auspĭcĭum, ii, n. [auspex], divination by observing the flight of birds, augury from birds, auspices (cf. augurium).

A.. Lit.:

auspicia avium,

Plin. 7, 56, 57, § 203 (as if overlooking the origin of auspicium): praetor auspicat auspicium prosperum, Naev. ap. Non. p. 468, 28: Dant (Romulus et Remus) operam simul auspicio augurioque etc., Enn. ap. Cic. Div. 1, 48, 107 (Ann. v. 81 sq. Vahl.:

Liv. 10, 40, 2:

ab auspicio bono proficisci, of marriage,

Cat. 45, 19 Ellis (cf. auspex, II. A. 2.) et saep.; cf.

the class. passages,

Cic. Div. 1, 47 sq.; 2, 34 sq.; Liv. 6, 41, 4 sq.—So auspicium habere, to have the right of taking auspices (which, in the performance of civil duties, was possessed by all magistrates, but, in time of war, only by the commander - in - chief):

omnes magistratus auspicium judiciumque habento,

Cic. Leg. 3, 3, 10:

quod nemo plebeius auspicia haberet,

Liv. 4, 6, 2.—Of the commander - in - chief:

expugnatum oppidumst Imperio atque auspicio mei eri Amphitruonis,

Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 37:

Ut gesserit rem publicam ductu, imperio, auspicio suo,

id. ib. 1, 1, 41;

2, 2, 25: qui ductu auspicioque ejus res prospere gesserant,

Liv. 5, 46, 6; 8, 31, 1; 10, 7, 7; 41, 28, 1 al.;

21, 40, 3: recepta signa ductu Germanici, auspiciis Tiberii,

alia ductu meo, alia imperio auspicioque perdomui,

Curt. 6, 3, 2:

domuit partim ductu partim auspiciis suis Cantabriam, etc.,

Suet. Aug. 21 Ruhnk.—And so absol.:

vates rege vatis habenas, Auspicio felix totus ut annus eat (sc. tuo),

Ov. F. 1, 26 Merk.—Hence for the chief command, guidance:

tuis auspiciis totum confecta duella per orbem,

Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 254 Schmid:

Illius auspiciis obsessae moenia pacem Victa petent Mutinae,

Ov. M. 15, 822.—And, in gen., right, power, inclination, will:

Me si fata meis paterentur ducere vitam Auspiciis et sponte meā componere curas, etc.,

Verg. A. 4, 341:

Communem hunc ergo populum paribusque regamus Auspiciis,

id. ib. 4, 103 (aequali potestate, Serv.).—

Transf., in gen., a sign, omen, a divine premonition or token:

Liquido exeo auspicio foras, Avi sinistrā,

Plaut. Ep. 2, 2, 2; so id. Ps. 2, 4, 72:

Plaut. Men. 5, 9, 88:

vanum,

Prop. 1, 3, 28:

infaustum,

Verg. A. 11, 347:

felix,

Just. 1, 10 al. —So, auspicium facere, of things which give signs, tokens, omens:

augurium haec (mustela) facit,

Plaut. Stich. 3, 2, 10:

cur aliis a laevā, aliis a dexterā datum est avibus, ut ratum auspicium facere possint?

Cic. Div. 2, 38, 80:

circa summum culmen hominis auspicium fecisse,

Liv. 1, 34, 9.— Poet.: cui (diviti) si vitiosa libido Fecerit auspicium, gave him a token (viz. for changing), urged him to a new decision, Hor, Ep. 1, 1, 86.—

Trop., = initium, a beginning (cf. auspicor, II., and auspex, II. B.):

auspicia belli a parricidio incipientes,

Just. 26, 2, 2:

auspicia regni a parricidio coepit,

id. 27, 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].

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):
