    In gen. (freq. and good prose).
    (α).
    Absol.:

    nec tibi sollicitudinem ex dubitatione mea, nec spem ex affirmatione, afferre volui,

    Cic. Fam. 9, 17 fin.:

    cum res non conjecturā, sed oculis ac manibus teneretur, neque in causa ulla dubitatio posset esse,

    id. Cluent. 7, 20:

    in ea obscuritate ac dubitatione omnium,

    id. ib. 27:

    quod quamquam dubitationem non habet, tamen rationes afferendas puto, etc.,

    id. Fin. 5, 10; cf. id. Agr. 1, 4, 11; Quint. 4, 3, 6:

    eo sibi minus dubitationis dari, quod, etc.,

    ad tollendam dubitationem sola non sufficiunt,

    Quint. 5, 9, 8; cf. id. 5, 13, 51; Cic. Att. 12, 6 fin. al. So in Cicero a few times: sine ulla dubitatione, without any doubt, i. e. per litoten, most certainly (an emphatic sine dubio, v. dubius, I. B. 2. b. e), Cic. Tusc. 3, 3, 5; id. Balb. 13, 31; id. Verr. 2, 4, 18, § 39; id. Cat. 4, 3, 5;

    so too, sine dubitatione,

    (ζ).
    With a subject acc. and inf.:

    hoc a rustico factum extra dubitationem est,

    Quint. 7, 1, 48.—
    2.
    Esp., as a fig. of speech, i. q. Gr. diaporêsis, i. e. hesitation, embarrassment of the speaker, because unable to do justice to the greatness of his theme (e. g. Cic. Rosc. Am. 11; id. de Or. 3, 56, § 214), Auct. Her. 4, 29, 40; cf. Ernest. Lex. Technol. Lat. p. 136.—

    Meton. (dubito, I. B.), a doubt, question, considering:

    indigna dubitatio homine!

    Cic. Lael. 19, 67; so,

    ad rem publicam adeundi,

    id. Rep. 1, 7, 12.—
    II.
    A wavering, hesitating in coming to a conclusion; hesitancy, irresolution, delay:

    aestuabat dubitatione, versabat se in utramque partem non solum mente, verum etiam corpore,

    Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 30; cf.:

    qui timor! quae dubitatio! quanta haesitatio tractusque verborum!

    id. de Or. 2, 50:

    inter dubitationem et moras senati,

    Sall. J. 30, 3; cf. id. ib. 62, 9:

    aluit dubitatione bellum,

    Tac. A. 3, 41 fin. et saep.:

    (Caesar) nulla interposita dubitatione legiones ex castris educit,

    without any hesitation, promptly, Caes. B. G. 7, 40, 1;

    in this signif. very freq. in Cicero: sine ulla dubitatione,

    Cic. Cluent. 28, 75; id. Verr. 2, 3, 12; id. Pis. 3; 21 fin.; id. N. D. 1, 1; id. de Or. 2, 28, 122; id. Fam. 1, 5, b. 2. et saep.; cf.:

    absque ulla dubitatione,

    Vulg. Ruth, 3, 13;

    less freq. merely sine dubitatione,

    without hesitation, unhesitatingly, Cic. Agr. 2, 9, 23; id. N. D. 3, 34, 84; id. Ac. 2, 29, 94; id. Top. 15 fin.; id. Att. 11, 16, 3; so Cic. Fil. Fam. 16, 21; Auct. B. Alex. 63, 2; Vulg. Act. 10, 29.
