    Ille, qui jejunus a quibusdam et aridus habetur, non aliter ab ipsis inimicis male audire quam nimiis floribus et ingenii afluentia potuit,

    Quint. 12, 10, 13 al. —In a play upon words: erat surdaster M. Crassus;

    sed aliud molestius quod male audiebat,

    Cic. Tusc. 5, 40, 116; so,

    minus commode: quod illorum culpā se minus commode audire arbitrarentur,

    id. Verr. 2, 3, 58.—
    E.
    As it were to hear, to hear mentally, i. e. to understand, to supply, something (later subaudio): cum subtractum verbum aliquod satis ex ceteris intellegitur, ut, stupere gaudio Graecus. Simul enim auditur coepit, is understood, is to be supplied, Quint. 9, 3, 58; 8, 5, 12.—Hence, audĭens, entis, P. a. subst.

    cum adsensu audientium egit,

    Liv. 21, 10 al. —Hence, in eccl. Lat., a catechumen, Tert. Poen. 6.—

  • 19 SCIRE

    to know, to understand, to perceive - знать, мыслить, постигать; говорят, что вещь познана, когда ее причины установлены; и вещь не познана до тех пор, пока не появляется уверенность, что невозможно наличие другой вещи, нежели та, которая есть, если последние не установлены. Знание зависит от доказательства; по Фоме (In lib. An. Post. lect. 4): "Знать означает ничто иное как постигать истину посредством доказательств".
