to+set

to arrange, decide, appoint, settle, found, set up.

to set up, place, establish, post, station.

to fix, station, place, cause to stand, set

accendo, ōnis, m. [2. accendo], an inciter, instigator; read by Salmasius in Tert. de Pall. 6, where the old reading cerdo is to be preferred.

ac-cendo, ndi, nsum, 3, v. a. [cf. candeo], prop. to kindle any thing above, so that it may burn downwards (on the contr., succendere, to kindle underneath, so that it may burn upwards; and incendere, to set fire to on every side) (class., esp. in the trop. signif., very freq.).

Lit., to set on fire, to kindle, light: ut Pergama accensa est, Liv. Andr. ap. Non. 512, 31 (Rib. Trag. Rel. p. 1):

faces accensae,

Cic. Pis. 5: lumen de suo lumine, to kindle, Enn. ap. Cic. Off. 1, 16, 51 (Trag. v. 388 ed. Vahl.); cf.:

ita res accendent lumina rebus,

Lucr. 1 fin.; and:

Deus solem quasi lumen accendit,

Cic. Univ. 9, 28; so,

ignem,

Verg. A. 5, 4 al.

Meton., to light up, to illuminate:

luna radiis solis accensa,

Cic. Rep. 6, 17 (cf. id. N. D. 1, 31, 87);

so of the lustre of gold: et gemmis galeam clypeumque accenderat auro,

Sil. 15, 681 (but in Cic. Arch. 6, 14, the correct read. is accederet, v. Halm a. h. l.).

Fig., to inflame a person or thing (by any thing), to set on fire, to kindle, to incite, rouse up; aliquem or aliquid aliqua re: placare hostem ferocem inimiciterque accensum, Att. ap. Non. 514, 22:

quos meritā accendit Mezentius irā,

Verg. A. 8, 50:

nunc prece nunc dictis virtutem accendit amaris,

id. ib. 10, 368 (7, 482, bello animos accendit, is more properly dat.). That to which one is excited is denoted by ad:

ad dominationem accensi sunt,

Sall. Jug. 31, 16; the person against whom one is excited, by in or contra:

in maritum accendebat,

Tac. A. 1, 53:

quae res Marium contra Metellum vehementer accenderat,

Sall. J. 64, 4; with quare c. subj.:

accendis quare cupiam magis illi proximus esse,

Hor. S. 1, 9, 53. The historians use this word very often, esp. with abstract substt.:

certamen,

Liv. 35, 10:

discordiam,

id. 2, 29:

spem,

Tac. Ann. 12, 34 (cf. Verg. A. 5, 183):

dolorem,

id. ib. 15, 1 al. In Cic. de Or. 1, 25, 114, praeclare enim se res habeat, si haec accendi aut commoveri arte possint, accendi is obviously the first enkindling, rousing, of talent (syn. with commoveri); cf. id. de Or. 2, 47; id. Phil. 3, 7. And so perhaps Sen. Ben. 7, 9: crystallina... quorum accendit fragilitas pretium, signifies vessels of crystal, whose fragility gives them value (in the eyes of luxurious men).

ap-pōno ( adp-, Ritschl, Fleck., Lachm., Baiter, Halm; app-, Merk., Kayser, K. and H., Weissenb.), pōsŭi, pŏsĭtum, 3, v. a. ( perf. apposivi, Plaut. Mil. 3, 3, 31; App. ap. Prisc. p. 898 P.; cf. pono), to place, put, or lay at, near or by the side of a thing; to apply to, add, unite, etc. (class. in prose and poetry; syn.: addo, adicio, adjungo).
