To drive or carry off (animals or men), to steal, rob, plunder (usually abigere):

Et redigunt actos in sua rura boves,

Ov. F. 3, 64.—So esp. freq. of men or animals taken as booty in war, while ferre is used of portable things; hence, ferre et agere (as in Gr. agein kai pherein, Hom. Il. 5, 484; and reversed, pherein kai agein, in Hdt. and Xen.; cf.:

rapiunt feruntque,

Verg. A. 2, 374:

Cic. Rosc. Com. 8:

Est tanti habere animam ut agam?

Sen. Ep. 101, 12; and with a play upon words: semper agis causas et res agis, Attale, semper. Est, non est, quod agas, Attale, semper agis. Si res et causae desunt, agis, Attale, mulas;

Attale, ne quod agas desit, agas animam,

Trop.

Spec., to guide, govern:

Tros Tyriusque mihi nullo discrimine agetur,

Verg. A. 1, 574; cf. Forbig. ad h. 1., who considers it the only instance of this use, and compares a similar use of agô; v. L. and S. s. v. II. 2.—

In gen., to move, impel, excite, urge to a thing, to prompt or induce to:

si quis ad illa deus te agat,

Hor. S. 2, 7, 24:

Ov. M. 14, 750:

futurae mortis agor stimulis,

Luc. 4, 517; cf. Matth. ad Cic. Mur. § 21.—

To drive at something, to pursue a course of action, i. e. to make something an object of action; either in the most general sense, like the Engl. do and the Gr. prattein, for every kind of mental or physical employment; or, in a more restricted sense, to exhibit in external action, to act or perform, to deliver or pronounce, etc., so that after the act is completed nothing remains permanent, e. g. a speech, dance, play, etc. (while facere, to make, poiein, denotes the production of an object which continues to exist after the act is completed; and gerere, the performance of the duties of an office or calling).—On these significations, v. Varr. 6, 6, 62, and 6, 7, 64, and 6, 8, 72.—For the more restricted signif. v. Quint. 2, 18, 1 sq.; cf. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 7, 12; Hab. Syn. 426.

In the most gen. signif., to do, act, labor, in opp. to rest or idleness.

numquam se plus agere quam nihil cum ageret,

En agedum convertite,

Prop. 1, 1, 21:

mittite, agedum, legatos,

Liv. 38, 47:

Ite age,

Stat. Th. 10, 33:

Huc age adeste,

Sil. 11, 169.—

In transitions in discourse, well then! well now! well! (esp. in Cic. Or. very freq.). So in Plaut. for resuming discourse that has been interrupted: age, tu interea huic somnium narra, Curc. 2, 2, 5: nunc age, res quoniam docui non posse creari, etc., well now, since I have taught, etc., Lucr. 1, 266:

nunc age, quod superest, cognosce et clarius audi,

id. 1, 920; so id. 1, 952; 2, 62; 333; 730; 3, 418;

4, 109 al.: age porro, tu, qui existimari te voluisti interpretem foederum, cur, etc.,

Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 22; so id. Rosc. Am. 16; id. Part. 12; id. Att. 8, 3.—And age (as in a.) with a verb in the plur.:

age vero, ceteris in rebus qualis sit temperantia considerate,

Cic. Imp. Pomp. 14; so id. Sull. 26; id. Mil. 21; id. Rosc. Am. 37.—

As a sign of assent, well! very well! good! right! Age, age, mansero, Plaut. As. 2, 2, 61: age, age, jam ducat;

dabo,

Ter. Phorm. 4, 3, 57:

Age, veniam,

id. And. 4, 2, 30:

age, sit ita factum,

Cic. Mil. 19:

age sane,

Plaut. Ps. 5, 2, 27; Cic. Fin. 2, 35, 119.

—Age, used with another verb in the imperative, regularly stands before it, but in poetry, for the sake of the metre, it,

Sometimes follows such verb; as,

In dactylic metre:

Cede agedum,

Prop. 5, 9, 54:

Dic age,

Verg. A. 6, 343; Hor. S. 2, 7, 92; Ov. F. 1, 149:

Esto age,

Pers. 2, 42:

Fare age,

Verg. A. 3, 362:

Finge age,

Ov. H. 7, 65:

Redde age,

Hor. S. 2, 8, 80:

Surge age,

Verg. A. 3, 169; 8, 59; 10, 241; Ov. H. 14, 73:

Vade age,

Verg. A. 3, 462; 4, 422; so,

agite: Ite agite,

Prop. 4, 3, 7.—

In other metres (very rarely):

appropera age,

Plaut. Cas. 2, 2, 38:

dic age,

Hor. C. 1, [p. 77] 32, 3; 2, 11, 22;

3, 4, 1.—So also in prose (very rarely): Mittite agedum,

Liv. 38, 47:

procedat agedum ad pugnam,

id. 7, 9.—

It is often separated from such verb:

age me huc adspice,

Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 118; id. Capt. 5, 2, 1:

Age... instiga,

Ter. And. 4, 2, 10; 5, 6, 11:

Quare agite... conjungite,

Cat. 64, 372:

Huc age... veni,

Tib. 2, 5, 2:

Ergo age cervici imponere nostrae,

Verg. A. 2, 707:

en age segnis Rumpe moras,

id. G. 3, 42:

age te procellae Crede,

Hor. C. 3, 27, 62:

Age jam... condisce,

id. ib. 4, 11, 31; id. S. 2, 7, 4.—Hence,

ăgens, entis, P. a.

Adj.

Efficient, effective, powerful (only in the rhet. lang. of Cic.):

utendum est imaginibus agentibus, acribus, insignitis,

Cic. de Or. 2, 87, 358:

acre orator, incensus et agens,

id. Brut. 92, 317.— Comp. and sup. not used.

For agrimensores, land-surveyors, Hyg. Lim. p. 179.—

actus, a, um, P. a. Lit., that has been transacted in the Senate, in the forum, before the courts of justice, etc.; hence,

Cic. Phil. 1, 7:

acta Caesaris servanda censeo,

id. ib. 1, 7:

acta tui praeclari tribunatus,

id. Dom. 31.—

acta publĭca, or absol.: acta, orum, n., the register of public acts, records, journal. Julius Caesar, in his consulship, ordered that the doings of the Senate (diurna acta) should be made public, Suet. Caes. 20; cf. Ernest. Exc. 1;

but Augustus again prohibited it,

Suet. Aug. 36. Still the acts of the Senate were written down, and, under the succeeding emperors. certain senators were appointed to this office (actis vel commentariis Senatus conficiendis), Tac. A. 5, 4. They had also public registers of the transactions of the assemblies of the people, and of the different courts of justice;

also of births and deaths, marriages, divorces, etc., which were preserved as sources of future history.—Hence, diurna urbis acta,

the city journal, Tac. A. 13, 31:

acta populi,

Suet. Caes. 20:

acta publica,

Tac. A. 12, 24; Suet. Tib. 8; Plin. Ep. 7, 33:

AGIER = agi,

Cic. Off. 3, 15;

agentum = agentium,

Vulc. Gall. Av. Cass. 4, 6) [cf. agô; Sanscr. ag, aghami = to go, to drive; agmas = way, train = ogmos; agis = race, contest = agôn; perh. also Germ. jagen, to drive, to hunt], to put in motion, to move (syn.: agitare, pellere, urgere).

Lit.

Of cattle and other animals, to lead, drive.

Absol.: agas asellum, Seip. ap. Cic. de Or. 2, 64, 258:

Quint. 8, 3, 69:

captivos sub curribus agere,

Mart. 8, 26:

agimur auguriis quaerere exilia,

Verg. A. 3, 5;

and simple for comp.: multis milibus armatorum actis ex ea regione = coactis,

Liv. 44, 31.— In prose: agi, to be led, to march, to go:

quo multitudo omnis consternata agebatur,

Liv. 10, 29: si citius agi vellet agmen, that the army would move, or march on quicker, id. 2, 58:

raptim agmine acto,

id. 6, 28; so id. 23, 36; 25, 9.— Trop.:

egit sol hiemem sub terras,

Verg. G. 4, 51:

poemata dulcia sunto Et quocumque volent animum auditoris agunto,

lead the mind, Hor. A. P. 100. —Hence, poet.: se agere, to betake one's self, i. e. to go, to come (in Plaut. very freq.;

also in Ter., Verg., etc.): quo agis te?

where are you going? Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 294:

unde agis te?

id. Most. 1, 4, 28; so id. ib. 3, 1, 31; id. Mil. 3, 2, 49; id. Poen. 1, 2, 120; id. Pers. 4, 3, 13; id. Trin. 4, 3, 71:

Plaut. Bacch. 5, 1, 20:

Quo agis?

id. Pers. 2, 2, 34:

Huc age,

Tib. 2, 5, 2 (unless age is here to be taken with veni at the end of the line).—

To drive or carry off (animals or men), to steal, rob, plunder (usually abigere):

Et redigunt actos in sua rura boves,

Ov. F. 3, 64.—So esp. freq. of men or animals taken as booty in war, while ferre is used of portable things; hence, ferre et agere (as in Gr. agein kai pherein, Hom. Il. 5, 484; and reversed, pherein kai agein, in Hdt. and Xen.; cf.:

rapiunt feruntque,

Verg. A. 2, 374:

rapere et auferre,

Cic. Off. 1, 14), in gen., to rob, to plunder: res sociorum ferri agique vidit, Liv. 22, 3:

ut ferri agique res suas viderunt,

id. 38, 15; so id. 3, 37;

so also: rapere agereque: ut ex alieno agro raperent agerentque,

Liv. 22, 1, 2; but portari atque agi means to bear and carry, to bring together, in Caes. B. C. 2, 29 (as pherein kai agein in Plat. Phaedr. 279, C):

ne pulcram praedam agat,

Plaut. Aul. 4, 2, 3:

urbes, agros vastare, praedas agere,

Sall. J. 20, 8; 32, 3:

pecoris et mancipiorum praedas,

id. ib. 44, 5;

citos canes,

Ov. H. 5, 20:

feros tauros,

Suet. Claud. 21.—

Of men:

ceteros ruerem, agerem,

Verg. A. 5, 265; cf. id. ib. 1, 574:

aliquem in exsilium,

22, 1, 16 al.: aliquem in fugam,

id. 16, 2, 3.—

Of inanimate or abstract objects, to move, impel, push forwards, advance, carry to or toward any point:

quid si pater cuniculos agat ad aerarium?

egisse huc Alpheum vias,

made its way, Verg. A. 3, 695:

vix leni et tranquillo mari moles agi possunt,

carry, build out, Curt. 4, 2, 8:

cloacam maximam sub terram agendam,

to be carried under ground, Liv. 1, 56;

so often in the histt., esp. Caes. and Livy, as t. t., of moving forwards the battering engines: celeriter vineis ad oppidum actis,

pushed forwards, up, Caes. B. G. 2, 12 Herz.; so id. ib. 3, 21; 7, 17; id. B. C. 2, 1; Liv. 8, 16:

accelerant acta pariter testudine Volsci,

Verg. A. 9, 505 al.:

Verg. A. 9, 814:

qui vocem cubantes sensim excitant, eandemque cum egerunt, etc.,

when they have brought it forth, Cic. de Or. 1, 59, 251. —Hence, animam agere, to expel the breath of life, give up the ghost, expire:

agens animam spumat,

Lucr. 3, 493:

anhelans vaga vadit, animam agens,

Cat. 63, 31:

nam et agere animam et efflare dicimus,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 9, 19:

eodem tempore et gestum et animam ageres,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 8:

Est tanti habere animam ut agam?

Sen. Ep. 101, 12; and with a play upon words: semper agis causas et res agis, Attale, semper. Est, non est, quod agas, Attale, semper agis. Si res et causae desunt, agis, Attale, mulas;

Attale, ne quod agas desit, agas animam,

Mart. 1, 80.—

vera gloria radices agit,

Cic. Off. 2, 12, 43:

pluma in cutem radices egerat imas,

Ov. M. 2, 582.

Trop.

Spec., to guide, govern:

Tros Tyriusque mihi nullo discrimine agetur,

Verg. A. 1, 574; cf. Forbig. ad h. 1., who considers it the only instance of this use, and compares a similar use of agô; v. L. and S. s. v. II. 2.—

In gen., to move, impel, excite, urge to a thing, to prompt or induce to:

si quis ad illa deus te agat,

Hor. S. 2, 7, 24:

una plaga ceteros ad certamen egit,

agunt eum praecipitem poenae civium Romanorum,

Cic. Verr. 1, 3:

perpetua naturalis bonitas, quae nullis casibus neque agitur neque minuitur,

Nep. Att. 9, 1 Brem.:

opportunitas, quae etiam mediocres viros spe praedae transvorsos agit,

i. e. leads astray, Sall. J. 6, 3; 14, 20; so Sen. Ep. 8, 3.— To pursue with hostile intent, to persecute, disturb, vex, to attack, assail (for the usu. agitare; mostly poet.):

reginam Alecto stimulis agit undique Bacchi,

Verg. A. 7, 405:

non res et agentia (i. e. agitantia, vexantia) verba Lycamben,

Hor. Ep. 1, 19, 25:

acerba fata Romanos agunt,

id. Epod 7, 17:

diris agam vos,

id. ib. 5, 89:

quam deus ultor agebat,

Ov. M. 14, 750:

futurae mortis agor stimulis,

Luc. 4, 517; cf. Matth. ad Cic. Mur. § 21.—

To drive at something, to pursue a course of action, i. e. to make something an object of action; either in the most general sense, like the Engl. do and the Gr. prattein, for every kind of mental or physical employment; or, in a more restricted sense, to exhibit in external action, to act or perform, to deliver or pronounce, etc., so that after the act is completed nothing remains permanent, e. g. a speech, dance, play, etc. (while facere, to make, poiein, denotes the production of an object which continues to exist after the act is completed; and gerere, the performance of the duties of an office or calling).—On these significations, v. Varr. 6, 6, 62, and 6, 7, 64, and 6, 8, 72.—For the more restricted signif. v. Quint. 2, 18, 1 sq.; cf. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 7, 12; Hab. Syn. 426.

In the most gen. signif., to do, act, labor, in opp. to rest or idleness.

With the gen. objects, aliquid, nihil, plus, etc.:

numquam se plus agere quam nihil cum ageret,

Cic. Rep. 1, 17 (cf. with this, id. Off. 3, 1: numquam se minus otiosum esse quam cum otiosus esset): mihi, qui nihil agit, esse omnino non videtur. id. N. D. 2, 16, 46:

post satietatem nihil (est) agendum,

Cels. 1, 2.—Hence,

Without object:

aliud agendi tempus, aliud quiescendi,

Cic. N. D. 2, 53, 132; Juv. 16, 49:

agendi tempora,

Tac. H. 3, 40:

industria in agendo, celeritas in conficiendo,

Cic. Imp. Pomp. 10, 29.—

In colloquial lang., to do, to fare, get on: quid agis? what are you doing? M. Tulli, quid agis? Cic. Cat. 1, 11:

Quid agis?

What's your business? Plaut. Stich. 2, 2, 9; also, How goes it with you? How are you? ti pratteis, Plaut. Curc. 2, 1, 20; Cic. Fam. 7, 11 al.; Hor. S. 1, 9, 4:

collum obstringe homini,

Plaut. Curc. 5, 3, 29:

nihil agis,

you effect nothing, it is of no use, Ter. Ad. 5, 8, 12:

nihil agis, dolor! quamvis sis molestus, numquam te esse confitebor malum,

Cic. Tusc. 2, 25, 61 Kuhn.; Matius ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 28, 10: cupis, inquit, abire; sed nihil agis;

usque tenebo,

Hor. S. 1, 9, 15:

[nihil agis,] nihil assequeris,

Cic. Cat. 1, 6, 15 B. and K.:

ubi blanditiis agitur nihil,

Ov. M. 6, 685: egerit non multum, has not done much, Curt. ap. Cic. Fam. 7, 29; cf. Ruhnk. ad Rutil. Lup. p. 120.—

In certain circumstances, to proceed, do, act, manage (mostly belonging to familiar style): Thr. Quid nunc agimus? Gn. Quin redimus, What shall we do now? Ter. Eun. 4, 7, 41:

hei mihi! quid faciam? quid agam?

what shall I do? how shall I act? id. Ad. 5, 3, 3:

quid agam, habeo,

id. And. 3, 2, 18 (= quid respondeam habeo, Don.) al.:

sed ita quidam agebat,

was so acting, Cic. Lig. 7, 21: a Burro minaciter actum, Burrus [p. 75] proceeded to threats, Tac. A. 13, 21.—

To pursue, do, perform, transact (the most usual signif. of this word; in all periods; syn.: facere, efficere, transigere, gerere, tractare, curare): cui quod agat institutumst nullo negotio id agit, Enn. ap. Gell. 19, 10, 12 (Trag. v. 254 Vahl.): ut quae egi, ago, axim, verruncent bene, Pac. ap. Non. 505, 23 (Trag. Rel. p. 114 Rib.):

At nihil est, nisi, dum calet, hoc agitur,

Plaut. Poen. 4, 2, 92:

Ut id agam, quod missus huc sum,

id. Ps. 2, 2, 44: homines quae agunt vigilantes, agitantque, ea si cui in somno accidunt, minus mirum est, Att. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 22, 45:

observabo quam rem agat,

what he is going to do, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 114:

Jam tempus agires,

Verg. A. 5, 638:

utilis rebus agendis,

grassator ferro agit rem,

does the business with a dagger, id. 3, 305; 6, 659 (cf.:

gladiis geritur res,

Liv. 9, 41):

nihil ego nunc de istac re ago,

do nothing about that matter, Plaut. Truc. 4, 4, 8:

postquam id actumst,

after this is accomplished, id. Am. 1, 1, 72; so,

agitur populi Romani gloria, agitur salus sociorum atque amicorum, aguntur certissima populi Romani vectigalia et maxima, aguntur bona multorum civium,

Cic. Imp. Pomp. 2, 6:

in quibus eorum aut caput agatur aut fama,

id. Lael. 17, 61; Nep. Att. 15, 2:

non libertas solum agebatur,

Liv. 28, 19; Sen. Clem. 1, 20 al.:

nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet,

Hor. Ep. 1, 18, 84 (= in periculo versatur, Lambin.):

agitur pars tertia mundi,

is at stake, I am in danger of losing, Ov. M. 5, 372.—

Res acta est, the case is over (and done for): acta haec res est;

perii,

this matter is ended, Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 3: hence, actum est de aliquo or aliqua re, it is all over with a person or thing:

actum hodie est de me,

Plaut. Ps. 1, 1, 63:

jam de Servio actum,

Liv. 1, 47:

actum est de collo meo,

Plaut. Trin. 3, 4, 194.—So also absol.: actumst;

ilicet me infelicem,

actumst, ilicet, peristi,

Ter. Eun. 1, 1, 9: periimus;

actumst,

id. Heaut. 3, 3, 3.—

Rem actam agere, to plead a case already finished, i. e. to act to no purpose:

rem actam agis,

Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 27; id. Cist. 4, 2, 36; Liv. 28, 40; so,

Tac. Or. 18; 39.—

Of an actor, to represent, play, act:

Ipse hanc acturust Juppiter comoediam,

Plaut. Am. prol. 88; so,

Ter. Ad. prol. 12; id. Hec. prol. 22:

dum haec agitur fabula,

Plaut. Men. prol. 72 al.:

partis,

to have a part in a play, Ter. Phorm. prol. 27:

Ballionem illum cum agit, agit Chaeream,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 7:

gestum agere in scaena,

id. de Or. 2, 57:

dicitur canticum egisse aliquanto magis vigente motu,

Liv. 7, 2 al. — Transf. to other relations, to represent or personate one, to act the part of, to act as, behave like: has partes lenitatis semper egi, Cic. Mur. 3:

egi illos omnes adulescentes, quos ille actitat,

id. Fam. 2, 9:

amicum imperatoris,

exulem,

id. A. 1, 4:

socium magis imperii quam ministrum,

id. H. 2, 83:

senatorem,

Tac. A. 16, 28.—So of things poetically:

utrinque prora frontem agit,

serves as a bow, Tac. G. 44.—

Se agere = se gerere, to carry one's self, to behave, deport one's self:

tanta mobilitate sese Numidae agunt,

Sall. J. 56, 5:

quanto ferocius ante se egerint,

Tac. H. 3, 2 Halm:

Imper.: age, agite, Ter., Tib., Lucr., Hor., Ov., never using agite, and Catull. never age, with which compare the Gr. age, agete (also accompanied by the particles dum, eia, en, ergo, igitur, jam, modo, nuncjam, porro, quare, quin, sane, vero, verum, and by sis); as an exclamation.

In encouragement, exhortation, come! come on! (old Engl. go to!) up! on! quick! (cf. I. B. fin.).

Stat. Th. 10, 33:

In transitions in discourse, well then! well now! well! (esp. in Cic. Or. very freq.). So in Plaut. for resuming discourse that has been interrupted: age, tu interea huic somnium narra, Curc. 2, 2, 5: nunc age, res quoniam docui non posse creari, etc., well now, since I have taught, etc., Lucr. 1, 266:

Cic. Mil. 19:

age sane,

Plaut. Ps. 5, 2, 27; Cic. Fin. 2, 35, 119.

—Age, used with another verb in the imperative, regularly stands before it, but in poetry, for the sake of the metre, it,

Sometimes follows such verb; as,

In dactylic metre:

Cede agedum,

Prop. 5, 9, 54:

Dic age,

Verg. A. 6, 343; Hor. S. 2, 7, 92; Ov. F. 1, 149:

Vade age,

Verg. A. 3, 462; 4, 422; so,

agite: Ite agite,

Prop. 4, 3, 7.—

In other metres (very rarely):

appropera age,

Plaut. Cas. 2, 2, 38:

dic age,

Hor. C. 1, [p. 77] 32, 3; 2, 11, 22;

3, 4, 1.—So also in prose (very rarely): Mittite agedum,

Liv. 38, 47:

procedat agedum ad pugnam,

id. 7, 9.—

It is often separated from such verb:

age me huc adspice,

Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 118; id. Capt. 5, 2, 1:

Age... instiga,

Ter. And. 4, 2, 10; 5, 6, 11:

Quare agite... conjungite,

Cat. 64, 372:

Huc age... veni,

Hor. C. 3, 27, 62:

utendum est imaginibus agentibus, acribus, insignitis,

Cic. de Or. 2, 87, 358:

actum ejus, qui in re publica cum imperio versatus sit,

Cic. Phil. 1, 7:

acta Caesaris servanda censeo,

id. ib. 1, 7:

acta tui praeclari tribunatus,

id. Dom. 31.—

acta publĭca, or absol.: acta, orum, n., the register of public acts, records, journal. Julius Caesar, in his consulship, ordered that the doings of the Senate (diurna acta) should be made public, Suet. Caes. 20; cf. Ernest. Exc. 1;

but Augustus again prohibited it,

Suet. Aug. 36. Still the acts of the Senate were written down, and, under the succeeding emperors. certain senators were appointed to this office (actis vel commentariis Senatus conficiendis), Tac. A. 5, 4. They had also public registers of the transactions of the assemblies of the people, and of the different courts of justice;

also of births and deaths, marriages, divorces, etc., which were preserved as sources of future history.—Hence, diurna urbis acta,

the city journal, Tac. A. 13, 31:

acta populi,

Suet. Caes. 20:

acta publica,

Tac. A. 12, 24; Suet. Tib. 8; Plin. Ep. 7, 33:
