    1.
    a.. Opp. to that which is concealed, covered, dark, open, clear, plain, evident, manifest, unobstructed:

    nam nihil aegrius est quam res secernere apertas ab dubiis,

    nothing is, indeed, more difficult than to separate things that are evident from those that are doubtful, Lucr. 4, 467; so id. 4, 596; 1, 915; 5, 1062:

    cum illum ex occultis insidiis in apertum latrocinium conjecimus,

    Cic. Cat. 2, 1:

    simultates partim obscurae, partim apertae,

    id. Manil. 24:

    To be clear, evident, well known, notorious, en tôi phanerôi einai:

    ad cognoscendum omnia illustria magis magisque in aperto,

    (β).
    To be easily practicable, easy, facile (the figure taken from an open field or space):

    agere memoratu digna pronum magisque in aperto erat,

    there was a greater inclination and a more open way to, Tac. Agr. 1:

    hostes aggredi in aperto foret,

    id. H. 3, 56:

    vota virtusque in aperto omniaque prona victoribus,

    id. Agr. 33.—
    2.
    Of character, without dissimulation, open, frank, candid:

    Cic. Fam. 1, 9; id. Off. 3, 13, 57:

    pectus,

    id. Lael. 26, 97. —Hence, ironically: ut semper fuit apertissimus, as he has always been very open, frank (for impudent, shameless), Cic. Mur. 35.—Hence, ăpertē, adv., openly, clearly, plainly.

    1. nē (nicht nae), Adv. (νή), ja, nur bei einem Pronomen u. in der mustergültigen Prosa in der Regel mit vorausgegangenem od. nachfolgendem, angedeutetem od. bestimmt ausgesprochenem Konditionalsatze, a) absol.: ne ego homo infelix fui, qui non alas intervelli, Plaut.: ne ego fortunatus homo sum, Ter.: ne ego, inquam, si ita est, velim eum tibi placere quam maxime, Cic.: ne illi multa saecula exspectanda fuerunt! Cic.: ne tu perditas res Campanorum narras, ubi summus honor ad filium meum perveniet, Liv. – b) verb. mit hercle, edepol, ecastor, medius fidius, ja fürwahr, ja bei Gott, ja in der Tat, ne tu hercle cum magno malo (tuo) mi obviam occessisti, Plaut.: ne illam ecastor fenerato mi abstulisti, Plaut.: medius fidius ne tu emisti ludum praeclarum, Cic.: – ⇒ Über die allein richtige Schreibung ne s. Ritschl Plaut. tom. 1. prolegom. p. XCVII. Georges Lexik. der lat. Wortf. S. 447.
    ————————
    2. nē, die urspr. u. eig. latein. Verneinungspartikel, als Adv. = nicht, als Coniunction = daß nicht, damit nicht, und, mit Verkürzung des Vokals, nĕ, als enklitisches Fragewort = etwa nicht? doch nicht? ob etwa nicht? (s. 3. ne).
    I) nē, als Adv., nicht, A) als Verneinung eines Begriffes, der als sinnlich od. geistig wahrgenommen aufgefaßt wird. In dieser Weise findet sich ne nur in der älteren Zeit der Sprache gebraucht, während sonst gew. non zur Verneinung dient, nisi tu ne vis, Plaut.: operae ne parcunt, Plaut.: crescere ne possunt fruges, Lucr. – In der ausgebildeten Sprache hat es sich so erhalten in Zusammensetzungen, wie nefas, nemo (= ne-homo), ne-scio, ne-quaquam, nedum, ne- uter, nullus, numquam, nusquam, necopinus, necubi, negotium u.a.
    B) als Verneinung eines Begriffes, der als vorgestellt und daher nur als möglich aufgefaßt wird, 1) in der Verbindung ne... quidem (ne quidem ohne dazwischengesetztes Wort bei Gaius inst. 1, 67 u. 3, 93), die das Wort oder die Wortverbindung, die verneint werden soll, in die Mitte nimmt, nicht einmal, ne populus quidem, Cic.: ne in oppidis quidem, Cic.: ne cum esset factum quidem, Cic. – Sollen mehrere durch Partikeln verbundene Wortbegriffe verneint werden, so steht ne... quidem nur bei dem ersten, ne
    ————
    Aequi quidem ac Volsci, Liv.: ne a sententiis quidem aut verbis, Quint. – Ebenso wird bei verbundenen Sätzen ne... quidem nur im ersten gesetzt, ita ut ne efferendi quidem signa Romanis spatium nec ad explicandam aciem locus esset, Liv. – Durch ne... quidem wird der ganze Satz verneint, cum mendaci homini ne verum quidem dicenti credere soleamus, Cic. – Doch geht sehr häufig eine Negation voraus, non fugio ne hos quidem mores, Cic.: numquam illum ne minimā quidem re offendi, Cic. – Wenn daher zwei Satzglieder miteinander verbunden werden, von denen das eine den schwächeren Gedanken durch non modo (nicht eben, nicht gerade, nicht nur), das andere den stärkeren durch ne... quidem ausdrückt, so kann bei jenem non als seine eigene Negation gesetzt, aber auch weggelassen u. aus dem mit ne... quidem gebildeten Satze entnommen werden, jedoch nur dann, wenn beide Satzglieder einerlei Prädikat haben, mihi vero quidquid accĭderit ne recusanti quidem, non modo non repugnanti, Cic.: ne sues quidem id velint, non modo ipse, nicht bloß ich nicht, Cic.: duas res non modo agere uno tempore, sed ne cogitando quidem explicare potest, Cic. – Häufig bedeutet ne... quidem a) geschweige, viel weniger, wenn der Satz eine Steigerung enthält, nullum est fatum: ita ne divinatio quidem, Cic. – b) keineswegs, wenn ein anderer Satz mit sed (sondern),
    ————
    etiam (sogar), sed etiam (sondern sogar) entgegengesetzt wird, is utitur consilio ne suorum quidem, sed suo, Cic.: ergo illi ne causa quidem itineris, etiam manendi, Cic.: ne conivente quidem te, sed etiam hilarioribus oculis intuente, Cic. – c) natürlich nicht, gewiß nicht, wenn ein abgeleiteter Gedanke angeschlossen wird, carēre enim sentientis est: nec sensus in mortuo: ne carēre quidem igitur in mortuo est, Cic.: egone ut te interpellem? ne hoc quidem vellem, Cic. – 2) in der Verbindung ne... quoque = ne... quidem, auch nicht einmal, sese, inquit, ne id quoque, quod tum suaderet, facturum esse, Cl. Quadr. ann. 1. fr. 17 (bei Gell. 17, 2, 18): ceterum quando ne ea quoque temptata vis proficeret, consilio grassandum, Liv. 10, 14, 13: u. so auch Gell. 1, 2, 5 u. 20, 1, 15: in Verbindungen, wie ne quis, ne qui, ne quando u.a., iustitiae primum munus est, ut ne cui quis noceat, Cic.: ut ne qua scintilla relinquatur, Cic.: ut ne quando amare inciperemus, Cic.
    C) zur Verneinung eines Begriffes, der als gewollt u. übh. als von einer Willenstätigkeit abhängig aufgefaßt wird: AA) in unabhängigen Sätzen: 1) in Sätzen, die eine Bitte, eine Aufforderung, einen Befehl enthalten, nicht, a) neben dem Imperativ, ne crucia te, Ter.: ne nega, verred' es nicht! Ter.: ne time, Plaut.: ne metue, Sen. rhet.: fratrem ne desere, Verg.: ne gravare, Plin. ep.: ne timete, Liv.: ne repugnate ve-
    ————
    stro bono, Sen.: impius ne audeto placare donis iram deorum, Cic. – b) neben dem Konjunktiv (des Präsens od. Perfekts), ne me moneatis, Plaut.: ne forte pudori sit tibi Musa, Hor.: ne tot annorum felicitatem in unius horae dederis discrimen, Liv. – Häufig wird ein mit ne gebildeter Satz ohne Verbindungspartikel nach einer Einräumung gesetzt, sint sane liberales ex sociorum fortunis, misericordes in furibus aerarii, ne illi sanguinem nostrum largiantur, doch unser Blut sollen sie nicht vergeuden, Sall.: tu vero istam Romae legem rogato: nobis nostras ne ademeris, Cic. – Ebenso steht ein mit ne gebildeter Satz ohne Verbindungspartikel, wenn der in ihm enthaltene Gedanke aus einem anderen abgeleitet wird, nec nunc adulteria obiecturum ait, ne domum reposceret, noch weniger wolle er den Palast zurückverlangen, Tac. ann. 11, 30 (wo Halm nedum). – 2) in Sätzen, die eine Einräumung enthalten, gesetzt, daß nicht, zugegeben, daß nicht, ne sit sane summum malum dolor: malum certe est, Cic.: ne sit igitur sol, ne luna, ne stellae, Cic.: ne aequaveritis Hannibali Philippum, ne Carthaginiensibus Macedonas, Pyrrho certe aequabitis, Liv. – 3) in Sätzen, die einen Wunsch enthalten, nicht, doch nicht, ne id Iuppiter optimus maximus sirit, Liv. – bes. häufig utinam ne (wofür auch utinam non stehen kann), illud utinam ne vere scriberem, Cic. – Dah. wird ne auch bei Beteuerungen ge-
    ————
    setzt, ne vivam, si scio, ich will des Todes sein, Cic.: ne sim salvus, si aliter scribo ac sentio, ich will nicht gesund sein, Cic.
    BB) in abhängigen Sätzen: 1) in Sätzen aller Art neben einem Komparativ, nicht, ja nicht, ut hoc nostrum desiderium ne plus sit annuum, Cic.: muneris ergo in singulos dari ne minus dena milia aeris, Liv.: noluit quid statui nisi columellam tribus cubitis ne altiorem, Cic. – 2) in Sätzen zur Angabe der Absicht, nicht, ja nicht, nur nicht, te ulciscar, ut ne impune nos illuseris, Cic.: quid vis nobis dare, ut isti abs te ne auferantur, Cic. – 3) in Sätzen zur Angabe eines beabsichtigten Erfolges, nicht, ja nicht, nur nicht, iubeatis ut in civitate ne sit, Cic.: illud assequi possunt, ut ne dedeceat, Cic.: te obsecro, ut ne credas, Ter. – Auch da, wo der Erfolg ein rein faktischer zu sein scheint, liegt der Begriff der Absichtlichkeit des handelnden od. denkenden Subjekts zugrunde, tantum a vallo eius prima acies aberat, uti ne in eam telum adigi posset, daß es nicht möglich sein sollte, Caes.: ex quo efficitur, non ut voluptas ne sit, sed ut voluptas non sit summum bonum, nicht daß die Sinnenlust gar nicht vorhanden sein soll, sondern daß sie nicht das höchste Gut ist, Cic. – 4) in relativen Absichtssätzen, die mit quo (qui) od. quomodo gebildet sind, nicht, ja nicht, ego id agam, mihi qui ne detur, Ter.: quo ne per vacuum Romano incurreret ho-
    ————
    stis, Hor.: quaeritis maximis sumptibus faciendis quomodo ne tributa conferatis, Rutil. Lup. – 5) in restringierenden Sätzen in den Verbndgg. dum ne, modo ne, dummodo ne, tantum ne, wenn nur nicht, nur nicht, Komik., Cic. u.a.
    II) nē, als Coniunction, daß nicht, damit nicht, A) in Sätzen zur Angabe der Absicht, daß nicht, damit nicht, gallinae pennis fovent pullos, ne frigore laedantur, Cic.: dolorem saepe perpetiuntur, ne incĭdant in maiorem Cic.: ne vana urbis magnitudo esset, asylum aperit, Liv.: nemo prudens punit, quia peccatum est, sed ne peccetur, Sen. – Häufig bezieht sich ne auf ein die Absicht andeutendes Wort, wie ideo, idcirco, propter hoc u.a., an ideo aliquid scripsit, ne videretur? Cic.: idcirco capite et superciliis semper erat rasis, ne ullum pilum viri boni habere dicatur, Cic. – Zuw. steht ein mit ne gebildeter Satz vor einem anderen, der eine Behauptung od. Erzählung enthält, um die Absicht anzugeben, in der die Mitteilung gemacht wird. Zur Vervollständigung der Gedankenreihe müßte ein Satz wie »so behaupte, erwähne ich, daß« beigefügt sein, der aber im Lat., wie im Deutschen, oft ausgelassen wird, ne tamen ignores, quo sit Romana loco res, Cantaber Agrippae... virtute cecĭdit, Hor.: daher ne multa dicam, ne multa od. multis, kurz, Cic.
    ————
    folges, daß nicht, 1) nach Verben, die eine Willensäußerung bezeichnen, hoc te rogo, ne demittas animum, Cic.: toti exercitui imperavit, ne iniussu concurrerent, Caes.: malo, ne roges, Cic.: Macedonas monebat, ne moverentur, Iustin.: ne quis insepultus esset, rerum natura prospexit, Sen.: ne quam occasionem dimitteret, cogitabat, Caes. – 2) nach Ausdrücken, die eine Aussage enthalten, die eine Willenstätigkeit voraussetzt, quidam ne umquam riderent, consecuti sunt, Sen.: vestra interest, ne imperatorem pessimi faciant, Tac.: aegre retentis militibus est factum, ne proelio contenderetur, Caes.: potestis efficere, ut male moriar: ne moriar, non potestis, Plin. ep.: reliquum est, ne quid stulte, ne quid temere dicam aut faciam, Cic.
    ⇒ Als Eigentümlichkeit ist zu bemerken: 1) daß ne durch »daß« od. den bloßen Infinitiv wiedergegeben wird: a) nach den Verben »sich hüten (cavēre), verhindern (impedire, resistere), verbieten (interdicere, seltener vetare), sich weigern (recusare)«, weil der negative Begriff, der in diesen Verben enthalten ist, auch auf den abhängigen Satz übertragen wird, s. caveo, impedio, resisto usw. – Zuw. steht auch ne, wenn aus dem Verbum des Hauptsatzes der Begriff eines der angegebenen Verben herausgenommen werden kann, Decii corpus ne inveniretur, nox quaerentes oppressit, Liv. – b) nach allen Verben u. Aus-
    ————
    drücken, die den Begriff der Furcht u. Besorgnis haben (wie timere, metuere, vereri, horrere, pavere; terrere, conterrere; timor est, metus est, spes est, periculum est), weil in ihnen der Begriff eines vergeblichen Wunsches enthalten ist, s. timeo, metuo usw. – Wenn der abhängige Satz negativ ist, steht ne non, zB. timeo, ne non impetrem, Cic.: vereor, ne sufficere non possim, Curt.: non vereor, ne non scribendo te expleam, Cic.: non est periculum, ne idem facere non possit, Cic. – 2) daß ne nach den Verben »sehen, zusehen, untersuchen, erwägen« häufig statt durch daß nicht auch durch ob etwa übersetzt werden kann, cum circumspiceret, ne quid praeteriisset, Varro: singuli pulli tentandi, ne quid habeant in gutture, Colum.: videamus, ne beata vita effici possit, Cic.: qui, ne quod telum occultaretur, exquirerent, Cic.: ähnlich per aliquot dies ea consultatio tenuit, ne non reddita (bona Tarquinii) belli causa, reddita belli materia essent, es dauerte die Erwägung, ob die unterlassene Zurückgabe den Krieg veranlasse, Liv. – Dah. auch ne non = ob etwa nicht, credere omnia, vide, ne non sit necesse, Cic.: cogitandum sit, ne tutior non sit, Cic. – 3) daß ne durch geschweige daß wiedergegeben wird, wenn aus einer weitergreifenden Behauptung der Schluß gezogen werden soll, daß eine eingeschränktere nach dem Vorausgegangenen unzulässig erscheine, zB. vix incedo inanis, ne
    ————
    ire posse cum onere existumes, Plaut. Amph. 330: me vero nihil istorum ne iuvenem quidem movit umquam, ne nunc senem (sc. moveret), Cic. ep. 9, 26, 2: u. so Ter. Andr. 706. Cic. Planc. 27 u. Verr. 4, 52. Sall. Cat. 11, 8. Liv. 3, 52, 9. Tac. ann. 11, 30 N.
    ————————
    3. ne, als enklitisches Fragewort, wird dem Worte angehängt, das in der Frage hervorgehoben werden muß, weshalb dieses auch meist zu Anfang des Satzes gestellt wird. Häufig verliert es durch Apokope seinen Vokal, wobei noch die Veränderung eintreten kann, daß ein davorstehendes s ausfällt und, wenn die Silbe lang war, diese dann verkürzt wird, zB. iussĭn, adeŏn, vĭn (vīsne), satĭn (satīsne), vidĕn (vidēsne), iubĕn (iubēsne). Es steht:
    I) in einfachen Fragen, 1) in direkten, a) wenn eine verneinende Antwort erwartet wird, doch nicht, censen posse me affirmare? du glaubst doch nicht? Ter.: quidquamne bonum est, quod non eum, qui id possidet, meliorem facit, Cic. – daher in einer Frage, die mit erregtem Gefühl, mit Verwunderung, mit Unwillen, mit Ironie ausgesprochen wird, Apollinemne tu Delium spoliare ausus es? Cic.: vin tu homines urbemque feris praeponere silvis? Hor. – b) wenn eine bejahende Antwort erwartet wird, nicht, etwa nicht, mitto alios: etiamne nobis expedit? nützt es uns nicht etwa auch? Cic.: numquid est aliud? rectene interpretor sententiam tuam? Cic.: vitae censetisne habendam mihi aliquam esse rationem, Cic.: videtisne ut apud Homerum saepissime Nestor de virtutibus suis praedicet? Cic. – in einer Frage, die mit Verwunderung, Unwillen od. Ironie ausgesprochen wird, vin tu te
    ————
    cohibere, willst du dich nicht fassen? Auct. b. Cic. – c) in besonderen Wendungen, wie egone? doch ich nicht? ich sollte nicht? Cic.: itane? itane vero? demnach doch nicht? demnach doch wahrlich nicht? sollte demnach nicht? sollte demnach wirklich nicht? Cic. – bes. häufig dem relativen Pronomen od. anderen relativen Wörtern angehängt, wo es den im relativen Worte liegenden Begriff nachdrücklich hervorhebt, quine putatis difficile et mirum, quod contigit? ihr glaubt doch nicht, daß es etwas Schwieriges u. Wunderbares sei? Hor.: quiane auxilio iuvat ante levatos? doch nicht, weil die früher Geretteten dessen sich erfreuen? Verg.: quamne in manibus tenui atque accepi cistellam? habe ich nicht etwa jenes Kästchen in den Händen gehabt? Plaut.: quaene ambae obsecraverint? haben sie mich nicht dringend gebeten? Plaut. – daher in Fragen, die eine Verwunderung enthalten, quae dudum fassa est mihi, quaene infitias eat? will sie nicht leugnen, was sie mir schon längst gestanden hat? Plaut.: quantane? wie groß müßte sie nicht sein? Hor. – d) in Verbindung mit dem zum Ausruf gebrauchten ut, wie: victamne ut quisquam victrici patriae praeferret? wie sollte nicht usw., Liv.: nemone ut avarus se probet? Hor. – 2) in indirekten Fragen, ob etwa nicht, wofür wir meist, bei gänzlicher Unentschiedenheit der zu erwartenden Antwort, bloß ob oder ob etwa, ob viel-
    ————
    leicht gebrauchen, ut videamus, satisne ista sit defectio, Cic.: hunc sum rogaturus, navem populo Romano debeantne, Cic.: frumentum ab his sumpseritne, Cic.: haec omnia sciasne esse notata? Cic.
    II) in mehrfachen Fragen, wo wir in der deutschen Übersetzung den Begriff der Negation gänzlich fallen lassen müssen, 1) in direkten Fragen, a) dem ersten Gliede beigegeben, sed isne est, quem quaero, annon? es ist doch wohl der, den ich suche, oder nicht? Ter.: satisne ergo pudori consulat, si quis sine teste libidini pareat, an est aliquid per se ipsum flagitiosum? würde wohl der dem Schamgefühle gemäß handeln, der usw., Cic. – b) dem zweiten Gliede beigegeben in der Verbindung anne, s. an. – 2) in indirekten, a) wiederholt, ob... ob, ob... oder, monstrumne deusne ille sit ignorans, Ov.: quid refert clamne palamne roget, Tibull.: incertus, geniumne loci famulumne parentis esse putet, Verg.: collectosne bibant imbres puteosne perennes iugis aquae (scribere te nobis par est), Hor.: versans (überlegend), Siculisne resideret arvis Italasne capesseret oras, Verg.: neque interesse, ipsosne interficiant impedimentisne exuant, Caes. b. G. 7, 14, 8. – Wenn das erste Glied mit größerer Sicherheit als das zweite ausgesprochen werden soll, bleibt ne im ersten weg, Etrusci diem primum consultando, maturarent traherentne bellum, traduxerunt, in der Überlegung, ob sie den
    ————
    Krieg beschleunigen, ob vielleicht auch verzögern sollten, Liv. – b) dem ersten Gliede beigegeben, intererit multum, divusne loquatur an heros, Hor.: nescio, gratulerne tibi an timeam, Cic. – auch in Verbindung mit utrum, zB. utrum praedicemne an taceam, Ter.: utrum illudne non videatur aegre ferendum, an toleranda aegritudo, Cic.: utrumne divitiis homines an sint virtute beati, Hor. – c) dem zweiten Gliede beigegeben in den Verbindungen anne u. necne, w. s.

    Caes. B. G. 1, 6 fin.; Cic. Att. 2, 11; id. Q. Fr. 3, 1, 3; Liv. 34, 35 al.—

    Cic. Mil. 14, 36:

    Domitium Silano diem dixisse scimus,

    id. Div. in Caec. 20, 67.—
    2.
    A natural day, a day, as opp. to night: ut vel, quia est aliquid, aliud non sit, ut Dies est, nox non est; vel, quia est aliquid, et aliud sit: Sol est super terram, dies est, Quint. 5, 8, 7: pro di immortales, quis hic illuxit dies, Cic. Fragm. ap. Quint. 9, 4, 76:

    credibile non est, quantum scribam die, quin etiam noctibus,

    in the daytime, id. Att. 13, 26:

    negat ullum esse cibum tam gravem, quin is die et nocte concoquatur,

    in a single day and night, id. N. D. 2, 9, 24; cf.

    in this signif.: die ac nocte,

    Plin. 29, 6, 36, § 113:

    nocte et die,

    Liv. 25, 39;

    and simply die,

    Hor. S. 2, 1, 4; Quint. 10, 3, 8; cf.

    also: currus rogat ille paternos, Inque diem alipedum jus et moderamen equorum,

    Ov. M. 2, 48; and, connected with nox:

    (Themistocles) diem noctemque procul ab insula in salo navem tenuit in ancoris,

    Nep. Them. 8 fin.; cf. Cic. Div. 2, 27, 59; Liv. 22, 1 fin. —But more freq.: diem noctemque, like our day and night, i. q. without ceasing, uninterruptedly; Caes. B. G. 7, 77, 11; 7, 42 fin.; id. B. C. 1, 62;

    for which less freq.: diem et noctem,

    continuate nocte ac die itinere,

    Caes. B. C. 3, 11, 1; 3, 36, 8; and in plur.:

    Plaut. Rud. 2, 3, 49; Ter. Eun. 1, 2, 113; Cic. Att. 7, 9 fin.; Nep. Dat. 4, 4 et saep.; also, reversing the order: noctesque diesque, Enn. ap. Cic. de Sen. 1, 1 (Ann. v. 338 ed. Vahl.); Hor. S. 1, 1, 76:

    noctes atque dies,

    Lucr. 2, 12; 3, 62; Cic. Fin. 1, 16, 51; Verg. A. 6, 127 al.:

    noctes diesque,

    id. ib. 9, 488:

    Cic. Arch. 11, 29:

    noctes et dies,

    id. Brut. 90, 308; id. de Or. 1, 61, 260; id. Tusc. 5, 25 and 39; Ter. Eun. 5, 8, 49; cf.

    Caes. B. G. 5, 38:

    Galli dies... sic observant, ut noctem dies subsequatur,

    id. ib. 6, 18, 2 Herz ad loc. So, too, in gen.:

    qui nocte dieque frequentat Limina,

    Mart. 10, 58, 11:

    cum die,

    at break of day, Ov. M. 13, 677:

    orto die ( = orta luce),

    Tac. A. 1, 20; 1, 68; id. H. 2, 21:

    ante diem ( = ante lucem),

    Hor. Ep. 1, 2, 35:

    dies fit, late Lat. for lucescit,

    Vulg. Luc. 22, 66: de die, in open day, broad day; v. de.—

    a.
    I. q. dies natalis, a birthday:

    diem meum scis esse III. Non. Jan. Aderis igitur,

    Cic. Att. 13, 42, 2; cf.

    in full: natali die tuo,

    id. ib. 9, 5 al. So the anniversary day of the foundation of a city is, dies natalis urbis, Cic. Div. 2, 47, 98.—
    b.
    I. q. dies mortis, dying-day:

    quandocumque fatalis et meus dies veniet statuarque tumulo,

    Tac. Or. 13 fin. Called, also: supremus dies. Suet. Aug. 99; id. Tib. 67; cf.:

    supremus vitae dies,

    Cic. de Sen. 21, 78; Suet. Aug. 61. Hence:

    diem suum obire,

    to die, Sulp. in Cic. Fam. 4, 12, 2;

    and in the same sense: obire diem supremum,

    Nep. Milt. 7 fin.; id. Dion. 2 fin.; Suet. Claud. 1:

    exigere diem supremum,

    Tac. A. 3, 16:

    explere supremum diem,

    id. ib. 1, 6; 3, 76;

    and simply: obire diem,

    Plin. 2, 109, 112, § 248; Suet. Tib. 4; id. Vesp. 1; id. Gr. 3; cf.

    also: fungi diem,

    Just. 19, 1, 1.—
    c.
    I. q. dies febris, fever-day: etsi Non. Mart., [p. 574] die tuo, ut opinor, exspectabam epistolam a te longiorem, Cic. Att. 9, 2 init.; 7, 8, 2 al.
    II.
    Transf.
    A.
    In gen. (from no. I. A.).
    1.
    A day, for that which is done in it (cf. the Hebr., the Gr. eleutheron êmar, etc.):

    is dies honestissimus nobis fuerat in senatu,

    Cic. Fam. 1, 2, 3:

    non tam dirus ille dies Sullanus C. Mario,

    id. Att. 10, 8, 7:

    equites Romanos daturos illius diei poenas,

    id. Sest. 12, 28:

    hic dies et Romanis refecit animos et Persea perculit,

    Liv. 42, 67 Drak.; cf. id. 9, 39 fin.; Vell. 2, 35 Ruhnk.; 2, 86; Just. 9, 3 fin.; Flor. 2, 6, 58 Duker.:

    imponite quinquaginta annis magnum diem,

    Tac. Agr. 34:

    quid pulchrius hac consuetudine excutiendi totum diem?... totum diem mecum scrutor, facta ac dicta mea remetior, etc., Sen. de Ira, 3, 36: dies Alliensis, i. q. pugna Alliensis,

    Liv. 6, 1; Suet. Vit. 11:

    Cannensis,

    Flor. 4, 12, 35 al. And so even of one's state of mind on any particular day:

    qualem diem Tiberius induisset,

    what humor, temper, Tac. A. 6, 20. —
    2.
    A day's journey:

    hanc regionem, dierum plus triginta in longitudinem, decem inter duo maria in latitudinem patentem,

    Liv. 38, 59; Just. 36, 2, 14 al.—
    3.
    In gen. (like, hêmera, and our day, for) time, space of time, period:

    diem tempusque forsitan ipsum leniturum iras,

    Liv. 2, 45;

    so with tempus,

    id. 22, 39; 42, 50: amorem intercapedine ipse lenivit dies, Turp. ap. Non. 522, 7;

    so in the masc. gender: longus,

    Stat. Th. 1, 638; Luc. 3, 139;

    but also longa,

    Plaut. Epid. 4, 1, 18; Plin. Ep. 8, 5 fin.; cf.

    perexigua,

    a brief respite, Cic. Verr. 1, 2 fin.:

    nulla,

    Ov. M. 4, 372 al.:

    multis mensibus non cernitur dies,

    Plin. 33, 4, 21, § 70; Plin. Ep. 6, 20, 6; 9, 36, 2 al.; also of the eyesight, Stat. Th. 1, 237;

Diligo (incl. dilectus) occurs 422 times, and dilectio and caritas 144 times in all; dilectio 43 and caritas 101 times).

    Nam si supremus ille dies non exstinctionem, sed commutationem adfert loci, quid optabilius? Sin autem etc.,

    Cic. Tusc. 1, 49, 117; 1, 49, 118 al.—In adducing an example of a rule:

    Et Demosthenes autem ad Aeschinem orationem in prooemio convertit, et M. Tullius etc.,

    Quint. 4, 1, 66 Spald.;

    also in passing from a particular to a general thought: Et sane plus habemus quam capimus. Insatiabilis autem avaritia est etc.,

    Curt. 8, 8, 12.—
    b.
    Preceded by quidem, as in Gr. men—se (perh. most freq. in Cicero's philosophical works, under the influence of Greek style): Et haec quidem hoc modo;

    nihil autem melius extremo,

    Cic. Tusc. 1, 41, 99:

    Sed nunc quidem valetudini tribuamus aliquid, cras autem etc.,

    id. ib. 1, 49, 119; id. Off. 1, 7, 24; and thus in Tac. several times, but only in Ann. and Or.: bene intellegit ceteros quidem iis niti... Marcellum autem et Crispum attulisse etc., Or. 8; 18 bis; 25; A. 3, 53; 3, 73;

    4, 28.—So often in transitions from one subject to another: Ac de inferendā quidem injuriā satis dictum est. Praetermittendae autem defensionis etc.,

    Cic. Off. 1, 8, 27 sq.; 1, 13, 41; 1, 45, 160.—So very often in Vulg. in direct reproduction of men—se: Ego quidem baptizo vos in aquā in paenitentiam; qui autem post me etc., Matt. 3, 11; 9, 37; 13, 23; 13, 32; 17, 11 sq.; 23, 28; 25, 33; 26, 24. —
    B.
    Esp.
    1.
    In any kind of transition:

    M. Antonius in eo libro, quem unum reliquit, disertos ait se vidisse multos, eloquentem omnino neminem. Vir autem acerrimo ingenio (sic enim fuit) multa etc.,

    Cic. Or. 5, 18:

    hic (pater) prout ipse amabat litteras, omnibus doctrinis, quibus puerilis aetas impertiri debet, filium erudivit: erat autem in puero summa suavitas oris,

    Nep. Att. 1, 2;

    also in questions: Quid autem magno opere Oppianicum metuebat, etc.,

    Cic. Clu. 60, 167. Freq. several times repeated:

    Expetuntur autem divitiae cum ad usus vitae necessarios, tum ad perfruendas voluptates: in quibus autem major est animus, in iis pecuniae cupiditas spectat ad opes, etc.,

    Cic. Off. 1, 8, 24 and 25; cf. Wopkens, Lectt. Tull. pp. 53 and 122: Orbis situm dicere adgredior... Dicam autem alias plura et exactius, Mel. prooem. 2.—
    2.
    In repeating a word from a previous clause, in continuing a train of thought:

    admoneri me satis est: admonebit autem nemo alius nisi rei publicae tempus,

    Cic. Pis. 38, 94: disces quam diu voles;

    tam diu autem velle debebis, quoad etc.,

    id. Off. 1, 1, 2:

    nunc quod agitur, agamus: agitur autem, liberine vivamus an mortem obeamus,

    id. Phil. 11, 10, 24. —So esp. in impassioned discourse, Plant. Mil. 3, 1, 84:

    humanum amare est, humanum autem ignoscere est,

    id. Merc. 2, 2, 48; id. Ps. 4, 8, 1:

    quot potiones mulsi! quot autem prandia!

    id. Stich. 1, 3, 68; id. Ep. 5, 2, 6:

    quā pulchritudine urbem, quibus autem opibus praeditam, servitute oppressam tenuit civitatem,

    Cic. Tusc. 5, 20, 57.—
    3.
    Like sed, vero, igitur, etc., in resuming a train of thought interrupted by a parenthesis:

    Omnino illud honestum, quod ex animo excelso magnificoque quaerimus, animi efficitur non corporis viribus: exercendum tamen corpus et ita adficiendum est, ut oboedire consilio rationique possit in exsequendis negotiis et in labore tolerando: honestum autem id, quod exquirimus, totum est positum in animi curā, etc.,

    Cic. Off. 1, 23, 79; 1, 43, 153.—
    4.
    In introducing a parenthetical clause itself: quae autem nos ut recta aut recte facta dicamus, si placet (illi autem appellant katorthômata) omnes numeros virtutis continent, Cic. Fin. 3, 7, 24:

    quod vitium effugere qui volet (omnes autem velle debent) adhibebit etc.,

    id. Off. 1, 6, 18; 1, 33, 120; id. Tusc. 1, 33, 80; 1, 36, 88:

    In primis foedera ac leges (erant autem eae duodecim tabuiae et quaedam regiae leges) conquiri etc.,

    Liv. 6, 1, 10; Curt. 4, 6, 2:

    ex hoc Quodcumque est (minus est autem quam rhetoris aera) Discipuli custos praemordet,

    Juv. 7, 217.—
    5.
    In enumerations, for the purpose of adding an important circumstance:

    magnus dicendi labor, magna res, magna dignitas, summa autem gratia,

    but, and indeed, Cic. Mur. 13, 29:

    animis omnes tenduntur insidiae... vel ab eā, quae penitus in omni sensu implicata insidet, imitatrix boni, voluptas, malorum autem mater omnium,

    yea, the parent of all evil, id. Leg. 1, 17, 47; id. N. D. 2, 22, 58:

    docet ratio mathematicorum, luna quantum absit a proxumā Mercurii stellā, multo autem longius a Veneris,

    id. Div. 2, 43, 91.—
    6.
    In the syllogism, to introduce the minor proposition (the assumptio or propositio minor; cf. atque, IV. 9., and atqui, II. D.), now, but; but now:

    Aut hoc, aut illud: hoc autem non, igitur illud. Itemque: aut hoc, aut illud: non autem hoc: illud igitur,

    Cic. Top. 14, 56:

    Si lucet, lucet: lucet autem, lucet igitur,

    id. Ac. 2, 30, 96:

    Si dicis te mentiri verumque dicis, mentiris: dicis autem te mentiri verumque dicis: mentiris igitur,

    id. ib.; id. Top. 2, 9; id. Tusc. 5, 16, 47.—
    7.
    Like the Gr. se or sê in adding an emphatic question (freq. in the comic poets), but, indeed.
    a.
    In gen.:

    Quem te autem deum nominem?

    Plaut. As. 3, 3, 126:

    Perii: quid hoc autemst mali?

    Ter. Eun. 5, 7, 5:

    Quī istuc? Quae res te sollicitat autem?

    id. Heaut. 2, 3, 10:

    Quae autem divina? Vigere, sapere, invenire, meminisse,

    Cic. Tusc. 1, 26, 65: Quo modo autem moveri animus ad appetendum potest, si id, quod videtur, non percipitur? pôs sê, id. Ac. 2, 8, 25:

    Quo modo autem tibi placebit JOVEM LAPIDEM jurare, cum scias etc.,

    id. Fam. 7, 12, 2:

    Veni ad Caesarem: quis est autem Caesar?

    Flor. 3, 10, 11.—So in exclamations:

    Quantā delectatione autem adficerer, cum etc.,

    Cic. Tusc. 1, 41, 98.—
    b.
    In questions implying rebuke, reproach: Ba. Metuo credere. Ps. Credere autem? eho, etc., Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 70: Th. Ego non tangam meam? Ch. Tuam autem, furcifer? yours do you say? yours indeed! Ter. Eun. 4, 7, 28.—
    c.
    In a question where a correction is made: Num quis testis Postumum appellavit? testis autem? ( witness did I say?) num accusator? Cic. Rab. Post. 5, 10:

    Alio me vocat numerosa gloria tua: alio autem? quasi vero etc.,

    Plin. Pan. 28:

    Quid tandem isti mali in tam tenerā insulā non fecissent? non fecissent autem? imo quid ante adventum meum non fecerunt?

    Cic. Att. 6, 2; 5, 13; 7, 1: Adimas etiam Hispanias? Et si inde cessero, in Africam transcendes. Transcendes autem dico? Liv. 21, 44, 7 Weissenb.—
    8.
    And in questions sed autem are sometimes both used, especially by the comic poets, but indeed, but now, like the Gr. alla—se Alla pou se boulei kathezomenoi anagnômen; Plat. Phaedr. 228 E.):

    Sed autem quid si hanc hinc apstulerit quispiam Sacram urnam Veneris?

    Plaut. Rud. 2, 5, 15;

    and separated: Sed quid haec hic autem tam diu ante aedīs stetit?

    id. Truc. 2, 3, 14:

    Attat Phaedriae Pater venit. Sed quid pertimui autem, belua?

    Ter. Phorm. 4, 2, 11: Sed quid ego haec autem nequiquam ingrata revolvo? * Verg. A. 2, 101.—Once ast autem: ast autem tenui [p. 212] quae candent lumine Phatnae, Cic. Fragm. ap. Prisc. p. 1170 P. (IV. 2, p. 555 Orell.).—
    9.
    With interjections:

    Heia autem inimicos!

    Plaut. Am. 3, 2, 20:

    Ecce autem litigium,

    but lo! id. Men. 5, 2, 34; so id. Curc. 1, 2, 41; id. Most. 2, 1, 35; id. Mil. 2, 2, 48; id. Most. 3, 1, 131; 3, 1, 146:

    Ecce autem alterum,

    Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 6 Ruhnk.:

    Ecce autem subitum divortium,

    Cic. Clu. 5, 14; so id. Verr. 2, 5, 34; id. Leg. 1, 2, 5; id. Rep. 1, 35, 55; id. Or. 9, 30:

    Ecce autem aliud minus dubium,

    Liv. 7, 35, 10:

    Eccere autem capite nutat,

    Plaut. Mil. 2, 2, 52; so id. Pers. 2, 4, 29:

    eccui autem non proditur [revertenti]?

    Cic. Mur. 33, 68.
    ► In good prose writers autem is usu.
    placed after the first word of a clause; but if several words, a subst. and prep., the verb esse with the predicate, a word with a negative, etc., together form one idea, then autem stands after the second or third word. But the poets, especially the comic poets, allow themselves greater liberty, and sometimes place this particle, without any necessity in the nature of the clause, in the third, fourth, or fifth place; but autem is never found in good writers at the beginning of a clause or sentence; cf. Quint. 1, 5, 39. See more upon this word in Hand, Turs. I. pp. 558-588.

    certō, with certainty, certainly, surely, of a truth, in fact, really, object. and subject. (cf. supra, II. A. and B.); only in the comic poets, and sometimes (most. freq. in his epistt.) in Cic., while the adverbial form certe belongs to all periods and all species of composition.
