17 Honos

hŏnor or hŏnos (the latter form almost exclusively in Cic., who has honor only Phil. 9, 6 fin., and Fragm. pro Tull. 21; also in Caes., Liv., Sall., Prop., Verg., Nep., and Curt.; but honor in Sen., Vell., Ov.; and Hor. and Tac. use both forms. Honos was antiquated in Quintilian's day, v. Quint. 1, 4, 13; Neue, Formenl. 1, 168 sq.), ōris (archaic gen. honorus, like venerus, Lex Puteol. ap. Haubold, n. 7), m. [perh. Sanscr. hu-, call], honor, repute, esteem in which a person or thing is held.

ipso vigesimo anno,
id. Verr. 2, 2, 9, § 25. —
F.
In reflexive uses,
1.
Ipse strengthens the subject when opposed in thought to other agents; the object, when opposed to other objects; cf. Zumpt, Gram. § 696; Kennedy, Gram. § 67, 3; Madv. Gram. § 487, 6. — Hence,
a.
With subject.
(α).
In gen.:
non egeo medicina (i. e. ut alii me consolentur), me ipse consolor,
Cic. Lael. 3, 10:
Junius necem sibi ipse conscivit,
id. N. D. 2, 3, 7:
neque potest exercitum is continere imperator, qui se ipse non continet,
id. de Imp. Pomp. 13, 38:
Artaxerxes se ipse reprehendit,
Nep. Dat. 5:
ipsa se virtus satis ostendit,
Sall. J. 85; cf.:
deponendo tutelam ipse in se unum omnium vires convertit,
Liv. 24, 4, 9:
deforme etiam est de se ipsum praedicare,
Cic. Off. 1, 38, 137.—
(β).
With special emphasis, ipse is joined to the subject to indicate its relation to itself as both subject and object, though the antithesis would suggest another case (Cic.):
cum iste sic erat humilis atque demissus, ut non modo populo Romano, sed etiam sibi ipse condemnatus videretur,
Cic. Verr. 1, 6, 17:
si quis ipse sibi inimicus est,
id. Fin. 5, 10, 28:
qui ipsi sibi bellum indixissent,
id. ib. 5, 10, 29:
quoniam se ipsi omnes natura diligant,
id. ib. 3, 18, 59:
nam si ex scriptis cognosci ipsi suis potuissent,

b.
With object:
neque vero ipsam amicitiam tueri (possumus), nisi aeque amicos et nosmet ipsos diligamus,
Cic. Fin. 1, 20, 67:
omne animal se ipsum diligit,
id. ib. 5, 9, 24:
fac ut diligentissime te ipsum custodias,
id. Fam. 9, 14, 8:
Pompeianus miles fratrem suum, dein se ipsum interfecit,
Tac. H. 3, 51:
Lentulum, quem mihi ipsi antepono,
Cic. Fam. 3, 7, 5.—
2.
Ipse defines the subject of a reflexive pronoun:
natura movet infantem, sed tantum ut se ipse diligat (where ipse shows that se refers to infantem),
Cic. Fin. 2, 10, 33: proinde consulant sibi ipsi;
jubeant abire se,
Just. 16, 4, 15:
neque prius vim adhibendam putaverunt, quam se ipse indicasset,
Nep. Paus. 4:
in portis murisque sibimet ipsos tecta coëgerat aedificare,
Liv. 27, 3, 2 (cf. 1. a. supra).—
3.
Ipse stands for the reflexive pronoun,
a.
Where the person or thing referred to is to be emphatically distinguished from others (class.):
cum omnes se expetendos putent, nec id ob aliam rem, sed propter ipsos, necesse est ejus etiam partes propter se expeti, etc.,
Cic. Fin. 5, 17, 46:
quis umquam consul senatum ipsius decretis parere prohibuit?
id. Sest. 14, 32:
quos, quidquid ipsis expediat, facturos arbitrabimur,
id. Fin. 2, 35, 117:
qui negant se recusare, quo minus, ipsis mortuis, terrarum deflagratio consequatur,
id. ib. 3, 19, 64:
nec quid ipsius natura sit intellegit,
id. ib. 5, 9, 24.—
b.
In a subordinate clause, to point out either the subject of the principal clause, or the chief agent or speaker;
esp. where se or sibi is already applied to the subject of the subordinate clause: ne ob eam rem aut suae magnopere virtuti tribueret aut ipsos despiceret,
Caes. B. G. 1, 13, 5:
legatos ad consulem mittit, qui tantum modo ipsi liberisque vitam peterent,
Sall. J. 16, 2; cf.:
ipsis mortuis,
Cic. Fin. 3, 19, 64:
supra nihil, quantum in ipso est, praetermittere quo minus, etc.,
id. Leg. 1, 21, 56:
ipsius,
id. ib. 2, 22, 55:
nihil umquam audivi... nihil de re publica gravius, nihil de ipso modestius, i. e. de ipso dicente,
id. Balb. 1, 2: id quod ipsum adjuvat (i. e. dicentem;
opp. id quod adversario prodest),
id. Inv. 1, 21, 30.—
c.
In gen., for an emphatic se or sibi (mostly post-Aug.; v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. 3, 12, 40):
nam ipsis certum esse, etc.,
Liv. 35, 46, 13:
pravitas consulum discordiaque inter ipsos,
id. 4, 26, 6:
inexperta remedia haud injuria ipsis esse suspecta,
Curt. 3, 5, 15:
Graecis nuntiare jubet, ipsum quidem gratias agere, etc.,
id. 3, 8, 7:
dixit, ab illo deo ipsos genus ducere,
id. 4, 2, 3:
a quibus nec acceperunt injuriam nec accepisse ipsos existimant, Sen. de Ira, 2, 5, 1: intemperantiam in morbo suam experti parere ipsis vetant,
id. ib. 3, 13, 5:
sciunt ipsos omnia habere communia,
id. Ep. 6, 3; 22, 10 et saep.; cf.:
verum est etiam iis, qui aliquando futuri sint, esse propter ipsos consulendum,
Cic. Fin. 3, 19, 64.—
4.
Ipse stands in free constr. with abl. absol. as with finite verb (cf. also quisque;
only freq. in Liv. and post-Aug. writers): cum dies venit, causa ipse pro se dicta, quindecim milibus aeris damnatur,
Liv. 4, 44, 10 Weissenb. ad loc.:
Romani imperatores, junctis et ipsi exercitibus... ad sedem hostium pervenere,
id. 29, 2, 2:
C. Popilius, dimissis et ipse Atticis navibus... pergit,
id. 45, 10, 2; cf.:
Catilina et Autronius parabant consules interficere, ipsi fascibus conreptis Pisonem cum exercitu mittere,
Sall. C. 18, 5:
amisso et ipse Pacoro,
Tac. G. 37; cf. also the emphatic use of ipse (like quisque) with abl. of gerund (freq. in Liv.):
adsentando indignandoque et ipse,
Liv. 40, 23, 1:
cogendo ipse,
id. 39, 49, 3:
agendo ipse,
id. 41, 24, 2:
aestimando ipse secum,
id. 25, 23, 11 et saep.
► Ipse is very rarely strengthened by the suffix -met:
ipsemet abiit,
Plaut.
Am. prol. 102:
ipsimet nobis,
Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 1, § 3:
ipsemet profugiam,
Sen. Ep. 117, 21; also Front. Aq. 74 ex conj.— Sup.: Com. Ergo ipsusne es? Charm. Ipsissumus, his own very self, Plaut. Trin. 4, 2, 146; cf. Gr. autotatos, Aristoph. Plut. 83; so,
ipsimus and ipsima, for dominus and domina (cf II. A. supra),
Petr. 75, 11; and:
ipsimi nostri,
id. 63, 3 Büch. ex conj.

ipso vigesimo anno,
id. Verr. 2, 2, 9, § 25. —
F.
In reflexive uses,
1.
Ipse strengthens the subject when opposed in thought to other agents; the object, when opposed to other objects; cf. Zumpt, Gram. § 696; Kennedy, Gram. § 67, 3; Madv. Gram. § 487, 6. — Hence,
a.
With subject.
(α).
In gen.:
non egeo medicina (i. e. ut alii me consolentur), me ipse consolor,
Cic. Lael. 3, 10:
Junius necem sibi ipse conscivit,
id. N. D. 2, 3, 7:
neque potest exercitum is continere imperator, qui se ipse non continet,
id. de Imp. Pomp. 13, 38:
Artaxerxes se ipse reprehendit,
Nep. Dat. 5:
ipsa se virtus satis ostendit,
Sall. J. 85; cf.:
deponendo tutelam ipse in se unum omnium vires convertit,
Liv. 24, 4, 9:
deforme etiam est de se ipsum praedicare,
Cic. Off. 1, 38, 137.—
(β).
With special emphasis, ipse is joined to the subject to indicate its relation to itself as both subject and object, though the antithesis would suggest another case (Cic.):
cum iste sic erat humilis atque demissus, ut non modo populo Romano, sed etiam sibi ipse condemnatus videretur,
Cic. Verr. 1, 6, 17:
si quis ipse sibi inimicus est,
id. Fin. 5, 10, 28:
qui ipsi sibi bellum indixissent,
id. ib. 5, 10, 29:
quoniam se ipsi omnes natura diligant,
id. ib. 3, 18, 59:
nam si ex scriptis cognosci ipsi suis potuissent,
id. de Or. 2, 2, 8.—
b.
With object:
neque vero ipsam amicitiam tueri (possumus), nisi aeque amicos et nosmet ipsos diligamus,
Cic. Fin. 1, 20, 67:
omne animal se ipsum diligit,
id. ib. 5, 9, 24:
fac ut diligentissime te ipsum custodias,
id. Fam. 9, 14, 8:
Pompeianus miles fratrem suum, dein se ipsum interfecit,
Tac. H. 3, 51:
Lentulum, quem mihi ipsi antepono,
Cic. Fam. 3, 7, 5.—
2.
Ipse defines the subject of a reflexive pronoun:
natura movet infantem, sed tantum ut se ipse diligat (where ipse shows that se refers to infantem),
Cic. Fin. 2, 10, 33: proinde consulant sibi ipsi;
jubeant abire se,
Just. 16, 4, 15:
neque prius vim adhibendam putaverunt, quam se ipse indicasset,
Nep. Paus. 4:
in portis murisque sibimet ipsos tecta coëgerat aedificare,
Liv. 27, 3, 2 (cf. 1. a. supra).—
3.
Ipse stands for the reflexive pronoun,
a.
Where the person or thing referred to is to be emphatically distinguished from others (class.):
cum omnes se expetendos putent, nec id ob aliam rem, sed propter ipsos, necesse est ejus etiam partes propter se expeti, etc.,
Cic. Fin. 5, 17, 46:
quis umquam consul senatum ipsius decretis parere prohibuit?
id. Sest. 14, 32:
quos, quidquid ipsis expediat, facturos arbitrabimur,
id. Fin. 2, 35, 117:
qui negant se recusare, quo minus, ipsis mortuis, terrarum deflagratio consequatur,
id. ib. 3, 19, 64:
nec quid ipsius natura sit intellegit,
id. ib. 5, 9, 24.—
b.
In a subordinate clause, to point out either the subject of the principal clause, or the chief agent or speaker;
esp. where se or sibi is already applied to the subject of the subordinate clause: ne ob eam rem aut suae magnopere virtuti tribueret aut ipsos despiceret,
Caes. B. G. 1, 13, 5:
legatos ad consulem mittit, qui tantum modo ipsi liberisque vitam peterent,
Sall. J. 16, 2; cf.:
ipsis mortuis,
Cic. Fin. 3, 19, 64:
supra nihil, quantum in ipso est, praetermittere quo minus, etc.,
id. Leg. 1, 21, 56:
ipsius,
id. ib. 2, 22, 55:
nihil umquam audivi... nihil de re publica gravius, nihil de ipso modestius, i. e. de ipso dicente,
id. Balb. 1, 2: id quod ipsum adjuvat (i. e. dicentem;
opp. id quod adversario prodest),
id. Inv. 1, 21, 30.—
c.
In gen., for an emphatic se or sibi (mostly post-Aug.; v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. 3, 12, 40):
nam ipsis certum esse, etc.,
Liv. 35, 46, 13:
pravitas consulum discordiaque inter ipsos,
id. 4, 26, 6:
inexperta remedia haud injuria ipsis esse suspecta,
Curt. 3, 5, 15:
Graecis nuntiare jubet, ipsum quidem gratias agere, etc.,
id. 3, 8, 7:
dixit, ab illo deo ipsos genus ducere,
id. 4, 2, 3:
a quibus nec acceperunt injuriam nec accepisse ipsos existimant, Sen. de Ira, 2, 5, 1: intemperantiam in morbo suam experti parere ipsis vetant,
id. ib. 3, 13, 5:
sciunt ipsos omnia habere communia,
id. Ep. 6, 3; 22, 10 et saep.; cf.:
verum est etiam iis, qui aliquando futuri sint, esse propter ipsos consulendum,
Cic. Fin. 3, 19, 64.—
4.
Ipse stands in free constr. with abl. absol. as with finite verb (cf. also quisque;
only freq. in Liv. and post-Aug. writers): cum dies venit, causa ipse pro se dicta, quindecim milibus aeris damnatur,
Liv. 4, 44, 10 Weissenb. ad loc.:
Romani imperatores, junctis et ipsi exercitibus... ad sedem hostium pervenere,
id. 29, 2, 2:
C. Popilius, dimissis et ipse Atticis navibus... pergit,
id. 45, 10, 2; cf.:
Catilina et Autronius parabant consules interficere, ipsi fascibus conreptis Pisonem cum exercitu mittere,
Sall. C. 18, 5:
amisso et ipse Pacoro,
Tac. G. 37; cf. also the emphatic use of ipse (like quisque) with abl. of gerund (freq. in Liv.):
adsentando indignandoque et ipse,
Liv. 40, 23, 1:
cogendo ipse,
id. 39, 49, 3:
agendo ipse,
id. 41, 24, 2:
aestimando ipse secum,
id. 25, 23, 11 et saep.
► Ipse is very rarely strengthened by the suffix -met:
ipsemet abiit,
Plaut.
Am. prol. 102:
ipsimet nobis,
Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 1, § 3:
ipsemet profugiam,
Sen. Ep. 117, 21; also Front. Aq. 74 ex conj.— Sup.: Com. Ergo ipsusne es? Charm. Ipsissumus, his own very self, Plaut. Trin. 4, 2, 146; cf. Gr. autotatos, Aristoph. Plut. 83; so,
ipsimus and ipsima, for dominus and domina (cf II. A. supra),
Petr. 75, 11; and:
ipsimi nostri,
id. 63, 3 Büch. ex conj.
