• A nude pact an invalid agreement a contract with illusory benefits or without consideration hence unenforceable

aestĭmātĭo, ōnis, f. [id.].

The estimating a thing according to its extrinsic (money) value, valuation, appraisement:

in censu habendo potestas omnis aestimationis habendae censori permittitur,

Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 53: aestimatio frumenti, the determination of the prœtor ( legate or quœstor), how much ready money one should pay, instead of the corn which he was to furnish, id. ib. 2, 3, 92:

erat Athenis reo damnato, si fraus non capitalis esset, quasi poenae aestimatio,

i. e. a commutation of corporal punishment for a fine, id. de Or. 1, 54, 232.—So esp. litis or litium aestimatio, in Roman civil law, an estimating, valuation of the contested matter; in criminal law also, the stating how much the convicted person had to pay, an assessment of damages, Cic. Clu. 41, 116; id. Verr. 2, 2, 18, § 45 (cf. lis aestimata, id. ib. 1, 13):

lex de multarum aestimatione,

Liv. 4, 30.— After the civil war, Cæsar, in order to enable debtors to cancel the demands against them, decreed an aestimatio possessionum, i. e. an estimation or appraisement of real estate, according to the value which it had before the war, and compelled the creditors to take this in payment instead of money; they were also obliged to deduct from the sum demanded any interest that had been paid; v. Caes. B. C. 3, 1; and Suet. Caes. 42. Hence, in aestimationem accipere, to accept or agree to such a valuation, or payment by real estate at a high price:

a Marco Laberio C. Albinius praedia in aestimationem accepit,

Cic. Fam. 13, 8.—And meton., with an allusion to the law of Cæsar: aestimationes [p. 62] = praedia, the real estate received in payment:

quando aestimationes tuas vendere non potes,

Cic. Fam. 9, 18. Since the creditor was a loser by this regulation, aestimationem accipere, to suffer injury or loss, id. ib. 16.—

Trop.

A valuation, i. e. an estimation of a thing according to its intrinsic worth (while existimatio denotes the consideration, regard due to an object on account of its nominal value):

bonum hoc est quidem plurimi aestimandum, sed ea aestimatio genere valet, non magnitudine,

Cic. Fin. 3, 10, 34; so 3, 13, 44;

3, 6: semper aestimationem arbitriumque ejus honoris penes senatum fuisse,

Liv. 3, 63:

semper infra aliorum aestimationes se metiens,

Vell. 1, 127; 97; Plin. 3, 5, 9, § 67:

aestimatione rectā severus, deterius interpretantibus tristior habebatur,

Tac. H. 1, 14 al. —

Poet., the worth or value of a thing:

Quod me non movet aestimatione,

Cat. 12, 12.

contemplātĭo, ōnis, f. [id.], an attentive considering, a viewing, surveying, contemplation (in good prose).

Physical.

In gen.:

caeli,

Cic. Div. 1, 42, 93:

injecit contemplationem super umeros,

In partic., an aiming with a weapon, a taking aim:

sagittis praecipuā contemplatione utantur,

Plin. 6, 30, 35, § 194; cf. contemplabilis.—

Mental.

In gen., a contemplation, survey:

Act., to weigh, weigh out.

Lit. (very rare: syn. penso, expendo): unumquodque verbum staterā aurariā pendere, Varr. ap. Non. 455, 21: da pensam lanam, Titin. ap. Non. 369, 21; Plin. 19, 3, 15, § 39, read repensum: aere gravi cum uterentur Romani, penso eo, non numerato debitum solvebant, Fest. s. v. pendere, p. 208 Müll.:

Fest. p. 268 Müll.:

Syrus mihi tergo poenas pendet,

Ter. Heaut. 4, 4, 6:

Val. Fl. 4, 477.—Rarely in this signif. absol., to suffer any thing ( poet.):

Val. Fl. 1, 445.—

Trop.

To weigh mentally, to ponder, consider, deliberate upon, decide (class.;

syn.: pensito, trutinor): vos eam (rem) suo, non nominis pondere penditote,

Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 1, § 1:

in philosophiā res spectatur, non verba penduntur,

id. Or. 16, 51:

causam ex veritate,

id. Quint. 1, 5:

(Acc. to A. 2.) To pay, render ( poet.):

dignas pendere grates,

Stat. Th. 11, 223.—

Neutr., to weigh ( poet. and in post-Aug. prose):

tantundem pendere par est,

talentum ne minus pondo octoginta Romanis ponderibus pendat,

Liv. 38, 38, 13; Plin. 9, 15, 17, § 44; id. 30, 48 fin., § 93; id. 18, 7, 12, § 66; id. 31, 6, 31, § 58 (in Sen. Ep. 66, 30, read pendent).—Hence, pensus, a, um, P. a., lit. weighed; hence, trop., esteemed, valued, prized, dear (as P. a. not in Cic. or Cæs.):

utra condicio pensior, Virginemne an viduam habere?

Plaut. Stich. 1, 2, 61: ut nihil quicquam esset carius pensiusque nobis quam nosmetipsi, Taurus ap. Gell. 12, 5, 7.—Esp., as subst.: pensum, i, n., something weighed.

Weight, consideration, scruple, importance, only in gen. sing.: nihil pensi habere aliquid, to lay no weight or stress upon a thing, to attach no value to, be indifferent to, care nothing about:

sua parvi pendere, aliena cupere,... nihil pensi neque moderati habere,

Sall. C. 12, 2:

nihil pensi neque sancti habere,

ut neque fas neque fidem pensi haberet,

Tac. A. 13, 15: aliquid ratum pensumque habere, Att. Capitol. ap. Gell. 13, 12, 2. —So, non pensi ducere (very rare), Val. Max. 2, 9, 3.—Also, non adest or est alicui pensi: nec mihi adest tantillum pensi jam, quos capiam calceos, I don't care in the least, am perfectly indifferent, Plaut. Truc. 4, 2, 52:

sed illis nec quid dicerent, nec quid facerent, quicquam umquam pensi fuisse,

they never cared at all, Liv. 34, 49:

quibus si quicquam pensi umquam fuisset, non ea consilia de republicā habuissent,

if they had ever had regard for any considerations, Sall. C. 52, 34. —

Prop., the wool weighed out to a slave to spin in a day; hence, a day's work in spinning, and, in gen., spinning, a spinner's task.
