In eccl. Lat., esp. the God of the Hebrews and Christians, God:

sissent,

Cic. Sest. 19, 44; Liv. 3, 18; 35, 5, 11), v. a. [etym. dub.], orig., to let, put, lay, or set down; found so only in the P. a. situs (v. infra, P. a.), and in the compound pono (for posino, v. pono); cf. also 2. situs, I.—Hence, transf., and freq. in all styles and periods.

In gen., to let, suffer, allow, permit, give leave (syn.: permitto, patior, tolero, fero); constr. usually with an obj.-clause, the subj., or absol., rarely with ut or an acc.

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

nolo, si occupata est,

Plaut. Cas. 3, 2, 14: tum certare odiis, tum res rapuisse licebit. Nunc sinite (sc. certare, etc.), forbear, Verg A. 10, 15.—
