspectabat,

soon after their time, Cic. N. D. 3, 5; so Varr. R. R. 2, 8, 2; Verg. A. 6, 450 al. (v. also primum, confestim, etc.).—

Sometimes with the name of a person or place, instead of an action: ibi mihi tuae litterae binae redditae sunt tertio abs te die,

i. e. after their departure from you, Cic. Att. 5, 3, 1: in Italiam perventum est quinto mense a Carthagine Nov[adot ], i. e. after leaving (=postquam a Carthagine profecti sunt), Liv. 21, 38, 1:

secundo Punico (bello) Scipionis classis XL. die a securi navigavit,

i. e. after its having been built, Plin. 16, 39, 74, § 192. —Hence the poct. expression: ab his, after this (cf. ek toutôn), i. e. after these words, hereupon, Ov. M. 3, 273; 4, 329; 8, 612; 9, 764.

With reference to a subsequent period. From, since, after:

since the time of, Cic. Vat. 8, 20:

jam inde ab infelici pugna ceciderant animi,

from the very beginning of, Liv. 2, 65 fin. —Hence the adverbial expressions ab initio, a principio, a primo, at, in, or from the beginning, at first; v. initium, principium, primus. Likewise ab integro, anew, afresh; v. integer.—Ab... ad, from (a time)... to:

ab hora octava ad vesperum secreto collocuti sumus,

pugnata pugnast usque a mane ad vesperum,

from morning to evening, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 97; id. Most. 3, 1, 3; 3, 2, 80.—Rarely ab... in: Romani ab sole orto in multum diei stetere in acie, from... till late in the day, Liv. 27, 2, 9; so Col. 2, 10, 17; Plin. 2, 31, 31, § 99; 2, 103, 106, § 229; 4, 12, 26, § 89.

Particularly with nouns denoting a time of life:

In other relations in which the idea of going forth, proceeding, from something is included.

In gen. to denote departure, separation, deterring, avoiding, intermitting, etc., or distance, difference, etc., of inanimate or abstract things. From: jus atque aecum se a malis spernit procul, Enn. ap. Non. 399, 10 (Trag. v. 224 Vahl.):

ut homines adulescentis a dicendi studio deterream,

Cic. de Or. 1, 25, 117, etc.—Of distance (in order, rank, mind, or feeling):

qui quartus ab Arcesila fuit,

the fourth in succession from, Cic. Ac. 1, 12, 46:

tu nunc eris alter ab illo,

next after him, Verg. E. 5, 49; cf.:

Aiax, heros ab Achille secundus,

next in rank to, Hor. S. 2, 3, 193:

quid hoc ab illo differt,

from, Cic. Caecin. 14, 39; cf.:

hominum vita tantum distat a victu et cultu bestiarum,

id. Off. 2, 4, 15; and:

discrepare ab aequitate sapientiam,

id. Rep. 3, 9 fin. (v. the verbs differo, disto, discrepo, dissideo, dissentio, etc.):

quae non aliena esse ducerem a dignitate,

Cic. Fam. 4, 7:

alieno a te animo fuit,

id. Deiot. 9, 24 (v. alienus). —So the expression ab re (qs. aside from the matter, profit; cf. the opposite, in rem), contrary to one's profit, to a loss, disadvantageous (so in the affirmative very rare and only ante-class.):

subdole ab re consulit,

Plaut. Trin. 2, 1, 12; cf. id. Capt. 2, 2, 88; more frequently and class. (but not with Cicero) in the negative, non, haud, ab re, not without advantage or profit, not useless or unprofitable, adcantageous:

haut est ab re aucupis,

Plaut. As. 1, 3, 71:

non ab re esse Quinctii visum est,

Liv. 35, 32, 6; so Plin. 27, 8, 35; 31, 3, 26; Suet. Aug. 94; id. Dom. 11; Gell. 18, 14 fin.; App. Dogm. Plat. 3, p. 31, 22 al. (but in Ter. Ad. 5, 3, 44, ab re means with respect to the money matter).

In partic.

To denote an agent from whom an action proceeds, or by whom a thing is done or takes place. By, and in archaic and solemn style, of. So most frequently with pass. or intrans. verbs with pass. signif., when the active object is or is considered as a living being: Laudari me abs te, a laudato viro, Naev. ap. Cic. Tusc. 4, 31, 67: injuria abs te afficior, Enn. ap. Auct. Her. 2, 24, 38:

a patre deductus ad Scaevolam,

Cic. Lael. 1, 1:

ut tamquam a praesentibus coram haberi sermo videretur,

id. ib. 1, 3:

disputata ab eo,

id. ib. 1, 4 al.:

illa (i. e. numerorum ac vocum vis) maxime a Graecia vetere celebrata,

id. de Or. 3, 51, 197:

ita generati a natura sumus,

id. Off. 1, 29, 103; cf.:

pars mundi damnata a rerum natura,

Plin. 4, 12, 26, § 88:

niagna adhibita cura est a providentia deorum,

Cic. N. D. 2, 51 al. —With intrans. verbs:

quae (i. e. anima) calescit ab eo spiritu,

is warmed by this breath, Cic. N. D. 2, 55, 138; cf. Ov. M. 1, 417: (mare) qua a sole collucet, Cic. Ac. 2, 105:

salvebis a meo Cicerone,

i. e. young Cicero sends his compliments to you, id. Att. 6, 2 fin.:

a quibus (Atheniensibus) erat profectus,

i. e. by whose command, Nep. Milt. 2, 3:

ne vir ab hoste cadat,

Ov. H. 9, 36 al. —A substantive or adjective often takes the place of the verb (so with de, q. v.):

levior est plaga ab amico quam a debitore,

Cic. Fam. 9, 16, 7; cf.:

a bestiis ictus, morsus, impetus,

id. Off. 2, 6, 19:

si calor est a sole,

id. N. D. 2, 52:

ex iis a te verbis (for a te scriptis),

id. Att. 16, 7, 5:

metu poenae a Romanis,

Liv. 32, 23, 9:

bellum ingens a Volscis et Aequis,

id. 3, 22, 2:

ad exsolvendam fldem a consule,

id. 27, 5, 6.—With an adj.:

lassus ab equo indomito,

Hor. S. 2, 2, 10:

Murus ab ingenic notior ille tuo,

Prop. 5, 1, 126:

tempus a nostris triste malis,

time made sad by our misfortunes, Ov. Tr. 4, 3, 36.—Different from per:

vulgo occidebantur: per quos et a quibus?

by whom and upon whose orders? Cic. Rosc. Am. 29, 80 (cf. id. ib. 34, 97: cujus consilio occisus sit, invenio; cujus manu sit percussus, non laboro); so,

ab hoc destitutus per Thrasybulum (i. e. Thrasybulo auctore),

Nep. Alc. 5, 4.—Ambiguity sometimes arises from the fact that the verb in the pass. would require ab if used in the active:

si postulatur a populo,

if the people demand it, Cic. Off. 2, 17, 58, might also mean, if it is required of the people; on the contrary: quod ab eo (Lucullo) laus imperatoria non admodum exspectabatur, not since he did not expect military renown, but since they did not expect military renown from him, Cic. Ac. 2, 1, 2, and so often; cf. Rudd. II. p. 213. (The use of the active dative, or dative of the agent, instead of ab with the pass., is well known, Zumpt, § 419. It is very seldom found in prose writers of the golden age of Roman liter.; with Cic. sometimes joined with the participles auditus, cognitus, constitutus, perspectus, provisus, susceptus; cf. Halm ad Cic. Imp. Pomp. 24, 71, and ad ejusdem, Cat. 1, 7 fin.; but freq. at a later period; e. g. in Pliny, in Books 2-4 of H. N., more than twenty times; and likewise in Tacitus seventeen times. Vid. the passages in Nipperd. ad Tac. A. 2, 49.) Far more unusual is the simple abl. in the designation of persons:

deseror conjuge,

Ov. H. 12, 161; so id. ib. 5, 75; id. M. 1, 747; Verg. A. 1, 274; Hor. C. 2, 4, 9; 1, 6, 2;

and in prose,

Quint. 3, 4, 2; Sen. Contr. 2, 1; Curt. 6, 7, 8; cf. Rudd. II. p. 212; Zumpt ad Quint. V. p. 122 Spalding.—Hence the adverbial phrase a se=uph heautou, sua sponte, of one's own uccord, spontaneously:

ipsum a se oritur et sua sponte nascitur,

Cic. Fin. 2, 24, 78:

(urna) ab se cantat quoja sit,

Plaut. Rud. 2, 5, 21 (al. eapse; cf. id. Men. 1, 2, 66); so Col. 11, 1, 5; Liv. 44, 33, 6.

With names of towns to denote origin, extraction, instead of gentile adjectives. From, of:

pastores a Pergamide,

Varr. R. R. 2, 2, 1:

Turnus ab Aricia,

Liv. 1, 50, 3 (for which Aricinus, id. 1, 51, 1):

obsides dant trecentos principum a Cora atque Pometia liberos,

Liv. 2, 22, 2; and poet.: O longa mundi servator ab Alba, Auguste, thou who art descended from the old Alban race of kings (=oriundus, or ortus regibus Albanis), Prop. 5, 6, 37.

In giving the etymology of a name: eam rem (sc. legem, Gr. nomon) illi Graeco putant nomine a suum cuique tribuendo appellatam, ego nostro a legendo, Cic. Leg. 1, 6, 19: annum intervallum regni fuit: id ab re... interregnum appellatum, Liv. 1, 17, 6:

(sinus maris) ab nomine propinquae urbis Ambracius appellatus,

id. 38, 4, 3; and so Varro in his Ling. Lat., and Pliny, in Books 1-5 of H. N., on almost every page. (Cf. also the arts. ex and de.)

With verbs of beginning and repeating: a summo bibere, in Plaut. to drink in succession from the one at the head of the table:

da, puere, ab summo,

Plaut. As. 5, 2, 41; so,

da ab Delphio cantharum circum, id Most. 1, 4, 33: ab eo nobis causa ordienda est potissimum,

Cic. Leg. 1, 7, 21:

coepere a fame mala,

Liv. 4, 12, 7:

cornicem a cauda de ovo exire,

tail-foremost, Plin. 10, 16, 18:

a capite repetis, quod quaerimus,

Cic. Leg. 1, 6, 18 al.

With verbs of freeing from, defending, or protecting against any thing:

a foliis et stercore purgato,

Cato, R. R. 65 (66), 1:

tantumne ab re tuast oti tibi?

Ter. Heaut. 1, [p. 4] 1, 23; cf.:

Saguntini ut a proeliis quietem habuerant,

Liv. 21, 11, 5:

expiandum forum ab illis nefarii sceleris vestigiis,

Cic. Rab. Perd. 4, 11:

haec provincia non modo a calamitate, sed etiam a metu calamitatis est defendenda,

id. Imp. Pomp. 6, 14 (v. defendo):

ab incendio urbem vigiliis munitam intellegebat,

Sall. C. 32:

ut neque sustinere se a lapsu possent,

Liv. 21, 35, 12:

ut meam domum metueret atque a me ipso caveret,

Cic. Sest. 64, 133.

With verbs of expecting, fearing, hoping, and the like, ab =a parte, as, Cic. Att. 9, 7, 4: cum eadem metuam ab hac parte, since I fear the same from this side; hence, timere, metuere ab aliquo, not, to be afraid of any one, but, to fear something (proceeding from) from him:

el metul a Chryside,

Ter. And. 1, 1, 79; cf.:

ab Hannibale metuens,

Liv. 23, 36; and:

metus a praetore,

id. 23, 15, 7;

v. Weissenb. ad h. l.: a quo quidem genere, judices, ego numquam timui,

Cic. Sull. 20, 59:

postquam nec ab Romanis robis ulla est spes,

you can expect nothing from the Romans, Liv. 21, 13, 4.

With verbs of fastening and holding:

funiculus a puppi religatus,

Cic. Inv. 2, 51, 154:

cum sinistra capillum ejus a vertice teneret,

Q. Cic. Pet. Cons. 3.

Ulcisci se ab aliquo, to take vengeance on one:

a ferro sanguis humanus se ulciscitur,

Plin. 34, 14, 41 fin.

Cognoscere ab aliqua re to knoio or learn by means of something (different from ab aliquo, to learn from some one):

id se a Gallicis armis atque insignibus cognovisse,

Caes. B. G. 1, 22.

Dolere, laborare, valere ab, instead of the simple abl.:

doleo ab animo, doleo ab oculis, doleo ab aegritudine,

Plaut. Cist. 1, 1, 62:

a morbo valui, ab animo aeger fui,

id. Ep. 1, 2, 26; cf. id. Aul. 2, 2, 9:

a frigore et aestu ne quid laborent,

Varr. R. R. 2, 2, 17; so,

a frigore laborantibus,

Plin. 32, 10, 46, § 133; cf.:

laborare ab re frumentaria,

Caes. B. G. 7, 10, 1; id. B. C. 3, 9; v. laboro.

Where verbs and adjectives are joined with ab, instead of the simple abl., ab defines more exactly the respect in which that which is expressed by the verb or adj. is to be understood, in relation to, with regard to, in respect to, on the part of:

ab ingenio improbus,

Plaut. Truc. 4, 3, 59:

a me pudica'st,

id. Curc. 1, 1, 51:

orba ab optimatibus contio,

Cic. Fl. 23, 54; ro Ov. H. 6,156: securos vos ab hac parte reddemus, Planc. ap. Cic. Fam. 10, 24 fin. (v. securus):

locus copiosus a frumento,

Cic. Att. 5, 18, 2; cf.:

sumus imparati cum a militibas tum a pecunia,

id. ib. 7, 15 fin.:

ille Graecus ab omni laude felicior,

id. Brut. 16, 63:

ab una parte haud satis prosperuin,

Liv. 1, 32, 2 al.;

so often in poets ab arte=arte,

artfully, Tib. 1, 5, 4; 1, 9, 66; Ov. Am. 2, 4, 30.

In the statement of the motive instead of ex, propter, or the simple abl. causae, from, out of, on account of, in consequence of: ab singulari amore scribo, Balb. ap. Cic. Att. 9, 7, B fin.:

linguam ab irrisu exserentem,

thrusting out the tongue in derision, Liv. 7, 10, 5:

ab honore,

id. 1, 8; so, ab ira, a spe, ab odio, v. Drak. ad Liv. 24, 30, 1: 26, 1, 3; cf. also Kritz and Fabri ad Sall. J. 31, 3, and Fabri ad Liv. 21, 36, 7.

Especially in the poets instead of the gen.:

ab illo injuria,

Ter. And. 1, 1, 129:

fulgor ab auro,

Lucr. 2, 5:

dulces a fontibus undae,

Verg. G. 2, 243.

In indicating a part of the whole, for the more usual ex, of, out of:

scuto ab novissimis uni militi detracto,

Caes. B. G. 2, 25, 1:

nonnuill ab novissimis,

id. ib.; Cic. Sest. 65, 137; cf. id. ib. 59 fin.: a quibus (captivis) ad Senatum missus (Regulus).

In marking that from which any thing proceeds, and to which it belongs:

qui sunt ab ea disciplina,

Cic. Tusc. 2, 3, 7:

ab eo qui sunt,

id. Fin. 4, 3, 7:

nostri illi a Platone et Aristotele aiunt,

id. Mur. 30, 63 (in imitation of oi upo tinos).

To designate an office or dignity (with or without servus; so not freq. till after the Aug. period;

in Cic. only once): Pollex, servus a pedibus meus,

one of my couriers, Cic. Att. 8, 5, 1; so,

a manu servus,

a secretary, Suet. Caes. 74: Narcissum ab eplstulis ( secretary) et Pallantem a rationibus ( accountant), id. Claud. 28; and so, ab actis, ab admissione, ab aegris, ab apotheca, ab argento, a balneis, a bibliotheca, a codicillis, a jumentis, a potione, etc. (v. these words and Inscr. Orell. vol. 3, Ind. xi. p. 181 sq.).

The use of ab before adverbs is for the most part peculiar to later Latinity:

a peregre,

Vitr. 5, 7 (6), 8:

a foris,

Plin. 17, 24, 37; Vulg. Gen, 7, 16; ib. Matt. 23, 27:

ab intus,

ib. ib. 7, 15:

ab invicem,

App. Herb. 112; Vulg. Matt. 25, 32; Cypr. Ep. 63, 9: Hier. Ep. 18:

a longe,

Hyg. Fab. 257; Vulg. Gen. 22, 4; ib. Matt. 26, 58:

a modo,

ib. ib. 23, 39;

Hier. Vit. Hilar.: a nune,

Vulg. Luc. 1, 48:

a sursum,

ib. Marc. 15, 38.

Ab is not repeated like most other prepositions (v. ad, ex, in, etc.) with pron. interrog. or relat. after subst. and pron. demonstr. with ab:

Arsinoen, Stratum, Naupactum...fateris ab hostibus esse captas. Quibus autem hostibus? Nempe iis, quos, etc.,

Cic. Pis. 37, 91:

a rebus gerendis senectus abstrahit. Quibus? An iis, quae in juventute geruntur et viribus?

id. Sen. 6:

a Jove incipiendum putat. Quo Jove?

id. Rep. 1, 36, 56:

res publica, quascumque vires habebit, ab iis ipsis, quibus tenetur, de te propediem impetrabit,

id. Fam. 4, 13, 5.—

Ab in Plantus is once put after the word which it governs: quo ab, As. 1, 1, 106.—

It is in various ways separated from the word which it governs:

a vitae periculo,

Cic. Brut. 91, 313:

a nullius umquam me tempore aut commodo,

id. Arch. 6, 12:

a minus bono,

Sall. C. 2, 6:

a satis miti principio,

Liv. 1, 6, 4:

damnis dives ab ipsa suis,

Ov. H. 9, 96; so id. ib. 12, 18; 13, 116.—

The poets join a and que, making aque; but in good prose que is annexed to the following abl. (a meque, abs teque, etc.):

aque Chao,

Verg. G. 4, 347:

aque mero,

Ov. M. 3, 631:

aque viro,

id. H. 6, 156:

aque suis,

id. Tr. 5, 2, 74 al. But:

a meque,

Cic. Fam. 2, 16, 1:

abs teque,

id. Att. 3, 15, 4:

a teque,

id. ib. 8, 11, §

7: a primaque adulescentia,

id. Brut. 91, 315 al. —

A Greek noun joined with ab stands in the dat.: a parte negotiati, hoc est pragmatikê, removisse, Quint. 3, 7, 1.

In composition ab,

Retains its original signif.: abducere, to take or carry away from some place: abstrahere, to draw auay; also, downward: abicere, to throw down; and denoting a departure from the idea of the simple word, it has an effect apparently privative: absimilis, departing from the similar, unlike: abnormis, departing from the rule, unusual (different from dissimilis, enormis); and so also in amens=a mente remotus, alienus ( out of one's senses, without self-control, insane): absurdus, missounding, then incongruous, irrational: abutor (in one of its senses), to misuse: aborior, abortus, to miscarry: abludo; for the privative force the Latin regularly employs in-, v. 2. in.—

It more rarely designates completeness, as in absorbere, abutor ( to use up). (The designation of the fourth generation in the ascending or descending line by ab belongs here only in appearance; as abavus for quartus pater, great-great-grandfather, although the Greeks introduced upopappos; for the immutability of the syllable ab in abpatrnus and abmatertera, as well as the signif. Of the word abavus, grandfather's grandfather, imitated in abnepos, grandchild's grandchild, seems to point to a derivation from avi avus, as Festus, p. 13 Mull., explains atavus, by atta avi, or, rather, attae avus.)

* * *

frīgesco, frixi (frigui, Hier. Ep. 52, no. 2), 3, v. inch. n. [frigeo], to become or grow cold, to be chilled (mostly ante-class. and post-Aug.; perh. not used by Cic.).

non patiamur frigescere hoc opus (i. e. miserationem),

id. 6, 1, 29.—

To become cold towards any one:

vide sis, ne majorum tibi forte Limina frigescant,

receive thee coldly, Pers. 1, 109.

Ālĭus (better Ālĕus), a, um, adj., = Elius (v. Alis and Elis), Elian; subst., a native of Elis, a town in Achaia (only a few times in Plaut. Capt.):

Plaut. Capt. prol. 24; 27; 2, 2, 30.

ălĭus, a, ud, adj. and subst. (old form, alis, alid, after the analogy of quis, quid:

neque creatura alia poterit nos separare,

Vulg. Rom. 8, 39.

alius:

alius generis bestiae,

Cic. N. D. 2, 48, 123; Varr. L. L. 9, 40, 67 dub.:

alius ingenii,

Liv. 1, 56, 7 Madv. by conj.:

alius ordinis,

Amm. 30, 5, 10:

artificis aliusve,

Front. Controv. Agr. 2, 40, 27:

alius coloris,

Non. p. 450:

nomine vel ejus pro quo... aut alius qui, etc.,

Dig. 39, 2, 24, § 6; v. aliusmodi.—

In comparisons, with atque, ac, or et, more rarely with nisi and quam; with the latter, in good class. authors, only when preceded by a neg. clause, or by an interrog. implying a neg.; cf. Ruhnk. ad Ter. And. 3, 3, 13; instead of quam, the comp. abl. or praeter, and similar words, sometimes appear, other than, different from, etc.

With atque, ac, or et:

illi sunt alio ingenio atque tu,

Plaut. Ps. 4, 7, 35:

alium esse censes nunc me atque olim quom dabam?

Ter. And. 3, 3, 13:

potest non solum aliud mihi ac tibi, sed mihi ipsi aliud alias videri,

Cic. Or. 71, 237:

longe alia nobis ac tu scripseras nuntiantur,

id. Att. 11, 10:

res alio modo est ac putatur,

id. Inv. 2, 6, 21 B. and K.:

qui longe alia ratione ac reliqui Galli bellum gerere coeperunt,

Caes. B. G. 3, 28:

non alius essem atque nunc sum,

Cic. Fam. 1, 9:

longe aliam esse navigationem in concluso mari atque in vastissimo atque apertissimo Oceano perspiciebant,

Caes. B. G. 3, 9: aliud (se) esse facturum ac pronunciasset, Nep. Ages. 3, 4:

alia atque antea sentiret,

id. Hann. 2, 2:

lux longe alia est solis et lychnorum,

is very different, Cic. Cael. 28.—

With nisi or quam (the latter is suspicious in Cic.; cf. Ochsn. Eclog. 252; Orell. ad Cic. Tusc. 1, 31, 75):

amare autem nihil aliud est, nisi eum ipsum diligere, quem ames,

nothing else than, only, Cic. Lael. 27, 100:

neque ulla fuit causa intermissionis epistularum nisi quod, etc.,

id. Fam. 7, 13:

erat historia nihil aliud nisi annalium confectio,

id. de Or. 2, 12:

Quid est aliud tumultus nisi perturbatio tanta, ut, etc.?

id. Phil. 8, 3:

id. Sull. 12; id. Att. 5, 10:

quid est aliud Gigantum modo bellare cum dis nisi naturae repugnare?

id. Sen. 2, 5; id. Sex. Rosc. 19, 54; id. Rosc. Am. 5, 13; id. Leg. 1, 8, 25:

neque aliud huic defuit quam generosa stirps,

id. Eum. 1, 2:

Nullo quippe alio vincis discrimine quam quod Illi marmoreum caput est, etc.,

Juv. 8, 54.—Hence, nihil aliud nisi or quam, = ouden allo ê, followed by finite verb, nothing else than, nothing but, only (after these words, fecit, factum est may be supplied, or the phraseology changed to nulla alia re facta; cf. Matth. Gr. 903; Hoogev. ad Vig. p. 475;

Kuhn. Gr. Gr. II. p. 825): tribunatus P. Sestii nihil aliud nisi meum nomen causamque sustinuit,

Cic. Sest. 6, 13:

ut nihil aliud nisi de hoste ac de laude cogitet,

id. Imp. Pomp. 22, 64; Liv. 2, 8:

et hostes quidem nihil aliud (i. e. nulla alia re facta) quam perfusis vano timore Romanis citato agmine abeunt,

id. 2, 63; 31, 24:

ut domo abditus nihil aliud quam per edicta obnuntiaret,

Suet. Caes. 20:

mox nihil aliud quam vectabatur et deambulabat,

id. Aug. 83.—So, quid aliud quam? what other thing than? what else than? quibus quid aliud quam admonemus cives nos eorum esse, Liv. 4, 3:

quid aliud quam ad bellum vocabantur?

Flor. 3, 23 med.; so,

Quid Tullius? Anne aliud quam sidus?

Juv. 7, 199.—In affirmative-clauses rare, and only post-Aug.:

te alia omnia, quam quae velis, agere, moleste ferrem,

Plin. Ep. 7, 15, 2:

quod alium quam se cooptassent,

Suet. Ner. 2 al. —So, with the simple interrogative, quis alius? quid aliud? Qui, malum, alii? Ter. Eun. 4, 7, 10:

Quid te aliud sollicitat?

id. ib. 1, 2, 82:

Quid aliud tibi vis?

id. Heaut. 2, 3, 90:

With comp. abl. (cf. in Gr. alla tôn dikaiôn, Xen. Mem. 4, 4, 25):

qui quaerit alia his, malum videtur quaerere,

other than, Plaut. Poen. prol. 22:

quod est aliud melle,

Varr. R. R. 3, 16: nec quidquam aliud libertate communi quaesisse, nothing else but, Brut. et Cass. ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 2:

neve putes alium sapiente bonoque beatum,

Hor. Ep. 1, 16, 20:

alius Lysippo,

id. ib. 2, 1, 240:

accusator alius Sejano,

Phaedr. 3, prol. 41.—

With praeter:

nec nobis praeter me alius quisquam est servos Sosia,

Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 249:

nec quidquam aliud est philosophia praeter studium sapientiae,

Cic. Off. 2, 2, 5:

non est alius praeter eum,

With absque (eccl. Lat.):

non est alius Deus absque te,

Vulg. 1 Par. 17, 20.—

With praeterquam:

cum aliud, praeterquam de quo retulissent, decemviri dicere prohiberent,

Liv. 3, 40.

Esp.

In distributive-clauses repeated even several times, and also interchanged with non nulli, quidam, ceteri, pars, partim, etc., the one... the other; plur., some... others:

quid potes dicere cur alia defendas, alia non cures?

Cic. Phil. 2, 111:

latera tegentes alios, alios praegredientes amicos,

id. ib. 13, 4: cum alii fossas complerent, alii defensores vallo depellerent, Caes. B. G. 3, 25; id. B. C. 1, 55:

alii experimentorum notitiam necessariam esse contendunt, alii non satis potentem usum esse proponunt, Cels. prooem.: quae minus tuta erant, alia fossis, alia vallis, alia turribus muniebat,

Liv. 32, 5; so Vulg. Matt. 13, 5 sqq.; ib. 1 Cor. 12, 10; Cels. 3, 3, enumerating the different kinds of fever, repeats aliae seventeen times:

cum aliis Q. Frater legatus, aliis C. Pomptinus legatus, reliquis M. Anneius legatus etc.,

Cic. Fam. 15, 4, 8:

proferebant alii purpuram, tus alii, gemmas alii, vina non nulli Graeca,

id. Verr. 2, 5, 56, § 146: alias bestias nantes, alias volucres, serpentes quasdam, quasdam esse gradientes; earum ipsarum partim solivagas, partim congregatas;

immanes alias, quasdam autem cicures, non nullas abditas,

id. Tusc. 5, 13, 38:

principes partim interfecerant, alios in exsilium ejecerant,

nos alii ibimus Afros, pars Scythiam veniemus,

Verg. E. 1, 65:

alii superstantes proeliarentur, pars occulti muros subruerent,

Tac. H. 4, 23.—Sometimes alius is omitted in one clause:

Helvetii ea spe dejecti navibus junctis, alii vadis Rhodani, etc.,

Caes. B. G. 1, 8:

Veientes ignari in partem praedae suae vocatos deos, alios votis ex urbe sua evocatos, etc.,

Liv. 5, 21; Plin. 2, 43, 44, § 114:

castra metari placuit, ut opus et alii proelium inciperent,

Tac. A. 1, 63.—Also with aliquis:

alia sunt tamquam sibi nata, ut oculi, ut aures: aliqua etiam ceterorum membrorum usum adjuvant,

Cic. Fin. 3, 19, 63: [putat aliquis esse voluptatem bonum;

alius autem pecuniam],

id. Tusc. 5, 28, 60 B. and K.; cf. Goer. ad Cic. Ac. 2, 10, 20.—Sometimes aliud... aliud designate merely a distinction between two objects contrasted, one thing... another:

Numquam aliud natura, aliud sapientia dicit,

Juv. 14, 321:

Fuit tempus, quo alia adversa, alia secunda principi,

Plin. Pan. 72:

aliud est male dicere, aliud accusare,

Cic. Cael. 3; id. Lig. 16; Quint. 10, 1, 53:

aliud est servum esse, aliud servire,

id. 5, 10, 60 al.:

jam sciunt longe aliud esse virgines rapere, aliud pugnare cum viris,

Liv. 1, 12; cf. infra, e.—

Alius repeated in another case, or with its derivatives, aliter, alias, alio, alibi, aliunde, etc. (but never with its derivatives in Tac.), in imitation of the Greek (cf. L. and S. s. v. allos, and Ochsn. Eclog. 110): simul alis alid aliunde rumitant inter se, Naev. ap. Fest. pp. 135 and 225; cf.

Bothe, Fragm. Comic. p. 25: alius alium percontamur, cuja est navis?

one another, Plaut. Stich. 2, 2, 46:

fallacia alia aliam trudit,

Ter. And. 4, 4, 40:

fecerunt alii quidem alia quam multa,

Cic. Phil. 3, 20, 6:

signa et ornamenta alia alio in loco intuebantur,

some in one place and some in another, id. Verr. 2. 1, 22:

alius in alia est re magis utilis,

id. Sex. Rosc. 111:

alius ex alia parte,

id. Verr. 1, 66:

dies alios alio dedit ordine Luna felicis operum,

Verg. G. 1, 276:

ut ipsi inter se alii aliis prodesse possent,

Cic. Off. 1, 7, 22; id. Leg. 1, 12, 33:

ideo multa conjecta sunt, aliud alio tempore,

id. Q. Fr. 3, 1, 7:

habes Sardos venales, alium alio nequiorem,

one worse than another, id. Fam. 7, 24: quo facto cum alius alii subsidium ferrent, one to another, Fr., l'un a

l'autre,

Caes. B. G. 2, 26 Herz.:

legiones aliae alia in parte resistunt,

id. ib. 2, 22:

alius alia causa illata,

id. ib. 1, 39:

cum ceteros alii alium alia de causa improbarent,

Suet. Vesp. 6:

alius alii subsidium ferunt,

Caes. B. G. 2, 26:

alius alio more viventes,

each in a different way, Sall. C. 6, 2:

alius alii tanti facinoris conscii,

id. ib. 22, 2; so id. ib. 52, 28; id. J. 53, 8; Curt. 10, 5, 16; Just. 15, 2:

alii autem aliud clamabant,

Vulg. Act. 19, 32:

illi alias aliud iisdem de rebus sentiunt,

now this, now that, Cic. de Or. 2, 7 fin.:

aliter ab aliis digeruntur,

id. ib. 2, 19; Vulg. 3 Reg. 22, 20:

equites alii alia dilapsi sunt,

some in this way, some in that, Liv. 44, 43:

cum alii alio mitterentur,

id. 7, 39: Alis alibi stantes, omnes tamen adversis volneribus conciderunt, Sall. ap. Charis. 2, p. 133:

jussit alios alibi fodere,

Liv. 44, 33; Vulg. Sap. 18, 18.—

Alius ex alio, super alium, post alium, one after another; so often of the connection between ideas:

ut aliud ex alio incidit, occurrit, etc.,

Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 37:

aliud ex alio succurrit mihi,

Cic. Fragm. C. 12:

alid ex alio reficit natura,

Lucr. 1, 263; 5, 1305; 5, 1456: sed, [p. 91] ut aliud ex alio, mihi non est dubium, quin, etc., Cic. Att. 16, 14, Plin. Pan. 18, 1:

ex alio in aliud vicissitudo atque mutatio,

Cic. Tusc. 5, 24, 69:

alias ex aliis nectendo moras,

Liv. 7, 39:

aliam ex alia prolem,

Verg. G. 3, 65; id. Cir. 364:

nos alia ex aliis in fata vocamur,

id. A. 3, 494:

quae impie per biennium alia super alia es ausus,

Liv. 3, 56; 23, 36:

aliud super aliud scelus,

id. 30, 26; Plin. Ep. 7, 8; Suet. Ner. 49:

deinde ab eo magistratu alium post alium sibi peperit,

Sall. J. 63, 5.—

Alius atque alius or alius aliusque, the one and the other; now this, now that; different:

eadem res saepe aut probatur aut reicitur, alio atque alio elata verbo,

Cic. Or. 22, 72:

alio atque alio loco requiescere,

in different places, Sall. J. 72, 2:

inchoata res aliis atque aliis de causis dilata erat,

Liv. 8, 23:

aliud ejus subinde atque aliud facientes initium,

Sen. Ep. 32, 2:

cum alia atque alia appetendo loca munirent,

Liv. 1, 8:

milites trans flumen aliis atque aliis locis traiciebant,

id. 2, 2:

luna alio atque alio loco exoritur,

Plin. 2, 10:

febres aliae aliaeque subinde oriuntur,

Cels. 3, 3:

cancer aliis aliisque signis discernitur,

id. 5, 26:

aliis atque aliis causis,

Suet. Aug. 97.—In Sall. also alius deinde alius or alius post alius:

saepe tentantes agros alia deinde alia loca petiverant, J. 18, 7: alias deinde alias morae causas facere,

id. ib. 36, 2:

aliis post aliis minitari,

id. ib. 55, 8.—

Of another kind or nature, i. e. different; hence, alium facere, to make different, to change, transform; and alium fleri, to become different, to be wholly changed:

nunc haec dies aliam vitam affert, alios mores postulat,

Ter. And. 1, 2, 18 (aliam vitam pro diversam, contrariam, Don.):

alium nunc censes esse me atque olim cum dabam,

id. ib. 3, 3, 13:

Huic aliud mercedis erit,

Verg. E. 6, 26:

longe alia mihi mens est,

Sall. C. 52, 2:

Vos aliam potatis aquam,

Juv. 5, 52:

lectus non alius cuiquam,

id. 8, 178:

ensesque recondit mors alia,

Stat. Th. 7, 806:

ostensus est in alia effigie,

Vulg. Marc. 16, 12; ib. Rom. 7, 23; ib. Gal. 1, 6; ib. Jac. 2, 25:

alium fecisti me, alius ad te veneram,

Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 123: alius nunc fieri volo, id. Poen. prol. fin.:

homines alii facti sunt,

Cic. Fam. 11, 12:

mutaberis in virum alium,

Vulg. 1 Reg. 10, 6; cf. supra, II. A. fin. —Hence, in alia omnia ire, transire, or discedere, sc. vota, to differ from the thing proposed; and in gen., to reject or oppose it, to go over to the opposite side: qui hoc censetis, illuc transite;

qui alia omnia, in hanc partem: his verbis praeit ominis videlicet causa, ne dicat: qui non censetis,

Fest. p. 221; Plin. Ep. 8, 14, 19:

frequens eum senatus reliquit et in alia omnia discessit,

Cic. Fam. 10, 12:

de tribus legatis frequentes ierunt in alia omnia,

id. ib. 1, 2 Manut.: cum prima M. Marcelli sententia pronunciata esset, frequens senatus in alia omnia iit, Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 13:

discessionem faciente Marcello, senatus frequens in alia omnia transiit,

Hirt. B. G. 8, 53: aliud or alias res agere, v. ago, II. 7.—

Of that which remains of a whole, = reliquus, ceteri, the rest, the remainder:

Divitiaco ex aliis Gallis maximam fidem habebat,

Caes. B. G. 1, 41:

inter primos atrox proelium fuit, alia multitudo terga vertit,

Liv. 7, 26:

vulgus aliud trucidatum,

id. 7, 19; 2, 23; so id. 24, 1:

legiones in testudinem glomerabantur et alii tela incutiebant,

Tac. H. 3, 31; id. A. 1, 30; 3, 42:

cum alios incessus hostis clausisset, unum reliquum aestas impediret,

id. ib. 6, 33 al.—

Like alter, one of two, the other of two:

huic fuerunt filii nati duo, alium servus surpuit, etc.,

Plaut. Capt. prol. 8; cf. id. ib. arg. 2 and 9: eis genus, aetas, eloquentia prope aequalia fuere;

magnitudo animi par, item gloria, sed alia alii,

Sall. C. 54, 1 Kritz:

duo Romani super alium alius corruerunt,

one upon the other, Liv. 1, 25, 5:

ita duo deinceps reges, alius alia via, civitatem auxerunt,

each in a different way, id. 1, 21, 6; 24, 27:

marique alio Nicopolim ingressus,

Tac. A. 5, 10 ( Ionio, Halm); so,

alias partes fovere,

the other side, id. H. 1, 8.—Also in the enumeration of the parts of any thing:

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam Celtae,

Caes. B. G. 1, 1 Herz.:

classium item duo genera sunt: unum liburnarum, aliud lusoriarum,

Veg. 2, 1 (cf. in Gr. meinantes de tautên tên hêmeran, têi allêi eporeuonto, Xen. Anab. 3, 4, 1; and so the Vulg.: Alia die profecti, the next day, Act. 21, 8).—Hence, alius with a proper name used as an appell. (cf. alter):

ne quis alius Ariovistus regno Galliarum potiretur,

a second Ariovistus, Tac. H. 4, 73 fin.:

alius Nero,

Suet. Tit. 7.—

A peculiar enhancement of the idea is produced by alius with a neg. and the comp.:

mulier, qua mulier alia nulla est pulchrior,

than whom no other woman is more beautiful, to whom no other woman is equal in beauty, Plaut. Merc. 1, 1, 100:

facinus, quo non fortius ausit alis,

Cat. 66, 28:

Fama malum qua non aliud velocius ullum,

Verg. A. 4, 174:

quo neque melius neque amplius aliud in natura mortalium est,

Sall. J. 2, 4:

quo non aliud atrocius visum,

Tac. A. 6, 24:

(Sulla) neque consilio neque manu priorem alium pati,

Sall. J. 96, 3:

neque majus aliud neque praestabilius invenias,

id. ib. 1, 2; Liv. 1, 24:

non alia ante Romana pugna atrocior fuit,

id. 1, 27; 2, 31; Tac. A. 6, 7 al.; cf. under aliter, 2. b. z.—Hence the advv.

ălĭō, adv. (an old dat. form, designating direction to a place; cf.: eo, quo), elsewhither (arch.), elsewhere, to another place, person, or thing, allose (class., esp. among poets; but not found in Lucr. or Juv.).

In gen.

Of place:

fortasse tu profectus alio fueras,

Ter. Eun. 2, 2, 49:

ut ab Norba alio traducerentur,

Liv. 32, 2:

translatos alio maerebis amores,

Hor. Epod. 15, 23:

decurrens alio,

id. S. 2, 1, 32:

nam frustra vitium vitaveris illud, Si te alio pravum detorseris,

id. ib. 2, 2, 55.—With quo:

Arpinumne mihi eundum sit, an quo alio,

to some other place, Cic. Att. 9, 17:

si quando Romam aliove quo mitterent legatos,

Liv. 38, 30. —

Of persons or things (cf. alias, alibi, alicunde, etc.):

illi suum animum alio conferunt,

Ter. Heaut. 2, 4, 10 (cf. Plaut. Merc. 2, 2, 62:

ne ad illam me animum adjecisse sentiat): ne quando iratus tu alio conferas,

id. Eun. 3, 1, 60 Don.:

hi narrata ferunt alio,

Ov. M. 12, 57: tamen vocat me alio ( to another subject) jam dudum tacita vestra exspectatio, Cic. Clu. 23, 63; id. Verr. 2, 1, 53, § 139:

sed, si placet, sermonem alio transferamus,

id. de Or. 1, 29, 133:

quoniam alio properare tempus monet,

Sall. J. 19, 2; so Tac. A. 1, 18 al.—

Of purpose or design:

appellet haec desideria naturae: cupiditatis nomen servet alio,

for another purpose, Cic. Fin. 2, 9, 27:

hoc longe alio spectabat,

looked quite elsewhere, had a far different design, Nep. Them. 6, 3.—

a.. Alio... alio, in one way... in another; hither... thither, = huc... illuc:

hic (i. e. in ea re) alio res familiaris, alio ducit humanitas,

Cic. Off. 3, 23, 89: alio atque alio, in one way and another:

nihil alio atque alio spargitur,

Sen. Brev. Vit. 11, 2.—

Alius alio, each in a different way, one in one way, another in another:

et ceteri quidem alius alio,

Cic. Off. 3, 20, 80:

aliud alio dissipavit,

id. Div. 1, 34, 76; so Liv. 2, 54, 9; 7, 39.—So, aliunde alio, from one place to another:

quassatione terrae aliunde alio (aquae) transferuntur,

Sen. Q. N. 3, 11, 1; cf. aliunde.—

Like alius or aliter with a negative and the particles of comparison quam or atque;

in questions with nisi: plebem nusquam alio natam quam ad serviendum,

for nothing but, Liv. 7, 18, 7: non alio datam summam quam in emptionem, etc., * Suet. Aug. 98 Ruhnk.:

quo alio nisi ad nos confugerent?

Liv. 39, 36, 11; cf. Hand, Turs. I. pp. 232-234.—

ălĭā, adv. (sc. via), in another way, in a different manner (in the whole ante-class. and class. per. dub.); for in Plaut. Rud. prol. 10, aliuta has been proposed; in Lucr. 6, 986, Lachm. reads alio; in Liv. 21, 56, 2, Weissenb. alibi; and in id. 44, 43, 2, via may be supplied from the preced. context; certain only in Don. ad Ter. Hec. 1, 2, 5; cf. Hand, Turs. I. p. 219.—

ălĭās, adv. (acc. to Prisc. 1014 P., and Corss. Ausspr. I. p. 769, an acc. form like foras; but acc. to Herz. ad Caes. B. G. 5, 57, and Hab. Syn. 79, old gen. like paterfamili as, Alcmen as, etc. In the ante-class. per. rare; only once in Plaut., twice in Ter., twice in Varro; in the class. per. most freq. in Cic., but only three times in his orations; also in Plin.).

Of time, at a time other than the present, whether it be in the past or (more freq.) in the future.

At another time, at other times, on another occasion (alias: temporis adverbium, quod Graeci allote, aliter allôs, Capitol. Orth. 2242 P.; cf.

Semper alias, always at other times or in other cases (apparently only post-Aug.): et super cenam autem et semper alias communissimus, multa joco transigebat. Suet. Vesp. 22; id. Tib. 18; Gell. 15, 1.—

Raro alias, rarely at other times, on other occasions:

ut raro alias quisquam tanto favore est auditus,

Plin. 2, 103, 106, § 224; so id. 18, 6, 7, § 37; 19, 8, 48, § 163; 25, 2, 6, § 16 al.—

Non alias quam, for no other reason, on no other condition, in no other circumstances than, not other than; and non alias nisi, on no other condition, not otherwise, except (prob. taken from the lang. of common life):

non alias magis indoluisse Caesarem ferunt quam quod, etc.,

Tac. A. 3, 73:

by nothing safer than by feigning death, Curt. 8, 1, 24; 8, 14, 16; Dig. 29, 7, 6, § 2: non alias ( on no other condition) existet heres ex substitutione nisi, etc., ib. 28, 6, 8; 23, 3, 37, 23, 3, 29.—

Alias like aliter, in another manner; flrst in the Lat. of the jurists (cf. Suet. Tib. 71 Oud.; Liv. 21, 56, 2 Drak.; Ter. And. 3, 2, 49 Ruhnk.), Dig. 33, 8, 8, § 8; cf. Hand, Turs. I. pp. 219-227. —

ălĭtĕr, adv. [alis; v. alius init. ], otherwise, in another manner, allôs.

Col. Arb. 7, 5; so Suet. Tib. 15; 24; id. Galb. 8; Curt. 9, 5, 23.—

Without a comparative clause expressed.

fieri non potuit aliter,

Cic. Att. 6, 6.—

Esp.

Pregn., otherwise, in the contrary manner: Pe. Servos Epidicus dixit mihi. Ph. Quid si servo aliter visum est? i. e. if he does not speak the truth? Plaut. Ep. 4, 2, 29:

ego isti nihilo sum aliter ac fui,

Ter. Phorm. 3, 2, 44; id. Ad. 3, 4, 46; Cic. Rosc. Am. 47, 137.—

For alioqui (q. v. II. C.), otherwise, else, in any other case:

qui longe alia ratione ac reliqui Galli bellum gerere coeperunt,

Caes. B. G. 3, 28:

non alius essem atque nunc sum,

Cic. Fam. 1, 9:

longe aliam esse navigationem in concluso mari atque in vastissimo atque apertissimo Oceano perspiciebant,

Caes. B. G. 3, 9: aliud (se) esse facturum ac pronunciasset, Nep. Ages. 3, 4:

alia atque antea sentiret,

id. Hann. 2, 2:

lux longe alia est solis et lychnorum,

is very different, Cic. Cael. 28.—

With nisi or quam (the latter is suspicious in Cic.; cf. Ochsn. Eclog. 252; Orell. ad Cic. Tusc. 1, 31, 75):

amare autem nihil aliud est, nisi eum ipsum diligere, quem ames,

nothing else than, only, Cic. Lael. 27, 100:

neque ulla fuit causa intermissionis epistularum nisi quod, etc.,

id. Fam. 7, 13:

id. Eum. 1, 2:

Nullo quippe alio vincis discrimine quam quod Illi marmoreum caput est, etc.,

Juv. 8, 54.—Hence, nihil aliud nisi or quam, = ouden allo ê, followed by finite verb, nothing else than, nothing but, only (after these words, fecit, factum est may be supplied, or the phraseology changed to nulla alia re facta; cf. Matth. Gr. 903; Hoogev. ad Vig. p. 475;

Kuhn. Gr. Gr. II. p. 825): tribunatus P. Sestii nihil aliud nisi meum nomen causamque sustinuit,

quid aliud quam ad bellum vocabantur?

Flor. 3, 23 med.; so,

Quid Tullius? Anne aliud quam sidus?

Juv. 7, 199.—In affirmative-clauses rare, and only post-Aug.:

te alia omnia, quam quae velis, agere, moleste ferrem,

Plin. Ep. 7, 15, 2:

quod alium quam se cooptassent,

Suet. Ner. 2 al. —So, with the simple interrogative, quis alius? quid aliud? Qui, malum, alii? Ter. Eun. 4, 7, 10:

Esp.

In distributive-clauses repeated even several times, and also interchanged with non nulli, quidam, ceteri, pars, partim, etc., the one... the other; plur., some... others:

quid potes dicere cur alia defendas, alia non cures?

Cic. Phil. 2, 111:

latera tegentes alios, alios praegredientes amicos,

id. ib. 13, 4: cum alii fossas complerent, alii defensores vallo depellerent, Caes. B. G. 3, 25; id. B. C. 1, 55:

alii experimentorum notitiam necessariam esse contendunt, alii non satis potentem usum esse proponunt, Cels. prooem.: quae minus tuta erant, alia fossis, alia vallis, alia turribus muniebat,

Liv. 32, 5; so Vulg. Matt. 13, 5 sqq.; ib. 1 Cor. 12, 10; Cels. 3, 3, enumerating the different kinds of fever, repeats aliae seventeen times:

cum aliis Q. Frater legatus, aliis C. Pomptinus legatus, reliquis M. Anneius legatus etc.,

Cic. Fam. 15, 4, 8:

proferebant alii purpuram, tus alii, gemmas alii, vina non nulli Graeca,

id. Verr. 2, 5, 56, § 146: alias bestias nantes, alias volucres, serpentes quasdam, quasdam esse gradientes; earum ipsarum partim solivagas, partim congregatas;

Veientes ignari in partem praedae suae vocatos deos, alios votis ex urbe sua evocatos, etc.,

Liv. 5, 21; Plin. 2, 43, 44, § 114:

castra metari placuit, ut opus et alii proelium inciperent,

Tac. A. 1, 63.—Also with aliquis:

alia sunt tamquam sibi nata, ut oculi, ut aures: aliqua etiam ceterorum membrorum usum adjuvant,

Cic. Fin. 3, 19, 63: [putat aliquis esse voluptatem bonum;

alius autem pecuniam],

id. Tusc. 5, 28, 60 B. and K.; cf. Goer. ad Cic. Ac. 2, 10, 20.—Sometimes aliud... aliud designate merely a distinction between two objects contrasted, one thing... another:

Numquam aliud natura, aliud sapientia dicit,

Juv. 14, 321:

Fuit tempus, quo alia adversa, alia secunda principi,

Plin. Pan. 72:

aliud est male dicere, aliud accusare,

Cic. Cael. 3; id. Lig. 16; Quint. 10, 1, 53:

id. 5, 10, 60 al.:

jam sciunt longe aliud esse virgines rapere, aliud pugnare cum viris,

Liv. 1, 12; cf. infra, e.—

Alius repeated in another case, or with its derivatives, aliter, alias, alio, alibi, aliunde, etc. (but never with its derivatives in Tac.), in imitation of the Greek (cf. L. and S. s. v. allos, and Ochsn. Eclog. 110): simul alis alid aliunde rumitant inter se, Naev. ap. Fest. pp. 135 and 225; cf.

Bothe, Fragm. Comic. p. 25: alius alium percontamur, cuja est navis?

one another, Plaut. Stich. 2, 2, 46:

some in one place and some in another, id. Verr. 2. 1, 22:

id. Sex. Rosc. 111:

alius ex alia parte,

id. Verr. 1, 66:

l'autre,

Caes. B. G. 2, 26 Herz.:

legiones aliae alia in parte resistunt,

id. ib. 2, 22:

alius alio more viventes,

each in a different way, Sall. C. 6, 2:

alius alii tanti facinoris conscii,

id. ib. 22, 2; so id. ib. 52, 28; id. J. 53, 8; Curt. 10, 5, 16; Just. 15, 2:

alii autem aliud clamabant,

Vulg. Act. 19, 32:

illi alias aliud iisdem de rebus sentiunt,

now this, now that, Cic. de Or. 2, 7 fin.:

aliter ab aliis digeruntur,

id. ib. 2, 19; Vulg. 3 Reg. 22, 20:

equites alii alia dilapsi sunt,

some in this way, some in that, Liv. 44, 43:

cum alii alio mitterentur,

id. 7, 39: Alis alibi stantes, omnes tamen adversis volneribus conciderunt, Sall. ap. Charis. 2, p. 133:

jussit alios alibi fodere,

Liv. 44, 33; Vulg. Sap. 18, 18.—

Alius ex alio, super alium, post alium, one after another; so often of the connection between ideas:

ut aliud ex alio incidit, occurrit, etc.,

Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 37:

aliud ex alio succurrit mihi,

Cic. Fragm. C. 12:

alid ex alio reficit natura,

Lucr. 1, 263; 5, 1305; 5, 1456: sed, [p. 91] ut aliud ex alio, mihi non est dubium, quin, etc., Cic. Att. 16, 14, Plin. Pan. 18, 1:

ex alio in aliud vicissitudo atque mutatio,

Cic. Tusc. 5, 24, 69:

alias ex aliis nectendo moras,

Liv. 7, 39:

aliam ex alia prolem,

Verg. G. 3, 65; id. Cir. 364:

nos alia ex aliis in fata vocamur,

id. A. 3, 494:

quae impie per biennium alia super alia es ausus,

Liv. 3, 56; 23, 36:

aliud super aliud scelus,

id. 30, 26; Plin. Ep. 7, 8; Suet. Ner. 49:

deinde ab eo magistratu alium post alium sibi peperit,

Sall. J. 63, 5.—

Alius atque alius or alius aliusque, the one and the other; now this, now that; different:

eadem res saepe aut probatur aut reicitur, alio atque alio elata verbo,

Cic. Or. 22, 72:

alio atque alio loco requiescere,

in different places, Sall. J. 72, 2:

inchoata res aliis atque aliis de causis dilata erat,

Liv. 8, 23:

aliud ejus subinde atque aliud facientes initium,

Sen. Ep. 32, 2:

cum alia atque alia appetendo loca munirent,

Liv. 1, 8:

milites trans flumen aliis atque aliis locis traiciebant,

id. 2, 2:

luna alio atque alio loco exoritur,

Plin. 2, 10:

febres aliae aliaeque subinde oriuntur,

Cels. 3, 3:

cancer aliis aliisque signis discernitur,

id. 5, 26:

aliis atque aliis causis,

Suet. Aug. 97.—In Sall. also alius deinde alius or alius post alius:

saepe tentantes agros alia deinde alia loca petiverant, J. 18, 7: alias deinde alias morae causas facere,

id. ib. 36, 2:

aliis post aliis minitari,

id. ib. 55, 8.—

Of another kind or nature, i. e. different; hence, alium facere, to make different, to change, transform; and alium fleri, to become different, to be wholly changed:

nunc haec dies aliam vitam affert, alios mores postulat,

Ter. And. 1, 2, 18 (aliam vitam pro diversam, contrariam, Don.):

alium nunc censes esse me atque olim cum dabam,

id. ib. 3, 3, 13:

Huic aliud mercedis erit,

Verg. E. 6, 26:

longe alia mihi mens est,

Sall. C. 52, 2:

Vos aliam potatis aquam,

Juv. 5, 52:

lectus non alius cuiquam,

id. 8, 178:

ensesque recondit mors alia,

Stat. Th. 7, 806:

ostensus est in alia effigie,

Vulg. Marc. 16, 12; ib. Rom. 7, 23; ib. Gal. 1, 6; ib. Jac. 2, 25:

alium fecisti me, alius ad te veneram,

Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 123: alius nunc fieri volo, id. Poen. prol. fin.:

homines alii facti sunt,

Cic. Fam. 11, 12:

mutaberis in virum alium,

Vulg. 1 Reg. 10, 6; cf. supra, II. A. fin. —Hence, in alia omnia ire, transire, or discedere, sc. vota, to differ from the thing proposed; and in gen., to reject or oppose it, to go over to the opposite side: qui hoc censetis, illuc transite;

qui alia omnia, in hanc partem: his verbis praeit ominis videlicet causa, ne dicat: qui non censetis,

Fest. p. 221; Plin. Ep. 8, 14, 19:

frequens eum senatus reliquit et in alia omnia discessit,

Cic. Fam. 10, 12:

de tribus legatis frequentes ierunt in alia omnia,

id. ib. 1, 2 Manut.: cum prima M. Marcelli sententia pronunciata esset, frequens senatus in alia omnia iit, Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 13:

discessionem faciente Marcello, senatus frequens in alia omnia transiit,

Hirt. B. G. 8, 53: aliud or alias res agere, v. ago, II. 7.—

Of that which remains of a whole, = reliquus, ceteri, the rest, the remainder:

Divitiaco ex aliis Gallis maximam fidem habebat,

Caes. B. G. 1, 41:

inter primos atrox proelium fuit, alia multitudo terga vertit,

Liv. 7, 26:

vulgus aliud trucidatum,

id. 7, 19; 2, 23; so id. 24, 1:

legiones in testudinem glomerabantur et alii tela incutiebant,

Tac. H. 3, 31; id. A. 1, 30; 3, 42:

cum alios incessus hostis clausisset, unum reliquum aestas impediret,

id. ib. 6, 33 al.—

Like alter, one of two, the other of two:

huic fuerunt filii nati duo, alium servus surpuit, etc.,

Plaut. Capt. prol. 8; cf. id. ib. arg. 2 and 9: eis genus, aetas, eloquentia prope aequalia fuere;

magnitudo animi par, item gloria, sed alia alii,

Sall. C. 54, 1 Kritz:

duo Romani super alium alius corruerunt,

one upon the other, Liv. 1, 25, 5:

ita duo deinceps reges, alius alia via, civitatem auxerunt,

each in a different way, id. 1, 21, 6; 24, 27:

marique alio Nicopolim ingressus,

Tac. A. 5, 10 ( Ionio, Halm); so,

alias partes fovere,

the other side, id. H. 1, 8.—Also in the enumeration of the parts of any thing:

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam Celtae,

Caes. B. G. 1, 1 Herz.:

classium item duo genera sunt: unum liburnarum, aliud lusoriarum,

Veg. 2, 1 (cf. in Gr. meinantes de tautên tên hêmeran, têi allêi eporeuonto, Xen. Anab. 3, 4, 1; and so the Vulg.: Alia die profecti, the next day, Act. 21, 8).—Hence, alius with a proper name used as an appell. (cf. alter):

ne quis alius Ariovistus regno Galliarum potiretur,

a second Ariovistus, Tac. H. 4, 73 fin.:

alius Nero,

Suet. Tit. 7.—

A peculiar enhancement of the idea is produced by alius with a neg. and the comp.:

mulier, qua mulier alia nulla est pulchrior,

than whom no other woman is more beautiful, to whom no other woman is equal in beauty, Plaut. Merc. 1, 1, 100:

facinus, quo non fortius ausit alis,

Cat. 66, 28:

Fama malum qua non aliud velocius ullum,

Verg. A. 4, 174:

quo neque melius neque amplius aliud in natura mortalium est,

Sall. J. 2, 4:

quo non aliud atrocius visum,

Tac. A. 6, 24:

(Sulla) neque consilio neque manu priorem alium pati,

Sall. J. 96, 3:

neque majus aliud neque praestabilius invenias,

id. ib. 1, 2; Liv. 1, 24:

non alia ante Romana pugna atrocior fuit,

id. 1, 27; 2, 31; Tac. A. 6, 7 al.; cf. under aliter, 2. b. z.—Hence the advv.

ălĭō, adv. (an old dat. form, designating direction to a place; cf.: eo, quo), elsewhither (arch.), elsewhere, to another place, person, or thing, allose (class., esp. among poets; but not found in Lucr. or Juv.).

In gen.

Of place:

fortasse tu profectus alio fueras,

Ter. Eun. 2, 2, 49:

ut ab Norba alio traducerentur,

Liv. 32, 2:

translatos alio maerebis amores,

Hor. Epod. 15, 23:

decurrens alio,

id. S. 2, 1, 32:

nam frustra vitium vitaveris illud, Si te alio pravum detorseris,

id. ib. 2, 2, 55.—With quo:

Arpinumne mihi eundum sit, an quo alio,

to some other place, Cic. Att. 9, 17:

si quando Romam aliove quo mitterent legatos,

Liv. 38, 30. —

Of persons or things (cf. alias, alibi, alicunde, etc.):

illi suum animum alio conferunt,

Ter. Heaut. 2, 4, 10 (cf. Plaut. Merc. 2, 2, 62:

ne ad illam me animum adjecisse sentiat): ne quando iratus tu alio conferas,

id. Eun. 3, 1, 60 Don.:

hi narrata ferunt alio,

Ov. M. 12, 57: tamen vocat me alio ( to another subject) jam dudum tacita vestra exspectatio, Cic. Clu. 23, 63; id. Verr. 2, 1, 53, § 139:

sed, si placet, sermonem alio transferamus,

id. de Or. 1, 29, 133:

quoniam alio properare tempus monet,

Sall. J. 19, 2; so Tac. A. 1, 18 al.—

Of purpose or design:

appellet haec desideria naturae: cupiditatis nomen servet alio,

for another purpose, Cic. Fin. 2, 9, 27:

hoc longe alio spectabat,

looked quite elsewhere, had a far different design, Nep. Them. 6, 3.—

a.. Alio... alio, in one way... in another; hither... thither, = huc... illuc:

hic (i. e. in ea re) alio res familiaris, alio ducit humanitas,

Cic. Off. 3, 23, 89: alio atque alio, in one way and another:

nihil alio atque alio spargitur,

Sen. Brev. Vit. 11, 2.—

Alius alio, each in a different way, one in one way, another in another:

et ceteri quidem alius alio,

Cic. Off. 3, 20, 80:

aliud alio dissipavit,

id. Div. 1, 34, 76; so Liv. 2, 54, 9; 7, 39.—So, aliunde alio, from one place to another:

quassatione terrae aliunde alio (aquae) transferuntur,

Sen. Q. N. 3, 11, 1; cf. aliunde.—

Like alius or aliter with a negative and the particles of comparison quam or atque;

in questions with nisi: plebem nusquam alio natam quam ad serviendum,

for nothing but, Liv. 7, 18, 7: non alio datam summam quam in emptionem, etc., * Suet. Aug. 98 Ruhnk.:

quo alio nisi ad nos confugerent?

Liv. 39, 36, 11; cf. Hand, Turs. I. pp. 232-234.—

ălĭā, adv. (sc. via), in another way, in a different manner (in the whole ante-class. and class. per. dub.); for in Plaut. Rud. prol. 10, aliuta has been proposed; in Lucr. 6, 986, Lachm. reads alio; in Liv. 21, 56, 2, Weissenb. alibi; and in id. 44, 43, 2, via may be supplied from the preced. context; certain only in Don. ad Ter. Hec. 1, 2, 5; cf. Hand, Turs. I. p. 219.—

ălĭās, adv. (acc. to Prisc. 1014 P., and Corss. Ausspr. I. p. 769, an acc. form like foras; but acc. to Herz. ad Caes. B. G. 5, 57, and Hab. Syn. 79, old gen. like paterfamili as, Alcmen as, etc. In the ante-class. per. rare; only once in Plaut., twice in Ter., twice in Varro; in the class. per. most freq. in Cic., but only three times in his orations; also in Plin.).

Of time, at a time other than the present, whether it be in the past or (more freq.) in the future.

At another time, at other times, on another occasion (alias: temporis adverbium, quod Graeci allote, aliter allôs, Capitol. Orth. 2242 P.; cf.

Herz. and Hab., as cited above): alias ut uti possim causa hac integra,

Ter. Hec. 1, 2, 4; so id. And. 3, 2, 49 (alias = alio tempore, Don.):

sed alias jocabimur,

Cic. Fam. 7, 13, 2:

sed plura scribemus alias,

id. ib. 7, 6:

et alias et in consulatus petitione vinci,

id. Planc. 18:

nil oriturum alias,

Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 17.—In the future, freq. in contrast with nunc, in praesentia, tum, hactenus:

recte secusne, alias viderimus,

Cic. Ac. 2, 44, 135:

Hactenus haec: alias justum sit necne poema, Nunc, etc.,

Hor. S. 1, 4, 63: sed haec alias pluribus;

nunc, etc.,

Cic. Div. 2, 2 fin.; Liv. 44, 36 fin.: quare placeat, alias ostendemus; in praesentia, etc., Auct. ad Her. 3, 16, 28.—In the past:

gubernatores alias imperare soliti, tum metu mortis jussa exsequebantur,

Curt. 4, 3, 18:

alias bellare inter se solitos, tunc periculi societas junxerat,

id. 9, 4, 15.—Freq. with advv. of time;

as numquam, umquam, and the like: si umquam in dicendo fuimus aliquid, aut etiam si numquam alias fuimus, tum profecto, etc.,

Cic. Att. 4, 2, 2:

consilio numquam alias dato,

Hor. C. 3, 5, 45:

numquam ante alias,

Liv. 2, 22, 7:

non umquam alias ante tantus terror senatum invasit,

id. 2, 9, 5; 1, 28, 4:

si quando umquam ante alias,

id. 32, 5 (where the four advv. of time are to be taken together):

Saturnalibus et si quando alias libuisset, modo munera dividebat,

Suet. Aug. 75.—

Alias... alias, as in Gr. allote... allote; allote men... allote de, at one time... at another; once... another time; sometimes... sometimes; now... now:

Alias me poscit pro illa triginta minas, Alias talentum magnum,

Plaut. Curc. 1, 1, 63; so Varr. L. L. 8, § 76 Mull.; id. R. R. 2, 1, 15; Cic. Verr. 1, 46, 120:

nec potest quisquam alias beatus esse, alias miser,

id. Fin. 2, 27, 87:

contentius alias, alias summissius,

id. de Or. 3, 55, 212:

cum alias bellum inferrent, alias inlatum defenderent,

Caes. B. G. 2, 29; so id. ib. 5, 57 al.; it occurs four times in successive clauses in Cic. Inv. 1, 52, 99.—Sometimes plerumque, saepe, aliquando, interdum stand in corresponding clauses:

nec umquam sine usura reddit (terra), quod accepit, sed alias minore, plerumque majore cum foenore,

Cic. Sen. 15, 51:

geminatio verborum habet interdum vim, leporem alias,

id. de Or. 3, 54, 206:

hoc alias fastidio, alias contumacia, saepius imbecillitate, evenit,

Plin. 16, 32, 58, § 134; 7, 15, 13, § 63.—Sometimes one alias is omitted:

illi eruptione tentata alias cuniculis ad aggerem actis, etc.,

Caes. B. G. 3, 21; Plin. 26, 3, 7, § 13.—

Alias aliter, alias alius, etc. (cf. alius), at one time in one way... at another in another; now so... now otherwise; now this... now that:

Cic. Inv. 2, 13, 45:

alii enim sunt, alias nostrique familiares fere demortui,

id. Att. 16, 11 (Madv. interprets this of time):

illi alias aliud iisdem de rebus judicant,

id. de Or. 2, 7, 30; id. Or. 59, 200:

(deos) non semper eosdem atque alias alios solemus venerari,

id. Red. in Sen. 30:

ut iidem versus alias in aliam rem posse accommodari viderentur,

id. Div. 2, 54, 111.—

Saepe alias or alias saepe... nunc, nuper, quondam, etc.;

also: cum saepe alias... tum, etc. (very common in Cic.): quod cum saepe alias tum nuper, etc.,

Cic. Tusc. 4, 4, 7:

fecimus et alias saepe et nuper in Tusculano,

id. ib. 5, 4, 11:

quibus de rebus et alias saepe... et quondam in Hortensii villa,

nunc tamen libentius quam saepe alias,

Symm. Ep. 1, 90.—So,

Semper alias, always at other times or in other cases (apparently only post-Aug.): et super cenam autem et semper alias communissimus, multa joco transigebat. Suet. Vesp. 22; id. Tib. 18; Gell. 15, 1.—

Raro alias, rarely at other times, on other occasions:

ut raro alias quisquam tanto favore est auditus,

Liv. 45, 20; 3, 69; Tac. H. 1, 89.—

Non alias, at no other time, never, = numquam (a choice poet. expression, often imitated by [p. 92] the histt.):

non alias caelo ceciderunt plura sereno Fulgura,

never at any other time did so much lightning fall from a clear sky, Verg. G. 1, 487:

non alias militi familiarior dux fuit,

Of place, at another place, elsewhere; or in respect of other things, in other circumstances, otherwise (only post-Aug.; v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. 1, 3, 7):

Idaeus rubus appellatus est, quoniam in Ida, non alias, nascitur,

Plin. 24, 14, 75, § 123 (Jan, alius): nusquam alias tam torrens fretum, * Just. 4, 1, 9:

sicut vir alias doctissimus Cornutus existimat,

Macr. S. 5, 19.—

Alias for alioqui (only post-Aug.), to indicate that something is in a different condition in one instance, not in others, except that, for the rest, otherwise:

in Silaro non virgulta modo immersa, verum et folia lapidescunt, alias salubri potu ejus aquae,

Plin. 2, 103, 106, § 224; so id. 18, 6, 7, § 37; 19, 8, 48, § 163; 25, 2, 6, § 16 al.—

Non alias quam, for no other reason, on no other condition, in no other circumstances than, not other than; and non alias nisi, on no other condition, not otherwise, except (prob. taken from the lang. of common life):

non alias magis indoluisse Caesarem ferunt quam quod, etc.,

Tac. A. 3, 73:

debilitatum vulnere jacuisse non alias quam simulatione mortis tutiorem,

by nothing safer than by feigning death, Curt. 8, 1, 24; 8, 14, 16; Dig. 29, 7, 6, § 2: non alias ( on no other condition) existet heres ex substitutione nisi, etc., ib. 28, 6, 8; 23, 3, 37, 23, 3, 29.—

Alias like aliter, in another manner; flrst in the Lat. of the jurists (cf. Suet. Tib. 71 Oud.; Liv. 21, 56, 2 Drak.; Ter. And. 3, 2, 49 Ruhnk.), Dig. 33, 8, 8, § 8; cf. Hand, Turs. I. pp. 219-227. —

ălĭtĕr, adv. [alis; v. alius init. ], otherwise, in another manner, allôs.

With comparative-clause expressed; constr. both affirm. and neg. without distinction.

Sed si aliter ut dixi accidisset, qui possem queri?

id. Rep. 1, 4, 7.—

Non (or haud) aliter, not otherwise (per litoten), = just as; with quam si, ac si, quam cum, quam, exactly, just as if:

Juv. 7, 220:

successorem non aliter quam indicium mortis accepturum,

Aliter ab aliquo (analog. to alius with the abl., and alienus with ab), differently from any one:

cultores regionum multo aliter a ceteris agunt,

Mel. 1, 9, 6.—

Non ali ter nisi, by no other means, on no other condition, not otherwise, except:

qui aliter obsistere fato fatetur se non potuisse, nisi etc.,

Cic. Fat. 20, 48; id. Fam. 1, 9: non pati C. Caesarem consulem aliter fieri, nisi exercitum et provincias tradiderit, Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 14; so Lentulus ap. Cic. Fam. 12, 14, 18; Liv. 35, 39; 45, 11; 38; Tac. Or. 32; Just. 12, 14, 7; Suet. Ner. 36; Dig. 37, 9, 6; 48, 18, 9. —

Col. Arb. 7, 5; so Suet. Tib. 15; 24; id. Galb. 8; Curt. 9, 5, 23.—

Without a comparative clause expressed.

In gen., otherwise, in another manner, in other respects; and in the poets: haud aliter (per litoten), just so:

vale atque salve, etsi aliter ut dicam meres,

though you deserve that I speak differently, Plaut. Capt. 3, 5, 86 Brix:

tu si aliter existimes, nihil errabis,

Cic. Fam. 3, 7, 16:

ut eadem ab utrisque dicantur, aliter dicuntur,

in a different sense, Plin. Pan. 72, 7:

Si quis aliter docet,

Vulg. 1 Tim. 6, 3:

quae aliter se habent,

ib. ib. 5, 25:

Quippe aliter tunc vivebant homines,

Juv. 6, 11: quod uterque nostrum his etiam ex studiis notus, quibus aliter ignotus est, otherwise, i. e. personally, unknown, Plin. Ep. 9, 23, 3.—With negatives:

Verg. A. 9, 65:

haud aliter (i. e. like a wild beast) juvenis medios moriturus in hostes Irruit,

neque exercitum Romanum aliter transmissurum,

Tac. H. 5, 19:

nec aliter expiari potest,

Fieri aliter non potest,

Ter. Ad. 5, 8, 13: assentior;

fieri non potuit aliter,

Cic. Att. 6, 6.—

Esp.

Pregn., otherwise, in the contrary manner: Pe. Servos Epidicus dixit mihi. Ph. Quid si servo aliter visum est? i. e. if he does not speak the truth? Plaut. Ep. 4, 2, 29:

verum aliter evenire multo intellegit,

Ter. And. prol. 4 (aliter autem contra significat, Don.):

amplis cornibus et nigris potius quam aliter,

Varr. R. R. 1, 20, 1: ne aliter quid eveniat, providere de cet, otherwise than harmoniously, Sall. J. 10, 7:

dis aliter visum,

Verg. A. 2, 428:

sin aliter tibi videtur,

Vulg. Num. 11, 15: adversi... saevaque circuitu curvantem bracchia longo Scorpion atque aliter ( in the opposite direction) curvantem bracchia Cancrum, Ov. M. 2, 83: aliterque ( and in the opposite course) secante jam pelagus rostro, Luc. 8, 197.—Hence, qui aliter fecerit, who will not do that:

neu quis de his postea ad senatum referat, neve cum populo agat: qui aliter fecerit, etc.,

Sall. C. 51, 43; Just. 6, 6, 1; cf. Brisson. de Form. p. 200, and de Verb. Signif. p. 66.—

Aliter esse, to be of a different nature, differently constituted or disposed:

sed longe aliter est amicus atque amator,

Plaut. Truc. 1, 2, 70: ego hunc esse aliter credidi: iste me fefellit;

ego isti nihilo sum aliter ac fui,

Ter. Phorm. 3, 2, 44; id. Ad. 3, 4, 46; Cic. Rosc. Am. 47, 137.—

For alioqui (q. v. II. C.), otherwise, else, in any other case:

jus enim semper est quaesitum aequabile: neque enim aliter esset jus (and just after: nam aliter justitia non esset),

Cic. Off. 2, 12, 42; 1, 39, 139; id. Lael. 20, 74:

si suos legatos recipere vellent, quos Athenas miserant, se remitterent, aliter illos numquam in patriam essent recepturi,

Nep. Them. 7 fin.:

aliter sine populi jussu nulli earum rerum consuli jus est,

Sall. C. 29, 3 Kritz:

aliter non viribus ullis Vincere poteris,

Verg. A. 6, 147:

veniam ostentantes, si praesentia sequerentur: aliter nihil spei,

Tac. H. 4, 59:

quoniam aliter non possem,

Vulg. Sap. 8, 21.—

Like alius (q. v. II. A.) repeated even several times in a distributive manner, in one way... in another: sed aliter leges, aliter philosophi tollunt astutias. Cic. Off. 3, 17, 68; so id. ib. 1, 12, 38; id. Lael. 24, 89; id. Fam. 15, 21, 6:

aliter utimur propriis, aliter commodatis,

Tac. Or. 32:

Aliter catuli longe olent, aliter sues,

Plaut. Ep. 4, 2, 9:

aliter Diodoro, aliter Philoni, Chrysippo aliter placet,

id. Ac. 2, 47, 143:

idem illud aliter Caesar, aliter Cicero, aliter Cato suadere debebit,

Quint. 3, 8, 49: Et aliter acutis morbis medendum, aliter vetustis; aliter increscentibus, aliter subsistentibus, aliter jam ad sanitatem inclinatis, Cels. prooem. p. 10.—

With alius or its derivatives, one in one way, another in another (v. alius, II. B.):

quoniam aliter ab aliis digeruntur,

Cic. de Or. 2, 19, 79; id. Att. 7, 8; Liv. 2, 21; so id. 39, 53:

hoc ex locorum occasione aliter alibi decernitur,

Plin. 18, 5, 6, § 30; so id. 25, 4, 10, § 29.—

Non aliter, analog. to non alius (v. alius, II. H.) with a comp. (only in Plin.):

non aliter utilius id fieri putare quam, etc.,

Plin. 37, 2, 10, § 28:

idque non aliter clarius intellegi potest,

id. 37, 4, 15, § 59; so id. 22, 22, 36, § 78; 24, 11, 50, § 85; 28, 9, 41, § 148; cf. Hand, Turs. I. pp. 267-276.

cerno, crēvi, crētum ( part. pass. cretus is apparently used only once:

cineris bene creti,

Pall. 12, 22, 3; but freq. in the compounds of cerno; for the simple part., the orig. form certus also is very rarely used:

certā deinde sorte senatus consultum factum est,

Liv. 36, 2, 2; v. under II. C., and cf. certus), 3, v. a. [root car- for scar-, to separate; cf. krinô; hence, skôr, stercus, screo; cf. cera].

To separate, sift (rare):

per cribrum, Cato. R. R. 107, 1: farinam cribro,

Plin. 18, 11, 29, § 115; cf. id. 33, 5, 26, § 87; Pall. Jun. 1; Veg. 3, 28, 6:

in cribris omnia cerne cavis,

Ov. Med. Fac. 62; cf.:

per densa foramina,

id. ib. 89:

cineris bene creti,

well sifted, Pall. Nov. 22.—Far more freq.,

Trop.

To separate, distinguish by the senses, mostly by the eyes, i. e. to perceive, see, discern (syn.: video, conspicio; class. in prose and poetry; most freq. probably in Lucretius, where it is used about a hundred times); rarely by the ears; v. infra: lumen jubarve in caelo cerno? [p. 319] Enn. ap. Varr. L. L. 6, § 81 Müll.;

7, § 76 ib.: sed quis illic est, procul quem video? estne hic Hegio? si satis cerno, is hercle'st,

Ter. Ad. 3, 3, 85:

tum porro varios rerum sentimus odores, nec tamen ad nareis venienteis cernimus umquam: nec voces cernere suemus,

Lucr. 1, 300; 4, 598:

quod nequeunt oculis rerum primordia cerni,

id. 1, 269; v. also id. 2, 314 sq.; 4, 242; cf. id. 2, 837:

acute,

id. 4, 811; cf.:

cerno acutum,

Hor. S. 1, 3, 26:

altaria exhalare vapore,

Lucr. 3, 432; 2, 928 al.—Hence, sometimes opp. to hearing:

ut non solum auribus acciperetur, sed etiam oculis cerneretur,

Nep. Timol. 2, 2;

or to mental perception: quem ego tam video animo, quam ea, quae oculis cernimus,

Cic. Fam. 6, 3, 2:

nos enim ne nunc quidem oculis cernimus ea, quae videmus,

id. Tusc. 1, 20, 46:

quae cernere et videre non possumus,

id. de Or. 3, 40, 161; cf. id. Rep. 6, 20, 21 sq.:

ego Catuli Cumanum ex hoc loco cerno, Pompeianum non cerno,

id. Ac. 2, 25, 80:

ut ea cernimus quae videmus,

id. Mil. 29, 79:

omnia sic aperiam, ut ea cernere oculis videamini,

id. Clu. 24, 66:

coram aliquid,

to witness, Caes. B. G. 6, 8; Verg. A. 2, 538:

aliquem,

Caes. B. G. 6, 21:

acies a nostris cernebatur,

id. B. C. 3, 69:

in sole sidera ipsa desinunt cerni,

Quint. 8, 5, 29:

simile quiddam facientes aves cernimus,

id. 2, 6, 7:

me miserum, turbā quod non ego cernar in illā,

Ov. P. 4, 4, 43:

Constitit alma Venus, nulli cernenda,

id. M. 15, 844; Curt. 8, 13, 16; Tac. A. 1, 59.—With acc. and inf.: sensumque inesse et motum in membris cerno, Canius ap. Varr. L. L. 6, § 81 Müll.:

neque mutari ac misceri omnia cerneres,

Sall. C. 2, 3: quos ad resistendum concucurrisse cernebat, * Suet. Caes. 15 fin.:

cernis ut insultent Rutuli?

Verg. A. 10, 20:

cerne quam tenui vos parte contingat,

Cic. Rep. 6, 20, 21:

cerneres, quanta audacia fuisset, etc.,

Sall. C. 61, 1.— Impers. with acc. and inf.:

cernebatur, novissimos illorum premi vehementer,

Caes. B. C. 1, 64 Herz. N. cr. — So impers. with rel. -clause:

ut non solum auribus acciperetur, sed etiam oculis cerneretur quem detulisset,

Nep. Timol. 2, 2. —Ante-class., of the hearing: vox illius certe est: idem omnes cernimus, Att. ap. Non. p. 261, 11, and perh. also, Titin. ap. Prisc. p. 898 P.—Hence,

Cerni aliquā re or in aliquā re, to become distinguished or known in something:

fortis animus et magnus duabus rebus maxime cernitur,

Cic. Off. 1, 20, 66; so id. Tusc. 5, 8, 22: amicus certus in re incertā cernitur, Enn. ap. Cic. Lael. 17, 64:

atque hae quidem virtutes cernuntur in agendo,

Cic. Part. Or. 23, 78; id. Top. 21, 80 (also in Quint. 3, 5, 18).—

Have before the mind, have respect to, regard any one:

ubi gratus, si non eum ipsi cernunt grati, cui referunt gratiam?

Cic. Leg. 1, 18, 49.—

Transf. to intellectual objects, to perceive, comprehend, understand (syn.:

intellego, cognosco, perspicio): neque tanta in rebus obscuritas, ut eas (res) non penitus acri vir ingenio cernat, si modo aspexerit,

Cic. de Or. 3, 31, 124:

jam cernam mene an illam potiorem putes, id. poët. Tusc. 2, 9, 20: (antiquitas) hoc melius ea fortasse, quae erant vera, cernebat,

id. ib. 1, 12, 26; id. Fin. 1, 19, 64; id. Top. 5, 27; id. N. D. 1, 19, 49; id. Fam. 5, 12, 2:

quae cum ego non solum suspicarer, sed plane cernerem,

id. Agr. 2, 4, 9; id. de Or. 3, 31, 124:

ut consuetum facile amorem cerneres,

Ter. And. 1, 1, 108.—Hence,

Rarely of future events, to foresee, discern beforehand:

cerno animo sepultā in patriā miseros atque insepultos acervos civium,

Cic. Cat. 4, 6, 11:

cerno jam animo, quanto omnia uberiora atque ornatiora futura sint,

id. Fam. 5, 12, 2.—

To decide something that is contested or doubtful (judicially), to decree, determine (more rare than decernere):

quotcumque senatus creverit populusque jusserit tot sunto,

Cic. Leg. 3, 3, 8:

quodcumque senatus creverit agunto,

id. ib. 3, 3, 8, § 6: jurati cernant. Pac. ap. Non. p. 261, 13:

illum locum tempusque consilio destinatum quid de Armeniā cernerent,

Tac. A. 15, 14:

priusquam id sors cerneret,

Liv. 43, 12, 2:

certā sorte,

after the lot was decided, id. 36, 2, 2.—Hence,

To decide by contending or fighting (more rare than the freq. certare, and even in Seneca's time out of use; cf. Sen. Ep. 58, 3): ferro non auro vitam ( acc. respect = de vitā) cernamus utrique, Enn. ap. Cic. Off. 1, 12, 38; id. ap. Non. p. 261, 19, and ap. Varr. L. L. 6, § 81 Müll.; Pac. ap. Non. p. 261, 21: nisi esset qui armis secum vellet cernere, Att. ap. Non. p. 261, 17:

cernere ferro,

Verg. A. 12, 709 (also ap. Sen. Ep. 58, 3); so,

cernere certamen,

Plaut. Bacch. 3, 2, 15; id. Cas. 3, 1, 2; Lucr. 5, 394: pro patriā, pro liberis, pro aris atque focis suis, * Sall. C. 59, 5 Kritz N. cr. (al. certare):

seu libeat duplicem sejunctim cernere martem,

Tib. 4, 1, 103.—Humorously, Plaut. Trin. 2, 4, 77.—

In gen., to decide for something, to conclude upon, resolve (syn.: constituo, decerno; also rare): praesidium castris educere, Lucil. ap. Non. p. 261, 5:

acribus inter se cum armis confligere,

id. ib. p. 261, 6:

te mihi amicam esse crevi,

Plaut. Cist. 1, 1, 1 (crevi valet constitui, Varr. L. L. 7, § 98 Müll.); Cat. 64, 150.—Hence,

In judic. lang. t. t., of inheritances.

To resolve to enter upon an inheritance, Varr. L. L. 7, § 98 Müll.; cf. Tit. 22, 27, and cretio.—

To make known this determination, Tit. 22, 28 and 30; Cic. Att. 11, 2, 1.—

= adire, to enter upon an inheritance, Cic. Agr. 2, 15, 40; Liv. 24, 25, 3; 40, 8, 17; Plin. Ep. 10, 79, 2; Quint. Decl. 261; Fest. p. 41.—

In partic.

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.
