to throw one's self away

ăbĭcĭo or abjĭc- (in the best MSS. abicio; cf.

ăbĭci,

Ov. P. 2, 3, 37;

ăbĭcit,

Juv. 15, 17), ĕre, jēci, jectum, 3, v. a. [ab-jacio], to cast away, to throw away, throw down.

Lit.:

in sepulcrum ejus abjecta gleba non est,

Varr. L. L. 5, § 23 Müll.:

scutum,

Cic. Tusc. 2, 23:

insigne regium de capite,

id. Sest. 27:

socer ad pedes abjectus,

id. ib. 34; so,

se ad pedes,

id. Phil. 2, 34, 86:

se e muro in mare,

id. Tusc. 1, 34; so,

corpus in mare,

id. Phil. 11, 2, 5:

impelluntur, feriuntur, abiciuntur, cadunt,

id. Tusc. 2, 15, 36:

se abjecit exanimatus,

he threw himself down as if lifeless, id. Sest. 37.— Absol.:

si te uret sarcina, abicito,

throw it down, Hor. Ep. 1, 13, 7.—Also with in and abl., when the place from which a thing is thrown is designated:

anulum in mari,

Cic. Fin. 5, 30, 92 Madv. N. cr.; so, ut se abiceret in herba, id. de Or. 1, 7, 28:

statuas in propatulo domi,

Nep. Hann. 9, 3:

cadaver in viā,

Suet. Ner. 48; cf.:

ubi cadaver abjeceris,

Tac. A. 1, 22.

Fig.

In gen., to cast off, throw away, give up, etc.:

ut primum tenebris abjectis inalbabat,

as soon as the day, having dispelled the darkness, was beginning to brighten, Enn. Ann. v. 219 Vahl.: nusquam ego vidi abjectas aedīs, nisi modo hasce, thrown away, i.e. sold too low, Plaut. Most. 3, 3, 3: psaltria aliquo abiciendast, must be got rid off ( il faut se defaire d'elle, Dacier), Ter. Ad. 4, 7, 26:

vitam,

Cic. Att. 3, 19:

salutem pro aliquo,

id. Planc. 33:

memoriam beneficiorum,

id. Phil. 8, 11:

versum,

to declaim it carelessly, id. de Or. 3, 26 (cf. with id. ib. 3, 59: ponendus est ille ambitus, non abiciendus, the period must be brought gradually to a close, not broken off abruptly).

In partic.

To throw off, cast aside care for, remembrance of, etc., to give up, abandon:

abicimus ista,

we let that go, Cic. Att. 13, 3:

fama ingenii mihi est abicienda,

I must renounce, id. ib. 9, 16: domum Sullanam desperabam jam... sed tamen non abjeci, but yet I have not abandoned it, i. e. its purchase, id. Fam. 9, 15:

abjectis nugis,

nonsense apart, Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 141 (cf. amoto ludo, id. S. 1, 1, 27).

To cast down to a lower grade, to degrade, humble, Cic. Leg. 1, 9: hic annus senatus auctoritatem abjecit, degraded or lowered the authority of the Senate, id. Att. 1, 18; so also id. Tusc. 5, 18; id. de Or. 3, 26, 104.—Hence, abjectae res, reduced circumstances (opp. florentes), Nep. Att. 8; Cic. Quint. 30; Tac. A. 4, 68.

Abicere se, to throw one's self away, degrade one's self, v. Cic. Tusc. 2, 23: ut enim fit, etc.—Hence, abjectus, a, um, P. a., downcast, disheartened, désponding; low, mean, abject, worthless, unprincipled.

Quo me miser conferam? An domum? matremne ut miseram lamentantem videam et abjectam? Gracch. ap. Cic. de Or. 3, 56, 214:

plura scribere non possum, ita sum animo perculso et abjecto,

Cic. Att. 3, 2.—

Nihil abjectum, nihil humile cogitare, Cic. Fin. 5, 20:

contemptum atque abjectum,

id. Agr. 2, 34:

verbis nec inops nec abjectus,

id. Brut. 62, 222 al. — Comp.:

animus abjectior,

Cic. Lael. 16; Liv. 9, 6.— Sup.:

animus abjectissimus,

Quint. 11, 1, 13 al. — Adv.: abjectē.

Dispiritedly, despondingly:

in dolore est providendum, ne quid abjecte, ne quid timide, ne quid ignave faciamus,

Cic. Tusc. 2, 23, 55; id. Phil. 3, 11, 28.—

Low, meanly:

quo sordidius et abjectius nati sunt,

Tac. Or. 8:

incuriose et abjecte verbum positum,

improperly, Gell. 2, 6, 1.

cōnĭcĭo (also conjĭcio and cōicio; cf. Munro ad Lucr. 2, 1061; Laber. ap. Gell. 16, 7, 5), jēci, jectum, 3, v. a. (arch. temp. perf. conjexi, Plaut. Trin. 3, 2, 99) [jacio].

To throw or bring together, to unite, = cogo, colligo.

Lit. (very rare):

cum semina rerum coaluerint quae, conjecta repente, etc.,

Lucr. 2, 1061; cf. id. 2, 1073 sq.:

palliolum in collum,

Plaut. Ep. 2, 2, 10; id. Capt. 4, 1, 12 (cf. id. ib. 4, 2, 9:

collecto pallio): sarcinas in medium,

Liv. 10, 36, 1 Weissenb. (MSS. in medio); ib. § 13; 31, 27, 7: tecta, quae conjectis celeriter stramentis erant inaedificata, Auct. B. G. 8, 5. —

Trop.

To throw together in speaking, to dispute, contend, discuss, manage judicially (ante-class.): verba inter sese, to bandy words, Afran. ap. Non. p. 267, 28;

so without verba: noli, mea mater, me praesente cum patre, conicere,

id. ib. p. 267, 30;

p. 268, 3: causam conicere hodie ad te volo (conicere, agere, Non.),

id. ib. p. 267, 32; cf. the law formula: ante meridiem causam coiciunto, Fragm. XII. Tab. ap. Auct. Her. 2, 13, 20; and Gell. 17, 2, 10.—

Like the Gr. sumballein (v. Lidd. and Scott in h. v. III. 2.), to put together logically, connect, unite; hence (causa pro effectu), to draw a conclusion from collected particulars, to conclude, infer, conjecture (not in Quint., who very freq. employed the synon. colligo):

aliquid ex aliquā re,

Lucr. 1, 751; 2, 121; Nep. Eum. 2, 2; id. Timoth. 4, 2:

annos sexaginta natus es aut plus, ut conicio,

Ter. Phorm. 1, 3, 15.—

In partic., t. t. of the lang. of augury, to prophesy, foretell, divine from omens, signs ( a dream, oracle, etc.); to interpret an omen, a dream, an oracle, etc.:

somnium huic,

Plaut. Curc. 2, 2, 3:

qui de matre suaviandā ex oraculo Apollinis tam acute arguteque conjecerit,

Cic. Brut. 14, 53:

male conjecta maleque interpretata falsa sunt, etc.,

id. Div. 1, 52, 119; cf. id. ib. 2, 31, 66:

num igitur quae tempestas impendeat vatis melius coniciet quam gubernator? etc.,

bene qui coniciet, vatem hunc perhibebo optumum (transl. of a Greek verse),

id. ib. 2, 5, 12; cf. conjectura, II., conjector, and conjectrix.—

To throw, cast, urge, drive, hurl, put, place, etc., a person or thing with force, quickly, etc., to or towards; and conicere se, to betake, cast, or throw one's self hastily or in flight somewhere (very freq. and class. in prose and poetry).
