Plaut. Truc. 4, 3, 76: at nihil est, ignotum ad illum mittere: operam luseris. id. Capt. 2, 2, 94; Hor. S. 2, 3, 6.—In a question:

Rarely like the Greek ean, to give up, cease, leave a thing undone: Al. Vin vocem? Cl. Sine:

ut in stadio cursores exclamant,

id. Tusc. 2, 23, 56; cf. Suet. Dom. 5; Eutr. 7, 15.—

Trop., a contest, = contentio (perh. only in the foll. passages):

in stadium artis rhetoricae prodire,

Auct. Her. 4, 3, 4:

in stadio laudis versari,

Rutil. Lup. 2, p. 77 (p. 139 Frotscher; but in Cic. Brut. 64, 230, the correct read. is in studio laudis).
