Introduction Author's Preface Handbook of Synonymes Index of Greek Words Publisher's Advertising INTRODUCTION TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. Dr. Ludwig Döderlein, the author of this work, was born in 1791, and became Professor in the University of Erlangen. He is an eminent philologist, and the author of several valuable philological works. The most important of these are: "The Formation of Latin Words;" "A Homeric Glossary;" "Handbook of Latin Etymology;" "Latin Synonymes and Etymologies," in six volumes; on this he labored more than twelve years, the first volume appearing in 1826, the last in 1828. From this latter work, the volume here presented was prepared by the author, and first published in 1840. After a familiarity of several years with most of the best manuals on Latin Synonymes, we find this superior to any of them, and better adapted to the wants of the student. It shows an intimate and comprehensive acquaintance with the language, and a nice discrimination between the significations of words having a greater or less similarity of meaning. The distinctions are generally well founded, and clearly stated. While at times the distinction may seem to be too refined and subtle, careful observation and more extended study will usually correct such an impression. The difference between related words may proceed from a variety of sources. It may be that of genus and species; or it may be historical, one being used at one time and the other at a different one; or one is abstract, the other concrete; one is literal, the other figurative; one is the more common expression, the other the more elegant; one is a prose word, the other poetical; one belongs to one kind of poetry, and the other to another. The difference also consists in the point of view which the writer takes. _Quies_ is rest; _requies_ also is rest; but the latter word shows that the writer has in mind a previous state of _unrest_. There are other differences also growing out of the essential nature of the words. The advantages of the study of synonymes in a classical course, are too great to be neglected. A knowledge of them gives to the student a fulness and precision of his author's meaning otherwise unattainable. The point of a sentence often turns upon a delicate shade of thought conveyed by a particular word, which another of similar signification would not give; if this delicate shade is not appreciated, the writer's thought is either misapprehended, or but imperfectly understood. Again, the habit of observing the proper use of words related to each other in meaning, as whether one is generic, and the other specific, one abstract, the other concrete, one literal, the other figurative, or whatever be the ground and nature of the difference, is one of the essential benefits of classical study. The whole process of such study, when rightly conducted, is that of "arbitrating between conflicting probabilities;" and the closest power of arbitration is often requisite in determining the particular idea conveyed by related words. Or, if the distinctions are drawn out, as they are in a treatise on synonymes, the mind of the student is trained to close and discriminating observation, in being required to note and fix these distinctions, and to give a definite form to them in his own mind, and to express them in his own language. Besides the more direct advantages resulting from the study of synonymes, an increased interest will thereby be given to classical studies There is a natural fondness in the youthful mind for the process of comparison, for tracing resemblances and differences. This element should not be neglected when it can be turned to so good account. It will help to relieve the tedium and barrenness of classical study, as too often conducted, and to give some living features to languages which are too generally looked upon as "dead." The meaning of a particular word is often given more distinctly by stating its opposite. The relation, or shade of thought, which cannot be conveyed fully by a direct definition, nor perhaps, indeed, by words at all, is made clear and distinct by showing to what it is opposed. This valuable means of elucidation, the author has used with great success in this work. While the author has "omitted all detail in the treatment of Greek synonymes" in this compend, he has very wisely sought out the nearest corresponding Greek expression, and placed it with the Latin word to be explained. Thus the Greek word, to the more advanced scholar, will often throw light upon the Latin, and the Latin in turn upon the Greek. In this way the work is indirectly valuable in elucidating Greek synonymes. The present edition of this work is reprinted from the second London edition, which is essentially the same as the first, with a few corrections and improvements. S. H. T. ANDOVER, JANUARY, 1858. THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. The wish has been expressed to me from different quarters, and particularly by several respectable schoolmasters, to see the essential results of my larger work on Latin Synonymes and Etymologies compressed into a Hand-book. Although within the twelve years since I began to work at the long-neglected study of Latin Synonymes, the market has been almost glutted with works of the same sort, in the form of hand-books, by Habicht, Ramshorn, Jentzen, and Schmalfeld, I have not, on that acount, the least hesitation in complying with the wish expressed to me, by publishing the present Abridgment; for, in asserting that my method and the arrangement of my materials are totally distinct from what have been adopted by those deserving authors, I trust that I am neither extolling myself, nor underrating them. The Abridgment which I here submit to the Public contains, I hope, all that is essential in my larger work;--to effect which object I have omitted certain things of less direct importance; namely,-- First,--All etymological deductions. Not wishing, however, entirely to renounce my principle of associating the etymology with the synonyme, I have inserted it between parentheses, whenever it was not either so obvious as to make the insertion unnecessary, or so far-fetched as to make the etymology doubtful. Many instances of this sort will and must, especially to him who is not conversant with etymological researches, appear singularly uncouth; but it would have led me too far to refer, in every instance, to the principles established in the Treatise on the Formation of Latin Words, which I have subjoined to my larger work as a Supplement. I must, therefore, entreat those readers and critics into whose hands my treatise has not fallen, to ignore (if I may use a law term) the words included between parentheses, or to suspend their verdict concerning them. Secondly,--I have omitted all parallel passages, and such as have an affinity with each other, without possessing any stringent force as proofs. On the other hand, I have given at length those passages in the classics in which the ancients, in the course of speech, and not by means of grammatical reflections, have introduced synonymes in contrast with each other, and thus taught their differences; and where such passages were wanting, I have frequently brought into juxta-position several passages from one and the same author, in which he seems to have indicated some peculiar force in a particular expression. Thirdly,--I have omitted all critical and exegetical discussions. The more scientific form of my larger work not only afforded me the opportunity, but imposed the obligation of entering upon such discussions; but in the present Abridgment I have thought it best, except in a very few cases, to omit them altogether. Fourthly,--I have omitted all detail in the treatment of the Greek synonymes. Nevertheless, I have thought it of essential importance to search for the nearest corresponding expression, both in the Greek and German languages, and place them by the side of the Latin synonyme; and at the same time to ascertain, and make intuitive, as it were, the precise meaning and extent of the Latin expression, by the introduction of such words as are strictly in opposition to it. Fifthly,--I have omitted the views of other writers on synonymes. In my larger work I introduced, often only as literary curiosities, distinctions derived from the Latin grammarians, Varro, Cicero, Agrætius, Pseudo-fronto, and Pseudo-palæmon; and I also quoted, whether agreeing with or differing from me, the modern writers on synonymes, Popma, Hill, Dumesnil, Smitson, Habicht, Ramshorn, Jentzen, and others. Instead of which I must here content myself with merely referring to such quotations as are contained in my larger work; and have therefore added, at the end of each article, the volume and page of that work in which these quotations are to be found. Sixthly,--I have omitted such synonymes as are of very rare occurrence, and distinguished from each other by a very slight difference. In my larger work I have treated as synonymes many expressions, #hapax eirêmena#, that occur but once, and whose differences, on that very account, cannot be deduced from the general usage of the language, but can merely be guessed at from etymology and other sources. Such expressions are of no importance with reference to the object of this Hand-book. The same may be said of many synonymes which can be distinguished, as it were, only by a microscope. Such synonymes are found throughout my larger work in great numbers, and have drawn upon me the reproach of "hair-splitting." The fact I must acknowledge, but cannot admit it to be a reproach; for surely it is the proper vocation of a scientific writer on synonymes, not so much to distinguish words that merely resemble each other in meaning, as those that are apparently equivalent. The greater their apparent equivalence, the more difficult it is to grasp their essential difference, and the more indispensable the aid of a guide to synonymes. If, therefore, it be admitted, that words identical in meaning do not exist, and that it is morally impossible, if I may use the expression, that they should exist, the only questions are, whether, in such cases, it is worth while to search out their differences, and whether it is possible to find them out. Science will answer the first question, without hesitation, in the affirmative; and with respect to the second, there can at least be no presumption in making the attempt. A distinction is soon obtained when several words are contrasted with the word under consideration; and if these contrasted words are also synonymous with each other, it must follow, that the affinity of the several words in meaning is so close, as to permit their interchange, as synonymes, under all circumstances. Their differences are altogether unimportant with reference to speaking and writing, but highly important as far as the intimate and more refined knowledge of the language itself is concerned. It is on this account that hair-splitting is allowable. Can there be a doubt that a distinction will be slight in proportion as it has its origin in the individual feelings of those by whom a language is used? Such distinctions in synonymes are, consequently, most felt in one's native language; it is only necessary that the feelings in which they have their origin should not be vague and unformed. In the introduction to the fourth part of my work I have evinced, I hope, sufficient liberality and tolerance with regard to the obligation of conforming to these hair-breadth distinctions, and selecting one's expressions accordingly. So much in justification of those reprobated hair-splittings; those discoveries of atoms, or, as my deceased friend Bremi expressed it, keen discernment of atoms, which in my larger work, more devoted to science than to instruction, found their proper place; but in the present Hand-book, intended for the use of schools, especially in the art of writing Latin, my predilection for such nice distinctions would be sadly out of place. Distinctions of that sort I have, therefore, for the most part, omitted, but not with the intention of silently retracting them. * * * I here submit a few observations to the notice of schoolmasters. For the purposes of instruction, synonymes may be divided into three classes; the first embraces those which the scholar cannot too quickly learn to distinguish, because their affinity is merely apparent, arising from their being translated by the same word in the mother-tongue; for instance, _liberi_ and _infantes_; _animal_ and _bestia_; _hærere_ and _pendere_; _sumere_ and _adimere_; _hostis_ and _inimicus_. The interchange of such synonymes may be counted a blunder of the same sort as that which is called a solecism. To the second class belong those synonymes which may be distinguished from each other with ease and certainty, but which are, at the same time, so nearly related in meaning, that the ancients themselves use them, without hesitation, as interchangeable; for instance, _lascivus_ and _petulans_; _parere_ and _obedire_; _ater_ and _niger_; _incipere_ and _inchoare_; _mederi_ and _sanare_; _vacuus_ and _inanis_; _spernere_ and _contemnere_; _tranquillus_ and _quietus_. As long as the scholar has to contend with the elements of grammar, the teacher may leave him in the erroneous opinion, that these expressions have exactly the same meaning; but, when further advanced, he must be taught to distinguish them, partly in order to accustom him to that propriety of expression which is necessary in writing Latin; partly, without reference to composition, as a very useful mental exercise. In the third class I rank those words whose differences are not to be ascertained without trouble, and cannot be deduced with full evidence from the old authors, and which, probably, were but dimly discerned even by the ancients themselves; for instance, _lira_ and _sulcus_; _remus_ and _tonsa_; _pæne_ and _prope_; _etiam_ and _quoque_; _recordari_ and _reminisci_; _lævus_ and _sinister_; _velox_ and _pernix_; _vesanus_ and _vecors_; _fatigatus_ and _fessus_; _collis_ and _clivus_. Such distinctions are of little or no consequence in composition, except when it is necessary to use synonymous terms in express opposition to each other; for instance, _mare_ and _amnis_, in opp. to _lacus_ and _fluvius_; _metus_ and _spes_, in opp. to _timor_ and _fiducia_: when such occasions occur, the richness of a language in synonymes is available. A more scrupulous exactness in this respect would appear to me arrant pedantry, and necessarily obstruct the free movement of the mind in writing. As a teacher, I should wish that the synonymes of the first sort should be distinguished by boys in the elementary classes; those of the second, I would introduce into the higher classes, and teach the scholar, when about fourteen, to observe their differences in the choice of expressions in composition; I would also explain them in the interpretation of an author, but with moderation, as a spur to thinking, not as a clog in reading. Those of the third class I would never introduce, except in explaining such passages as render their introduction unavoidable; for instance, when an author combines _flumina et amnes_, I would explain their difference to defend him from the suspicion of tautology. I have consulted convenience of reference in interweaving the alphabetical index with the context. By this means any one can find at once the word of which he is in search, which a separate index would render impossible. These arrangements, combined with an almost studied precision of expression, have enabled me to reduce the six volumes of my larger work on Synonymes (which fills, including the Supplement, more than one hundred and forty-three sheets) to this Abridgment, of about fifteen. The etymological part of my researches I reserve for a separate volume, of about the same size as the present, which will make its appearance as an Etymological Hand-book of the Latin language. May the present publication, and that which I announce, meet with the same favorable and indulgent reception that has fallen to the share of my larger work with all its defects. _Erlangen, December, 1839._ HANDBOOK OF LATIN SYNONYMES. A. ABDERE, see _Celare_. ABESSE; DEESSE; DEFICERE. 1. +Abesse+ denotes absence as a local relation, 'to be away' from a place; but +deesse+ denotes an absence by which a thing is rendered incomplete, and means 'to fail,' 'to be wanting,' in opp. to _esse_ and _superesse_.

Verr. i. 11. Vererer ne oratio _deesset_, ne vox viresque _deficerent_. (v. 339.) ABNUERE, see _Negare_. ABOLERE (#apolesai#) means 'to annul,' to 'annihilate,' and, as far as possible, to remove from the universe and cast into oblivion; but +delere+ (#diolesai#, or #dêlein#) 'to destroy,' to bring a thing to nought, and make it useless. ABOMINARI; EXSECRARI; DETESTARI. +Abominari+ means to recoil from, as of evil omen; and to avert a threatening evil by a ceremony, in opp. to _omen accipere_; +exsecrari+ means to _curse_, when one would exclude a guilty person from human society as devoted to the infernal gods, in opp. to blessing; lastly, +detestari+ (#thessasthai#) means to curse, when one wishes to deprecate evil by an appeal to the gods against a dreaded person or thing, in opp. to praying in behalf of. ABSCONDERE, see _Celare_. ABSOLVERE, see _Finire_. ABSTINENTIA, see _Modus_. ABUNDARE; REDUNDARE. +Abundare+ denotes plenteousness in a good sense, as the symbol of full measure and affluence, like #perieinai#, +redundare+ is used in a bad sense, as a symbol of over-abundance and luxury, like #perisseuein#: of that which is _abundans_ there is an _ample supply_ at hand; that which is _redundans_ is superfluous and might be dispensed with. ABUNDE, see _Satis_. AC, see _Et_. ACCENDERE; INCENDERE; INFLAMMARE; COMBURERE; CREMARE. +Accendere+, +incendere+, and +inflammare+, mean 'to set on fire:' +accendere+, from without, and at a single point, like #anaptein# [hence to _light_ a torch, etc.]; +incendere+, from within, like #endaiein# [hence to _set fire_ to _houses_, _villages_]; +inflammare+, 'to set on fire,' either from without or from within, but with bright flames, like #anaphlogizein#; +comburere+ and +cremare+ mean 'to burn up, or consume by fire;' +comburere+, with a glowing heat, as the causative of _ardere_, like #katakaiein#; +cremare+, with bright flames, as the causative of _flagrare_ like #pimpranai#. Hence, mortui _cremantur_ on a bright blazing funeral pile; vivi _comburuntur_, Cic. Fam. x. 32. Verr. i. 33 and 38, in order to make the torture of that mode of dying felt the more. (iv. 250.) ACCEPTUS, see _Gratus_. ACCERSERE, see _Arcessere_. ACCIDERE; EVENIRE; CONTIGERE; OBVENIRE; OBTINGERE. +Accidere+ and +evenire+ denote both favorable and unfavorable occurrences; but the _accidentia_, unexpected ones, overtaking us by surprise; the _evenientia_ were expected, foreseen; +contingere+, +obvenire+, +obtingere+, are generally confined to _fortunate_ occurrences. The _accidentia_ are fortuitous, the _evenientia_ result from foregoing acts or circumstances; the _contingentia_ are the favors of Fortune; the _obtingentia_ and _obvenientia_ are the things that fall to one's _lot_. Cic. Fam. vi. 21. Timebam, ne _evenirent_, quæ _acciderunt_: the word _evenirent_ has a _subjective_ reference to his foresight, the word _acciderunt_ is entirely _objective_; the point of view taken by it being that of those who _now_ manifest _surprise_.

ACERVUS; CONGERIES; STRUES; CUMULUS. 1. +Acervus+ and +congeries+ mean 'heaps' of homogeneous things collected and piled up in layers; +acervus+ [from #ageirô#], like #sôros#, with arrangement, and mostly in a conical shape, but +congeries+, negligently, and altogether without regard to shape; +strues+ denotes that something new is produced, and a determinate form given, serving a particular purpose; like #thêmôn#. Curt. viii. 7. 11. Passim _acervos strues_que accendebant; meaning by _acervos_ '_heaps_' or '_piles_,' by _strues_ '_stacks_' of wood. 2. +Cumulus+ (from #akmê#) means strictly, not the heap itself, but the top, by which the heap is completed as a whole, like the key-stone, by which any thing first reaches its proper and complete height, almost like #koruphê#; and it has this meaning particularly in +cumulare+, which is like #koruphoun#. Compare Liv. xxii. 59. Superstantes _cumulis_ cæsorum corporum, with Cannenses campos _acervi_ Romanorum corporum tegunt: and xxiii. 5. Molibus ex humanorum corporum _strue_ faciendis. (ii. 118.) ACHIVI; ACHÆI; ACHAIUS; ACHAICUS; TROIUS; TROICUS. 1. +Achivi+ are the Homeric Greeks, or #Achaioi#; +Achæi+ are either the inhabitants of Achaia, or, in the poets, the Greeks at large, as contemporaries of the Romans. Cic. Divin. i. 16. Cum +Achivi+ coepissent inter se strepere. Compare this with Cæcil. 20. Quod cum sibi _Achæi_ patronum adoptarant. 2. +Achaius+ is the adj. of Achivus. Hor. Od. i. 15. 37. Virg. Æn. ii. 462; but +Achaicus+ is the adj. of Achæus. Cic. Att. i. 13. 3. +Troius+ is the more _select_ term, as adj. of the old heroic and Homeric Troja; +Troicus+, the usual adj. of the country Troas, without reference to the Trojan war. (v. 306.) ACIES; ACUMEN; CACUMEN; MUCRO; CUSPIS. 1. +Acies+ is the sharpness of a line adapted for cutting; +acumen+, of a tip or point adapted for sticking. Figuratively, the _acies mentis_ is shown in the keen sifting of what is confused, in clear perception; the _acumen mentis_ is the fathoming of that which is deeply hidden, in subtle discovery. 2. +Acumen+ and +cacumen+ mean a natural head or top; +acumen+, of a cone, beak, and so forth; +cacumen+, particularly that of a mountain: +mucro+ and +cuspis+ mean an artificial head, for the purpose of piercing and wounding; +mucro+, that of a sword, dagger, and so forth; +cuspis+, that of a spear, arrow, etc., like #aichmê#. (vi. 5.) ACIES, see _Pugna_. ACTA, see _Ripa_. ACTOR; COMOEDUS; LUDIO; HISTRIO. The generic term +actor+, and the specific terms +comoedus+ and +tragoedus+, denote the player, as a respectable artist; but +ludio+, +ludius+, the _comedian_, the player, who makes acting his _trade_, with the accessory notion of commonness; lastly, +histrio+, sometimes the actor, sometimes the _comedian_, but mostly with the accessory notion of buffoonery and boasting.

[[redirects to _Diligere_]] ADESSE; INTERESSE; PRÆSENTEM ESSE. 1. +Adesse+ means to be near a person or thing; but +interesse+, to assist in a transaction, to _take a part_ in it. Cic. Verr. i. 40. Crimina ea, quæ notiora sunt his qui _adsunt_, quam nobis . . . . De illo nihil dixit, in quo _interfuit_. 2. +Adesse+ denotes generally the presence in a circle to which we belong; +præsentem esse+, absolute, audible and visible presence. When an expected guest is within our walls, _adest_; he who is in the same room with us, _præsens est_. (v. 337.) ADHUC; HACTENUS; HUCUSQUE. +Adhuc+ refers to time, up to this moment; +hactenus+ and +hucusque+ have a local reference, up to this place, or this point. ADIGERE, see _Cogere_. ADIMERE, see _Demere_. ADIPISCI, see _Invenire_. ADJUVARE, see _Auxilium_. ADMIRARI, see _Vereri_. ADMODUM, see _Perquam_. ADOLERE, see _Accendere_. ADOLESCENS, see _Puer_. ADORARE, see _Vereri_.

ADVERSARIUS; HOSTIS; INIMICUS. 1. +Adversarius+ is the generic term for every opposer, in the field, in politics, in a court of judicature, like #antistatês#. +Hostis+ (from #echthô#) is 'the enemy' in the field, and war, opp. to _pacatus_. Cic. Rep. ii. 3. Sen. Q. N. vi. 7. like #polemios#; +inimicus+, 'an enemy' in heart, opp. to _amicus_, like #echthros#. Cic. Man. 10. Pompeius sæpius cum _hoste_ conflixit, quam quisquam cum _inimico_ concertavit. Phil. xi. 1. Verr. i. 15. Curt. vii. 10. Liv. xxii. 39. Nescio an infestior hic _adversarius_, quam ille _hostis_ maneat. 2. +Hostilis+ and +inimicus+ denote states of hatred become habitual qualities; +infestus+ and +infensus+ only as temporary states; +infestus+ (#anaspastos#?) applies to a quiescent state of aversion, like disaffected, unkind, and thus it is applied to inanimate things that threaten hostility; +infensus+ (from #penthos#) denotes a passionate state of mind, like enraged, and is therefore applicable to persons only. Tac. Ann. xv. 28. Non _infensum_, nedum _hostili_ odio Corbulonis nomen habebatur. Cic. Verr. iii. 24. Sall. Cat. 19. Sen. N. Q. iii. pr. Animus luxuriæ non _adversus_ tantum, sed et _infestus_. Liv. ii. 20. Tarquinium _infesto_ spiculo petit; Tarquinius _infenso_ cessit _hosti_. (iv. 393.) ADVOCATUS; CAUSIDICUS. +Advocatus+ means in the writers of the silver age 'a counsel' in relation to his services and to his client, as his friend and assistant; +causidicus+, in relation to his station and profession, often with the contemptuous accessory notion of his being a hireling. (vi. 8.) ÆDES, see _Templum_. ÆDIFICIUM; DOMUS; ÆDES; FAMILIA. 1. +Ædificium+ is the generic term for buildings of all sorts, like #oikodomêma#; +domus+, and +ædes+, +ædium+, mean 'a dwelling-house;' +domus+, as the residence and home of a family; +ædes+ (#aithô#, #aithousa#), as composed of several apartments, like #domoi#, #dômata#. Virg. G. ii. 461. Ingentem foribus _domus_ alta superbis mane salutantum totis vomit _ædibus_ undam. (vi. 8.) 2. +Domus+ denotes 'a family' in the patriarchal sense, as a separate society, of which the individuals are mutually connected; +familia+, in a political sense, as part of a gens, civitas, or populus. (v. 301.) ÆGER; ÆGROTUS; MORBIDUS; MORBUS; VALETUDO; INVALETUDO. 1. +Æger+ is the generic term for every sort of illness and uneasiness, whether mental or physical; +ægrotus+ and +morbidus+ indicate bodily illness: +ægrotus+ is applied particularly to men; +morbidus+, to brutes: the _æger_ feels himself ill; the _ægrotus_ and _morbidus_ actually are so. 2. +Morbus+ and +valetudo+ denote an actual illness; +morbus+, objectively, that which attacks men; +valetudo+, subjectively, the state of the sick, though this distinction was introduced by writers of the silver age; +invaletudo+ means only an _indisposition_. (iv. 172.) ÆGRE, see _Vix_. ÆGRITUDO, see _Cura_. ÆGROTUS, see _Æger_. ÆMULATIO, see _Imitatio_. ÆQUALIS, see _Æquus_. ÆQUOR, see _Mare_. ÆQUUS; PAR; ÆQUALIS; PARILIS; COMPAR; IMPAR; DISPAR. 1. +Æquum+ (from #eikelos#) is that of which _its own_ component parts are alike, in opp. to _varius_, Cic. Verr. v. 49; +par+ (from #peirô#) is that which is like to some other person or thing, and stands _in the same rank_ (on the _same level_) with it or him, in opp. to _superior_ and _inferior_. Cic. Brut. 59, 215. Orat. ii. 52, 209. 39, 166. In _æquo marte_ the battle between two parties is considered as a whole; in _pari marte_ the fortune of one party is set against that of the other, and declared to be equal to it. 2. +Par+ denotes similarity with respect to greatness, power, and value, or equality and proportion with regard to number, like #isos#; +æqualis+ refers to interior qualities, like #homoios#. The _par_ is considered as in a state of activity, or, at least, as determined and prepared to measure himself with his match in contest; the _æqualis_, in a state of rest, and claiming merely comparison and equality as to rank. The _paria_ are placed in opposition to each other, as _rivals_ in the contest for pre-eminence; the _æqualia_ are considered in a _friendly_ relation to each other, in consequence of their common qualities and sympathies. Hence +pariter+ means, in the same degree, #isa#; +æqualiter+, in the same manner, #homoiôs#, #homôs#. Vell. Pat. ii. 124. 3. +Par+ denotes _quite_ like, +parilis+, _nearly_ like, as a middle step between _par_ and _similis_. 4. +Par+ expresses equal to _another_, and hence may relate to only _one side_; +compar+, _mutually_ equal, like _finitimi_ and _confines_, #engus# and #sunengus#. 5. +Impar+ denotes inequality as to _quantity_, either arithmetical inequality with regard to number [= odd], or a _relative inferiority_ as to strength; +dispar+ refers to _quality_, without distinguishing on which side of the comparison the advantage lies. (iv. 77.) ÆQUUS; PLANUS; CAMPUS. 1. +Æquum+ (from #eikelos#) denotes that which is flat, a horizontal flatness, in opposition to that which rises or sinks, to _superior_, _inferior_, and _acclivis_. Cic. Fam. iii. 8. Orat. iii. 6. Tac. Agr. 35. Hist. iv. 23; +planum+ (from #plax#) denotes 'evenness,' in opp. to unevenness, to _montosus_, _saxosus_. Cic. Part. 10. Quintil. v. 10, 37. 21. Hence, figuratively, +æquum+ denotes 'justice,' as injustice may be considered as beginning when one part is raised above another; in the same way +planum+ denotes clearness and distinctness, where nothing rises to interrupt the view. 2. +Æquor+ and +planities+ denote a flat surface with regard to its form; +campus+, with regard to its position, as low-lands in opp. to high-lands. (iv. 71.) ÆQUUS ANIMUS, see _Satis habere_. AER, see _Anima_. ÆRARIUM; FISCUS. +Ærarium+ is 'the public treasury;' +fiscus+ (from #pithos#, #pithaknê#), 'the imperial treasury.' Tac. Ann. vi. 2. Bona Sejani ablata _ærario_, ut in _fiscum_ cogerentur; tanquam referret! (vi. 10.) ÆRUMNA, see _Labor_. ÆSTIMARE, see _Censere_. ÆSTUARE, see _Calere_. ÆTERNUS, see _Continuus_. AFFARI, see _Alloqui_. AFFATIM, see _Satis_. AFFINIS, see _Necessarius_. AFFIRMARE, see _Dicere_. AGER, see _Rus_ and _Villa_. AGERE; FACERE; GERERE; OPUS; FACTUM; AGE; I NUNC; DEGERE. 1. +Agere+ (#agein#) has an effect that exists in time only, like to do; +facere+, an effect that exists in space also, as to make. The _acta_ are past as soon as the _agens_ ceases, and remain invisible in the memory; the _facta_ cannot properly be said to exist till the _faciens_ ceases. Quintil. ii. 18. The _agens_ is supposed to be in a state of activity of some kind; the _faciens_ in a state of _productive_ activity. 2. +Agere+ means 'to do' something for one's own interest; +gerere+ (#ageirein#), for the interest of another, to execute a commission. Cic. Verr. i. 38. Quæ etiamsi voluntate Dolabellæ _fiebant_, per istum tamen omnia _gerebantur_. 3. +Opus+ is the result of facere, as the work, #ergon#; +factum+ is the result of agere, as the transaction; +res gestæ+ are deeds [_e.g._ in war], #praxeis#; +acta+ are only political enactments. Cic. Att. xiv. 17. Multa de _facto_ ac de _re gesta_; the former by the exertions of Amatius, the latter by his own wise and spirited animadversions through Dolabella. 4. +Age, agedum+, is an earnest exhortation, as 'On, on!' +I nunc+ is an ironical exhortation, as 'Go to!' 5. +Agere+ means to be active, and in the midst of business; +degere+, to live somewhere in a state of rest, in voluntary or involuntary inactivity. Tac. Ann. xv. 74. Deum honor principi non ante habetur, quam _agere_ inter homines desierit, compared with iv. 54. Certus procul urbe _degere_. (v. 327.) AGERE FERRE, see _Vastare_. AGGER; VALLUM. +Agger+ (from #esageirô#) is a single line, like a dam; +vallum+ or _mound_ (#alkê#) is a line which helps to enclose a space. +Agger+ may serve in a warfare as the outwork of a _redoubt_ [which is protected by a _single line_ in front]; +vallum+ [_rampart_] always belongs to a fortress, camp, or entrenched place. AGMEN, see _Caterva_. AGRESTIS, see _Rus_. AIO, see _Dicere_. ALA; PENNA; PLUMA; PINNA. 1. +Ala+ (from #echô#, _vehere_) denotes 'the wing,' as a joint, like #pterux#; +penna+ (#petesthai#), with reference to its feathers, like #pteron#. Plaut. Poen. iv. 2. 48. Meæ _alæ pennas_ non habent. 2. +Penna+ denotes the larger and harder feathers; +pluma+, the smaller and softer feathers, which serve as a clothing to the body of the bird, like #ptilon#. Sen. Ep. 42. Meministi, cum quendam affirmares esse in tua potestate, dixisse me volaticum esse ac levem, et te non pedem ejus tenere, sed _pennam_. Mentitus sum; _pluma_ tenebatur, quam remisit et fugit. Cic. N. D. ii. 47. 121. 3. +Penna+ denotes the whole, consisting of quill and feathers; +pinna+, the feather only, in opposition to the quill. (v. 204.) ALACER, see _Gaudere_. ALA, see _Armus_. ALAPA; COLAPHUS. +Alapa+ (Goth. _lofa_, 'the flat hand,') denotes a blow with the flat hand on the face, as a gentle punishment, like a slap on the cheek, or box on the ear; +colaphus+ (#kolaphos#), a blow on the head with the clenched fist, betokening anger and rage, like a cuff, a thump. (vi. 14.) ALBUS; CANDIDUS; ALBIDUS. 1. +Albus+ (#alphos#) denotes 'white,' as far as it is in general a negation of all color, as that which is colorless; +candidus+ (from #xanthos#), as being itself a positive color, and, as such, the purest and brightest, near which all other colors have a shade of darkness and duskiness, as a fine brilliant white. +Albus+, opposed to _ater_, approaches, like #leukon#, to yellowish; +candidus+, opposed to _niger_, approaches, like #argon#, to bluish. +Alba cutis+ is the skin of the sick and dropsical; +candida+, that of the fair girl. Figuratively, +albor+ is the symbol of good fortune and joy; +candor+, of purity of mind and innocence. 2. +Albus+ denotes 'white;' +albidus+, only 'whitish.' (iii. 193.) ALERE; NUTRIRE; NUTRICARE. +Alere+ (from #althô#) denotes nourishment, as conducive to development and growth; +nutrire+ and +nutricare+, only as it prolongs and secures existence. Or, +alimenta+ adjuvant, +nutrimenta+ sustentant. Cic. N. D. ii. 63. Neque _ali_ neque sustentari. +Nutrire+ involves a general notion; +nutricare+ is usually applied more particularly to brutes. (ii. 99.) ALGERE, ALGIDUS, see _Frigere_. ALIENIGENA, see _Externus_. ALIMENTA; PENUS; CIBUS; ESCA; EDULIA; CIBARE; PASCERE. 1. +Alimenta+ and +penus+ are victuals in general, meat and drink; +alimenta+, mostly with reference to the wants of an individual; +penus+, to the wants of a whole family. +Cibus+ and +esca+ denote 'food,' in opposition to drink. Cic. Fin. i. 11, and ii. 28. +Cibus+ (from #geuô#, to chew), natural food, as a means of nourishment; +esca+ (from #edô#), 'the food' that is artificially prepared as a dish. Hence +cibus+ denotes the food of brutes also; but +esca+, only a bait, prepared as it were like a dish, and set before them. Cic. N. D. ii. 47. Animalia _cibum_ partim dentibus capessunt: compare this with ii. 23. Dii nec _escis_ nec potionibus vescuntur. 2. +Cibaria+ are the most general and usual sorts of food; +edulia+ are savory and select sorts of food. Suet. Tib. 46. Comites nunquam salario, _cibariis_ tantum sustentavit; compare with Cal. 40. Pro _eduliis_ certum statumque exigebatur. 3. +Cibare+ means to feed with one's hand, as nurses, etc.; +pascere+ (from #pasasthai#), only to give out food, as a feeder or master. Suet. Tib. 72. Draconem manu sua _cibaturus_; compare with Vesp. 18. Sineret se plebeculam _pascere_. (v. 192.) ALIQUANDO, see _Nonnunquam_. ALITES, see _Volucres_. ALLOQUI; APPELLARE; AFFARI. +Alloqui+ denotes accosting, as addressing the first word, a salutation, and so forth, to a person with whom one is not unacquainted; +appellare+ (from an old Gothic substantive, spellan), when one wishes to draw a person into conversation, and direct to him serious, or, at any rate, not insignificant words; +affari+ denotes _addressing_ from the impulse of a _feeling_; through peculiar friendliness or with solemnity. Cic. Cluent. 61. Quum nemo recipere tecto, nemo audire, nemo _alloqui_, nemo respicere vellet: compare with Phil. xiii. 2. Salutabunt benigne, comiter _appellabunt_ unumquemque nostrum; and Brut. 3. Salutatio libri, quo me hic _affatus_ quasi jacentem excitavit. (v. 107.) ALSUS, see _Frigere_. ALTERCATIO, see _Disceptatio_. ALTUS; EDITUS; PROCERUS; ARDUUS; CELSUS; EXCELSUS; SUBLIMIS. 1. +Altus+ denotes, as a general expression, height or depth, as mathematical dimensions, in opp. to length and breadth, and, consequently, height, in opp. to _humilis_; Cic. Tusc. v. 13. 24. Orat 57. N. D. ii. 47, like #hupsêlos#; +editus+ denotes height, in opp. to _planus_, Tac. Ann. xv. 38: lastly, +procerus+ denotes height or length in reference to growth. The _altum_ has no measure and no limits; the _editum_ has the bulk of a hill; the _procerum_ has the bulk of a tree, the full stature of the human figure, and so forth. 2. +Altus+, +editus+, and +procerus+, denote height merely in relation to space; +arduus+ means height, which is at the same time steep and inaccessible; thence, figuratively, 'difficult, impossible;' +celsus+, height, that thrusts itself out, and stretches upwards; thence, figuratively, 'proud;' +excelsus+ and +præcelsus+, what overtops something that is itself high, hence 'pre-eminent;' +sublimis+, what is on high without touching the ground, soaring in the air, like #meteôros#; thence, figuratively, 'grand,' of an elevated nature. (ii. 99.) AMANS, AMATOR, see _Amicus_. AMARE, see _Diligere_. AMARUS, see _Acerbus_. AMBIGUUS, see _Dubius_. AMBIRE; CIRCUMIRE. +Circumire+ denotes motion in any circular form, but on the boundaries of a space, so as to go round it; +ambire+ denotes going hither and thither in zigzag, or going about. Plin. Ep. ii. 9. _Ambio_ domos, stationesque _circumeo_: and Cic. Att. xiv. 21. Antonium _circumire_ veteranos, ut acta Cæsaris sancirent; that is, He made in his canvassing the round, from first to last;--stronger than _ambire_, which would only express his canvassing, and addressing the veterans in general. AMBO, see _Uterque_. AMBULARE; SPATIARI; DEAMBULARE; INAMBULARE; OBAMBULARE. 1. +Ambulare+ (from _ambire_) denotes taking a walk as a leisurely motion, like going up and down, in opp. both to _stare_ and _cubare_, and also to _currere_ and _salire_; Plaut. Bacch. iv. 8. 56. Plin. Ep. ix. 36. Cic. Fat. 5. Fin. v. 17. Sen. Ep. 113. Gell. ii. 9. Sen. Ir. ii. 35. Plin. H. N. x. 38: +spatiari+ denotes motion in open space, as to walk out, in opp. to the confinement which a room imposes. 2. +Deambulare+ denotes going up and down till one is tired; +inambulare+, within a bounded space; +obambulare+, with reference to a fixed object, _along which_ one walks, or to a person walking with us. (iii. 48.) AMENS; DEMENS; INSANUS; VESANUS; EXCORS; VECORS; FUROR; DELIRIUM; RABIES; CERRITUS; LYMPHATUS. 1. +Amentia+ shows itself negatively and passively; +dementia+, positively and energetically. The _amens_ is without reason, and either acts not at all, or acts without reason, like the idiot, #aphrôn#; the _demens_, while he fancies that he is doing right, acts in direct opposition to reason, like the madman, #paraphrôn#. Hence, _amens_ metu, terrore; _demens_ scelere, discordia, etc. 2. +Insanus+ has a _privative_; +vesanus+, a _depravative_ meaning. The _insanus_ in his passion oversteps the measure and bounds of right, and gives one the impression of a guilty person; the _vesanus_, in his delusion, wanders from the right path, follows a false object, and gives one the impression of an unfortunate person. 3. +Excors+ means of weak understanding in general, without the ability of reflecting and examining, in opp. to _cordatus_; +vecors+ means, of a perverted understanding, without the ability of reflecting calmly, from the mind being taken up with one fixed idea. 4. +Furor+ (fervere) denotes mental irritation, ecstasy, as raging, #manikos#; +delirium+ (#lêrein#), a physical and childish remission of the mental faculties; +rabies+ (#rhabassein#, #arabos#), a half-moral condition of a passionate insanity, as frantic, #lussa#. The _furibundus_ forgets the bounds of sense, the _delirus_ babbles nonsense, the _rabidus_ will bite and injure when he can. 5. +Cerritus+ and +lymphatus+ betoken frenzy, as a demoniacal state, as possessed, +cerritus+ or +ceritus+, by Ceres, +lymphatus+, by the nymphs; they may also be considered as derived from #koruza#, mucus narium, and from #lemphos#, mucus, as symbols of stupidity. (v. 89.) AMICTUS, AMICULUM, see _Vestis_. AMICUS; AMANS; AMATOR. +Amicus+ involves the notion of reciprocity, but means only a sincere and calm affection, like #philos#; +amans+ and +amator+ denote a more glowing affection, but do not imply reciprocity; +amans+ denotes this affection as a temporary state; +amator+ as an habitual feeling, like #erastês#. Cic. Verr. v. 63. Alba tunc antiquissimus non solum _amicus_, verum etiam _amator_. Tusc. iv. 12. Inter ebriositatem et ebrietatem interest, aliudque est _amatorem_ esse, aliud _amantem_. (iv. 102.) AMICUS, see _Socius_. AMITTERE; PERDERE; JACTURA. 1. +Amittere+ means to lose something, so that it ceases to be in our possession, like #apobalein#, opp. to _retinere_, Cic. Rep. v. i. Sext. 47. Suet. Tib. 15. Ter. Phorm. iii. 2, 22; +perdere+ means, to lose something, so that it is destroyed, and rendered useless, like #diolesai#, opp. to _servare_. Plaut. Rud. iv. 4, 120. Ter. Ad. ii. 2, 32. Sen. Contr. iii. 21.--Tac. Ann. ii. 25. _Perdita_ classe, _amissis_ armis. 2. +Amissio+ is an involuntary, +jactura+, a voluntary, loss, which a person undergoes, a sacrifice that is made to avoid a greater loss, as in the case of the master of a ship, who throws the freight overboard, to save his ship and his life. Plin. Ep. i. 12. _Jacturam_ gravissimam feci, si _jactura_ dicenda est tanti viri _amissio_. (iii. 289.) AMITTERE, see _Mittere_. AMNIS, see _Fluvius_. AMOR, see _Diligere_. AMPLECTI; COMPLECTI. +Amplecti+ denotes embracing, often with one arm only, as a sign of calm affection and protection; +complecti+, clasping and surrounding with both arms, as a sign of passionate love, or familiar confidence. +Amplecti+ means, figuratively, to lay hold of something, in opp. to slighting and disdaining; +complecti+, to take fully in one's grasp, in opp. to a half and superficial possession. (v. 281.) AMPLUS, see _Magnus_. ANCILLA, see _Servus_. ANCEPS, see _Dubius_. ANGUIS, see _Repere_. ANGOR, see _Cura_. ANGUSTUS; ARCTUS; DENSUS; SPISSUS. 1. +Angustus+ and +arctus+ relate to space itself, and to the proximity of its enclosing limits; +densus+ and +spissus+, to things existing in space, and to their proximity to one another. The _angustum_ (#engustos#) is bounded only by lines, and forms mostly an oblong, _narrow_, opp. to _latus_, Cic. Att. iv. 29, like #stenos#; the _arctum_ (from _arcere_, #eirgô#) is fenced in by lists, walls, or mounds, and forms mostly a square or circle, and so forth, _close_, in opp. to _laxus_, Cic. Orat. 25, like #stenôpos#. The clavus angustus can therefore never be arctus. Mel. iii. 2, 8. Rhenus ad dextram primo _angustus_, et sui similis, post ingens lacus Flevo dicitur . . . fitque iterum _arctior_, iterumque fluvius emittitur, in which passage the banks of the Rhine are considered only as lines, or as walls, 3. +Densus+ (from #adinos#? or #thama#?) denotes objects only as pressed near _to_ one another, and without any observable gaps, in opp. to _rarus_, like #dasus# and #thameios#: +spissus+, as pressed close _into_ one another, and without any intervals between, in opp. to _solutus_, loose, like #puknos# and #suchnos#. In +densus+ the principal notion is, the rich abundance of objects, which have no need to keep far apart, if they are to fill a wide space; in +spissus+, the want of empty space, from all the spaces between objects being filled up, owing to their being crowded together. (iv. 431.) ANIMA; AER; AURA; SPIRITUS; SUBLIME. +Anima+ and +aër+ denote 'air' as an element, like #aêr#, and +anima+ (#anemos#), in opp. to _terra_, _mare_, _ignis_; but +aër+, a learned term (#aêr#, from #aeirô#?) in opp. to _æther_; +aura+ and +spiritus+ denote 'air' when put in motion; +aura+ (#aura#, from #aesai#, or from #aeirai#), the gently waving and _fanning_ air; +spiritus+, the _streaming_ and breath-like air, like #pneuma#; lastly, +sublime+ (from sublevare?), the air that hovers over us, simply in a local relation, in opp. to _humus_, like #metarsion#, #meteôron#. (v. 92.) ANIMA; ANIMUS; MENS. 1. +Anima+ denotes 'the soul,' physiologically, as the principle of animal life, in men and brutes, that ceases with the breath, like #psuchê#: +animus+ (#anemos#), psychologically and ethically, as the principle of moral personality, that ceases with the will, like #thumos#. The souls of the departed also are called, in a mythological point of view, +animæ+, as shades; but, in a metaphysical point of view, +animi+, as spirits. +Anima+ is a part of bodily existence; +animus+, in direct opposition to the body. Sen. Ep. 4. Difficile est _animum_ perducere ad contemtionem _animæ_: and 58. Juven. xv. 148. Principio indulsit communis conditor illis tantum _animas_, nobis _animum_ quoque. 2. +Animus+ denotes also the human soul, as including all its faculties, and is distinguished from +mens+ (#menos#, #manthanô#, the thinking faculty, as a whole from one of its parts. Cic. Rep. ii. 40. Ea quæ latet in _animis_ hominum, quæque pars _animi mens_ vocatur. Lucr. iii. 615. iv. 758. Catull. 65, 3. Plaut. Cist. iii. 1, 6. As in practical life the energy of the soul is displayed in the faculty of volition, so +animus+ itself stands for a part of the soul, namely, feeling and energy of will in co-ordinate relation to +mens+, the intellect or understanding. Tac. II. i. 84. Quem nobis _animum_, quas _mentes_ imprecentur. Ter. Andr. i. 1. 137. Mala _mens_, malus _animus_. And, lastly, so far as thought precedes the will, and the will itself, or determination, stands as mediator between thought and action, in the same way as the body is the servant of the will, so +mens+ is related to +animus+, as a whole to its part. Cic. Tusc. iii. 5. _Mens_, cui regnum totius _animi_ a natura tributum est. Liv. xxxvii. 45. (v. 94.) ANIMADVERTERE; NOTARE. +Animadvertere+ means, to observe mentally, and take notice of; but +notare+, to make distinguishable by a mark. (vi. 20.) ANIMAL; ANIMANS; BELLUA; BESTIA; PECUS; FERA. 1. +Animal+ and +animans+ are the animal as a living being, including man; +animal+, with reference to his nature, according to which he belongs to the class of living animals, in opp. to _inanimus_, like #zôon#; +animans+, with reference to his state, as still living and breathing,[1] in opp. to _exanimus_; +bellua+, +bestia+, and +pecus+, as irrational beings, in opp. to man, and +bellua+ and +pecus+, with intellectual reference, as devoid of reason, in peculiar opp. to _homo_, Cic. N. D. ii. 11; +bestia+ and +fera+, with moral reference, as wild, and hostile to man. 2. +Bellua+ (from #blax#) denotes, particularly, a great unwieldy animal, as the elephant, whale, principally sea-monsters; +pecus+, a domestic animal, particularly of the more stupid kinds, as a bullock, sheep, in opp. to the wild; +bestia+, a destructive animal, particularly those that are ravenous, as the tiger, wolf, etc., in opp. to birds, Justin, ii. 14, like #thêrion#; +fera+ (#phêres#), a wild animal of the wood, as the stag, wolf, tiger, in opp. to domestic animals. Curt. ix. 10. Indi maritimi _ferarum_ pellibus tecti piscibus sole duratis, et majorum quoque _belluarum_, quos fluctus ejecit, carne vescuntur. And Tac. G. 17. (iv. 291.) [Footnote 1: Hence _animalium cadavera_, not _animantium_.] ANNALES; HISTORIÆ. +Annales+ means a comprehensive historical work, principally and especially a history of former ages, composed from documents, like Livy and Tacitus; +historiæ+, particularly a work on the history of the times in which the author himself has lived, as Sallust and Tacitus. ANTIQUUS; PRISCUS; VETUS; VETUSTUS; VETERNUS; PRISTINUS. 1. +Antiquum+ and +priscum+ denote the age that formerly existed, and is now no more, in opp. to _novum_, like #palaios#; +vetus+ and +vetustum+ (from #etos#), what has existed for a long time, and has no longer any share in the disadvantages or advantages of youth, in opp. to _recens_, like #gerôn#, #geraios#, #gerousios#. Hence +antiquus homo+ is a man who existed in ancient times; +vetus+, an old man. +Antiqui scriptores+ means the classics, inasmuch as the age in which they flourished has long been past; +veteres+, inasmuch as they have lived and influenced manhood for 2000 years. Cic. Verr. i. 21. Vereor ne hæc nimis _antiqua_ et jam obsoleta videantur: compare with Orat. i. 37. Ut illi _vetus_ atque usitata exceptio daretur. 2. +Vetus+ refers only to length of time, and denotes age, sometimes as a subject of praise, sometimes as a reproach; +vetustus+ refers to the superiority of age, inasmuch as that which is of long standing is at the same time stronger, more worthy of honor, more approved of, than that which is new, in opp. to _novicius_; lastly, +veternus+ refers to the disadvantages of age, inasmuch as, after many years' use, a thing becomes worn out, or, through long existence, weak and spiritless. Moreover, +veternus+, in the writers of the golden age, is only admitted as a substantive, +veternum+, as lethargy; +vetus+ regularly supplies its place, and denotes more frequently the weakness than the strength of age. Tac. Ann. xi. 14 and 15. _Veterrimis_ Græcorum, and _vetustissima_ Italiæ disciplina. 3. +Antiquus+ denotes age only in relation to time, as a former age in opp. to the present; +priscus+ (from #paros#), as a solemn word, with the qualifying accessory notion of a former age worthy of honor, and a sacred primitive age, like #archaios#, in opp. to the fashion of the day. 4. +Antiquus+ and +priscus+ denote a time long past; +pristinus+, generally, denotes only a time that is past, like #proteros#. (iv. 83.) ANTRUM, see _Specus_. ANUS; VETULA. +Anus+ (as the fem. to _senex_) denotes an old lady, with respect, and also as a term of reproach; an old woman, with reference to her weakness, credulity, loquacity, and so forth: +vetula+, an old woman, with reference to her ugliness and disagreeableness. (iv. 92.) APERIRE; PATEFACERE; APERTE; PALAM; MANIFESTO; PROPALAM. 1. +Aperire+ (from #peparein#) means 'to open' a space that is covered at top, and therefore in a horizontal direction, as, for instance, pits and springs, and thereby to make them visible; +patefacere+, 'to open' a space whose sides are closed; hence, to open in a perpendicular direction, as, for instance, gates, roads, and fields, and thereby to make them accessible. 2. +Returare+ (from #stephô#, German stopfen) means, to make accessible an opening that has been stopped up; +recludere+, an opening that has been shut up; +reserare+, an opening that has been barred up. 3. +Aperte+ means 'openly,' and without concealment, so that everybody can perceive and know, in opp. to _occulte_, like #phanerôs#; +palam+ (from planus), 'openly,' and without hiding anything, so that everybody can see and hear, in opp. to _clam_, like #anaphandon#; +manifesto+, palpably, so that one is spared all inquiry, all conjecture, all exertion of the senses and of the mind, like #dêlon#. 4. +Palam+ denotes that openness which does not shun observation; +propalam+, that which courts observation. Cic. Orat. i. 35. Neque proposito argento neque tabulis et signis _propalam_ collocatis; that is, to everybody's admiration: compare with Pis. 36. Mensis _palam_ propositis; that is, without fear and constraint. (v. 291.) APPARET; EMINET. +Apparet+ means what is visible to him who observes; +eminet+, what forces itself upon observation, and attracts the eye. Sen. Ir. i. 1. _Apparent_ alii affectus, hic (scil. iræ) _eminet_. (vi. 23.) APPARET, see _Constat_. APPELLARE, see _Alloqui_ and _Nominare_. APTUS, see _Idoneus_. AQUA; UNDA; FLUCTUS; FLUENTUM. 1. +Aqua+ (from #ôkeanos#) denotes water materially as an element, in opp. to _terra_; +unda+ (from #nedê#, wet), as a flowing, continually moving element, in opp., as it were, to _solum_; +lympha+ (#lemphos#) is merely a poetical synonyme of _aqua_, with the accessory notion of clearness and brightness, to which the similar sound of the adjective _limpidus_, though not derived from it, gave occasion. 2. +Unda+ stands in the middle, between _aqua_ and _fluctus_, as _aura_ does between _aër_ and _ventus_. For +unda+ denotes, like wave, that which apparently moves _itself_, whereas +fluctus+ and +fluenta+, like billows, the water moved by something external, as storms and so forth; +fluctus+, the billows more in connection with the whole, the billowy sea, whereas +fluentum+ denotes a single billow. It is only the stormy sea, the boisterous stream, that urges on its billows, but every piece of water, that is not entirely stagnant, has its waves. Hence there is a great distinction between these two images in Cicero, Mil. 2, 5. Tempestates et procellas in illis duntaxat _fluctibus_ concionum semper putavi Miloni esse subeundas; that is, in the tumultuously agitated assemblies: and Planc. 6, 15. Si campus atque illæ _undæ_ comitiorum, ut mare profundum et immensum, sic effervescunt quodam quasi æstu; that is, the lightly moving assemblies. Sen. N. Q. iii. 10. Quid si ullam _undam_ superesse mireris, quæ superveniat tot _fluctibus_ fractis. And iv. 2. Nec mergit cadens _unda_, sed planis _aquis_ tradit. (ii. 10.) AQUOSUS, see _Udus_. ARBITRARI, see _Censere_. ARCANA; SECRETA; MYSTERIA. +Arcana+ denotes secrets, in a good sense, such as are so of themselves, and from their own nature, and should be spoken of with awe; thus +arcana+, as a popular term, denotes secrets of all sorts; on the other hand, +mysteria+, as a learned term, denotes religious secrets, like the Eleusinian mysteries; lastly, +secreta+ denotes secrets, in the most ordinary sense, such as are made so by men, and which seek concealment from some particular fear. Tac. Ann. i. 6. Sallustius Crispus particeps _secretorum_ . . . monuit Liviam, ne _arcana_ domus vulgarentur. (iv. 429.) ARCERE; PROHIBERE. +Arcere+ (#arkein#, from #erukein#) means to keep off and bar the entry, in opp. to _admittere_, Plin. H. N. xii. 1; on the other hand, +prohibere+ means to keep at a distance, and prevent the approach, in opp. to _adhibere_. The _arcens_ makes defensive opposition, like the _resistens_, and protects the threatened; but the _prohibens_ acts on the offensive, like the _propulsans_, and retaliates hostility on the assailant. (iv. 430.) ARCESSERE; ACCIRE; EVOCARE; ACCERSERE. 1. +Arcessere+ and +accersere+ denote, in the most general sense, merely, to send for; +accire+ supposes a co-ordinate relation in those that are sent for, as, to invite; +evocare+, a subordinate relation, as, to summon. The _arcessens_ asks, the _acciens_ entreats, the _evocans_ commands, a person to make his appearance. Cic. Att. v. 1. Tu invita mulieres, ego _accivero_ pueros: compare with Dejot. 5. Venit vel rogatus ut amicus, vel _arcessitus_ ut socius, vel _evocatus_ ut qui senatui parere didicisset. Or, Liv. x. 19. Collegæ auxilium, quod _acciendum_ ultro fuerit, with xliv. 31. _Evocati_ literis imperatoris. And xxix. 11. Æbutia _accita_ ad Sulpiciam venit; and 12. Ut Hispalam libertinam _arcesseret_ ad sese. 2. +Arcessere+ (from cedere) means, originally, to order to approach; on the other hand, +accersere+ (from #skairô#), to come quickly, or, to make haste; but both words have been confounded with each other, from similarity of sound. (iii. 283.) ARCTUS, see _Angustus_. ARDERE; FLAGRARE. +Ardere+ (from #ereuthein#) means to be in a visible glowing heat, like #aithein#; on the other hand, +flagrare+, to be in bright flames, like #phlegesthai#. Hence, metaphorically, +ardere+ is applied to a secret passion; +flagrare+, to a passion that bursts forth. Cic. Or. iii. 2, 8. Non vidit Crassus _flagrantem_ bello Italiam, non _ardentem_ invidia senatum. (iv. 21.) ARDUUS; DIFFICILIS. +Arduus+ (from #orthos#) means difficult to ascend, in opp. to _pronus_; on the other hand, +difficilis+ means difficult to execute, in opp. to _facilis_. +Arduus+ involves a stronger notion of difficulty, and denotes the difficult when it borders on the impossible. Plin. Ep. iv. 17. Est enim res _difficilis ardua_. Tac. Hist. ii. 76. Æstimare debent, an quod inchoatur, reipublicæ utile, ipsis gloriosum, aut promptum effectu, aut certe non _arduum_ sit. Cic. Verr. i. 51. Cum sibi omnes ad illum allegationes _difficiles_, omnes aditos _arduos_, ac pæne interclusos, viderent. (ii. 105.) ARDUUS, see _Altus_. ARENA, see _Sabulo_. ARGUERE; INCUSARE; CULPARE; CRIMINARI; INSIMULARE; DEFERRE; ACCUSARE. +Arguere+ (from #argos#) is the most general expression for any imputation of supposed or actual guilt, whether in a court of justice or not, as to tax or charge with; +incusare+, and the less frequent term +culpare+, denote only a complaint made out of a court of justice; +criminari+, an accusation with hostile or evil intention, in a calumnious spirit; +insimulare+, in an undeserved or slanderous manner, through suspicion; +deferre+, to impeach before a judge; +accusare+, to impeach in a criminal court. Cic. Lig. 4, 10. _Arguis_ fatentem. Non est satis. _Accusas_ eum. (ii. 163.) ARIDUS; TORRIDUS; SICCUS. +Aridus+ and +torridus+ denote an internal want of moisture; but things that are _arida_ (from areo) have lost their moisture from a heat acting within, like #auos#, in opp. to _humidus_. Plin. Pan. 30, 4; on the other hand, _torrida_ (from #tersô#), from a heat penetrating from without, in opp. to _uvidus_, like #sklêros#;--+siccus+ denotes dryness that is only external, confined to the surface, in opp. to _madidus_, like #xêros#. Plin. H. N. xii. 12. Ne sint fragilia et _arida_ potius quam _sicca_ folia. And xv. 29. Cato docuit vinum fieri ex nigra myrta _siccata_ usque in _ariditatem_ in umbra. Colum. vii. 4. (vi. 244.)

ARMUS; HUMERUS; ALA; AXILLA. +Armus+ (ramus?) is the highest part of the upper arm in men; the fore-leg in beasts; the shoulder-blade, as part of the whole body, distinguished from _scapula_, as part of the skeleton, like #ômos#; +humerus+, the flat surface, which in the human body is over the upper arm, the shoulder, like #epômis#; +ala+ and +axilla+, the cavity which is under the upper arm, the arm-pit, like #maschalê#. Ovid, Met. xii. 396. Ex _humeris_ medios coma dependebat in _armos_. And x. 599. xiv. 304. Plin. H. N. xi. 43. (iv. 27.) ARROGANTIA, see _Superbia_. ARTES, see _Literæ_. ARTIFEX, see _Faber_. ARTUS, see _Membrum_. ARUNDO, see _Culmus_. ARVUM, see _Villa_. ASCIA; SECURIS. +Ascia+ is the carpenter's axe, to split wood; +securis+, the butcher's cleaver, to cut meat. ASPER, see _Horridus_. ASPERNARI, see _Spernere_. ASSENTIRI; ASSENTARI; BLANDIRI; ADULARI. 1. +Assentiri+ means to assent from conviction, in opp. to _dissentire_; but +assentari+, to express assent, whether from conviction or from hypocrisy, in opp. to _adversari_. Vell. P. ii. 48. Cic. Rosc. Am. 16, 99. Plaut. Most. i. 3, 100. Amph. ii. 2, 70. 2. +Assentari+ denotes the flattery which shuns contradicting a person, like #thôpeuein#; +blandiri+ (#meldein#), that which says what is agreeable to another, like #areskeuein#; +adulari+ (from #doulos#), that which would please at the expense of self-degradation, like #kolakeuein#. The _assentans_, as a flatterer, would, by surrendering his right to an independent opinion; the _blandiens_, by complaisance and visible signs of affection; the _adulans_, by self-degradation, and signs of an unworthy subserviency, gain the favor of another. +Assentatio+, or the art of the assenter, has its origin in cowardice or weakness; +blanditiæ+, or fair-speaking, in the endeavor to be amiable, and, at worst, in self-interest; +adulatio+, or flattery, and servility, #kolakeia#, in a degrading, slavish, spaniel-like spirit. Sen. Ir. iii. 8. Magis adhuc proderunt submissi et humani et dulces, non tamen usque in _adulationem_; nam iracundos nimia _assentatio_ offendit. Erit certe amicus . . . . cui non magis tutum erat _blandiri_ quam maledicere. And ii. 28. Sæpe _adulatio_, dum _blanditur_, offendit. (ii. 174.) ASSEVERARE, see _Dicere_. ASSES, see _Axes_. ASSIDUITAS, see _Opera_. ASSEQUI, see _Invenire_. ASTRUM, see _Sidus_. ASTUTUS; CALLIDUS; VAFER; VERSUTUS. +Astutus+ or in old Latin +astus+ (from #akê#, acuere), and +callidus+, denote cunning, more in an intellectual sense, as a mark of cleverness; +astutus+, indeed, acuteness in the invention and execution of a secret project, synonymous with _solers_; but +callidus+ (from #kallos#), sharp-sightedness in judging of a complicated question of conduct, or worldly wisdom, as the consequence of a knowledge of mankind, and of intercourse with the world, synonymous with _rerum peritus_, as judicious, and, in its degenerate signification, crafty, like #kerdaleos#; on the other hand, +vafer+ and +versutus+ denote cunning in a moral sense, as a mark of dishonesty, and, indeed, +vafer+ (#huphê#), adroitness in introducing tricks, particularly in judicial affairs, as the tricks of a lawyer, like #panourgos#; +versutus+ (#artutos#), versatility in dissimulation, and in the art of getting out of a scrape by some means or other; in opp. to _simplex_, Cic. Fin. iv. 25, like #strophaios#. Plin. Ep. vii. 6. Juvenis ingeniosus, sed parum _callidus_. Cic. Brut. 48. _Callidus_, et in capiendo adversario _versutus_. (iii. 220.) ATER; NIGER; PULLUS. 1. +Ater+ (#aithos#) denotes black, as a negation of color, in opp. to _albus_; whereas +niger+ (#pnigoeis#) denotes black, as being itself a color, and indeed the darkest, in opp. to _candidus_. The _atrum_ makes only a dismal and dark impression; but the _nigrum_, a positive, and imposing and beautiful impression, as Hor. Carm. i. 32, 11. Lycum _nigris_ oculis, _nigroque_ crine decorum. Tac. G. 43. _Nigra_ scuta, tincta corpora; _atras_ ad proelia noctes legunt. (iii. 194.) 2. +Ater+ and +niger+ denote a deep dark black; whereas +pullus+ only swarthy, with reference to the affinity of the dark color to dirt. (iii. 207.) ATQUE, see _Et_. ATROX; TRUX; TRUCULENTUS; DIRUS; SÆVUS; TORVUS. 1. +Atrox+, +trux+, and +truculentus+, (from #trêchus#, #taraxai#), denote that which has an exterior exciting fear; that which makes an impression of terror on the fancy, and eye, and ear; +atrox+, indeed, as a property of things, but +trux+ and +truculentus+ as properties of persons; whereas +dirus+ and +sævus+ mean that which is really an object of fear, and threatens danger; +dirus+, indeed (from #deos#), according to its own nature, as a property of things, means dreadful, #deinos#; but +sævus+ (from #ai#, heu!) according to the character of the person, as a property of living beings, means blood-thirsty, cruel, #ainos#. Plin. Pan. 53. _Atrocissima_ effigies _sævissimi_ domini. Mela ii. 7. Ionium pelagus . . . _atrox_, _sævum_; that is, looking dangerous, and often enough also bringing misfortune. 2. +Trux+ denotes dreadfulness of look, of the voice, and so forth, in the tragic or heroic sense, as a mark of a wild disposition or of a cruel purpose; but +truculentus+, in the ordinary and comic sense, as a mark of ill-humor or trivial passion; the slave in Plautus is _truculentus_; the wrathful Achilles is _trux_. Sometimes, however, _truculentior_ and _truculentissimus_ serve as the comparative and superlative of _trux_. 3. +Trux+ and +truculentus vultus+ is a terrific, angry look, like #trachus#; +torvus+, merely a stern, sharp, and wild look, as #toron#, or #taurêdon blepein#. Plin. H. N. xi. 54. Contuitu quoque multiformes; _truces_, _torvi_, flagrantes. Quintil. vi. 1. 43. (i. 40.) ATTONITUS; STUPENS. +Attonitus+, thunderstruck, denotes a momentary, +stupens+ (#taphein#) a petrified, a lasting condition. Curt. viii. 2, 3. _Attoniti_, et _stupentibus_ similes. Flor. ii. 12. (vi. 31.) AUDERE; CONARI; MOLIRI. +Audere+ denotes an enterprise with reference to its danger, and the courage of him who undertakes it, whereas +conari+ (from incohare), with reference to the importance of the enterprise, and the energy of him who undertakes it; lastly, +moliri+, with reference to the difficulty of the enterprise, and the exertion required of him who undertakes it. (iii. 295.) AUDENTIA, AUDACIA, see _Fides_. AUDIRE; AUSCULTARE. +Audire+ (from _ausis_, _auris_, #ouas#) means to hear, #akouein#, as a mere passive sensation, like _olfacere_; on the other hand, +auscultare+ (from auricula), to hearken, #akroasthai#, that is, to wish to hear, and to hear attentively, whether secretly or openly, by an act of the will, like _odorari_. Ter. And. iv. 5, 45. Æsch. Pater, obsecro, _ausculta_. Mic. Æschine, _audivi_ omnia. Cato ap. Gell. i. 15. Pacuv. ap. Cic. Div. i. 57. (iii. 293.) AUFERRE, see _Demere_. AUGURIA; AUSPICIA; PRODIGIA; OSTENTA; PORTENTA; MONSTRA; OMINA. +Auguria+ and +auspicia+ are appearances in the ordinary course of nature, which for the most part possess a meaning for those only who are skilful in the interpretation of signs; +auguria+ (from augur, #augazein#) for the members of the college of augurs, who are skilled in such things; +auspicia+, for the magistrates, who have the right to take auspices: whereas +prodigia+, +ostenta+, +portenta+, +monstra+, are appearances out of the ordinary course of nature, which strike the common people, and only receive a more exact interpretation from the soothsayer: lastly, +omina+ (#othmata#, #ossai#) are signs which any person, to whom they occur, can interpret for himself, without assistance. The primary notion in +prodigium+ is, that the appearance is replete with meaning, and pregnant with consequences; in +ostentum+, that it excites wonder, and is great in its nature: in +portentum+, that it excites terror, and threatens danger; in +monstrum+, that it is unnatural and ugly. (v. 178.) AURA, see _Anima_. AUSCULTARE, see _Audire_. AUSPICIA, see _Auguria_. AUSTERUS; SEVERUS; DIFFICILIS; MOROSUS; TETRICUS. 1. +Austerus+ (#austêros#, from #auô#) denotes gravity as an intellectual, +severus+ (#auêros#) as a moral quality. The _austerus_ in opp. to _jucundus_, Plin. H. N. xxxiv. 8. xxxv. 11, is an enemy to jocularity and frivolity, and seeks in science, learning, and social intercourse, always that which is serious and real, at the risk of passing for dull; the _severus_, in opp. to _luxuriosus_, Quintil. xi. 3, 74, is rigid, hates all dissoluteness and laxity of principle, and exacts from himself and others self-control and energy of character, at the risk of passing for harsh. The stoic, as a philosopher, is _austerus_, as a man, _severus_. 2. +Austerus+ and +severus+ involve no blame; whereas +difficilis+, +morosus+, and +tetricus+, denote an excess or degeneracy of rigor. The _difficilis_ understands not the art of easy and agreeable converse, from hypochondria and temperament; the _morosus_ (from mos) is scrupulous, and wishes everything to be done according to rule, from scrupulosity and want of tolerance; the _tetricus_ (redupl. of trux, #trachus#) is stiff and constrained, from pedantry and want of temper. (iii. 232.) AUTUMARE, see _Censere_. AUXILIUM; OPEM FERRE; OPITULARI; JUVARE; ADJUVARE. 1. +Auxilium+, +opem ferre+, and +opitulari+, suppose a person in a strait, whom one would rescue from necessity and danger, in opp. to _deserere_, _destituere_, and so forth; the _auxilium ferens_ is to be considered as an ally, who makes himself subservient to the personal safety, or to the interest of him who is in a strait; the _opem ferens_, as a benefactor, who employs his power and strength for the benefit of the weak; whereas +juvare+ and +adjuvare+ (#iasthai#) suppose only a person striving to do something, which he may be enabled to do better and quicker by help, in opp. to _impedire_, Cic. Verr. i. 6. Ter. Heaut. v. 2, 39. Matres solent esse filiis in peccato _adjutrices_, _auxilio_ in paterna injuria. When in Liv. ii. 6, Tarquin entreats the Veientes, _ferrent opem_, _adjuvarent_, he is first considered as exulans, then as regnum repetiturus. 2. +Opem+ and +auxilium ferre+ derive their emphasis from the noun, to bring help, and nothing else; whereas +opitulari+, and the poetical word, +auxiliari+, derive their emphasis from their verbal form, and mean to bring help, and not to refuse. (v. 70.) AVE; SALVE; VALE. +Ave+ (from #eu#) is a salutation used at meeting and at parting, like #chaire#; whereas +salve+ is used at meeting only, +vale+ at parting, like #errhôso#. Suet. Galb. 4. Ut liberti mane _salvere_, vespere _valere_ sibi singuli dicerent. (i. 28.) AVES, see _Volucres_. AVIDUS, see _Velle_.

BIBERE; POTARE. +Bibere+ (reduplic. of bua) means to drink like a human being, #pinein#; whereas +potare+ (from #potos#) to drink like a beast, and, metaphorically, to tipple, #span#. Sen. Ep. 122. Inter nudos _bibunt_, imo _potant_. Plaut. Curc. i. 1, 88. Agite, _bibite_, festivæ fores, _potate_, fite mihi volentes propitiæ. (1. 149.) BIFARIAM, see _Duplex_. BILIS, see _Fel_. BLÆSUS, see _Balbus_. BLANDIRI, see _Assentiri_. BLATIRE, BLATERARE, see _Garrire_. BONI CONSULERE, see _Satis habere_.

Quintil. vi. 4, 11. Non est altercandi ars . . . res animi jacentis et mollis supra modum frontis, fallitque plerumque quod _probitas_ vocatur, quæ est imbecillitas. Dic. Dejot. 10. _Frugi_ hominem dici non multum laudis habet in rege. Quintil. i. 6, 29. 2. Whereas +honestus+ and +sanctus+ denote a higher degree of morality, which, from higher motives, rises above the standard of ordinary men, and what is called social morality; +honestus+, as an honorable and chivalrous spirit and demeanor, derived from a principle of honor and distinction, in opp. to _turpis_; +sanctus+, as a saintly and holy spirit, derived from a principle of piety.

CALAMITAS, see _Infortunium_. CALAMUS, see _Culmus_. CALCULUS, see _Saxum_.

(v. 294.) CASUS; FORS; FORTUNA; FORS FORTUNA; FATUM. 1. +Casus+ denotes chance as an inanimate natural agent, which is not the consequence of human calculation, or of known causes, like #sumphora#; whereas +fors+ denotes the same chance as a sort of mythological being, which, without aim or butt, to sport as it were with mortals, and baffle their calculations, influences human affairs, like #tuchê#. 2. +Fors+, as a mythological being, is this chance considered as blind fortune; whereas +Fortuna+ is fortune, not considered as blind, and without aim, but as taking a part in the course of human affairs from personal favor or disaffection; lastly, +fors fortuna+ means a lucky chance, #agathê tuchê#. 3. All these beings form an opposition against the +Dii+ and +Fatum+, which do not bring about or prevent events from caprice or arbitrary will, but according to higher laws; and the gods, indeed, according to the intelligible laws of morality, according to merit and worth, right and equity; +fatum+, according to the mysterious laws by which the universe is eternally governed, like #heimarmenê#, #moira#.

Curt. vi. 9; whereas +occulere+, +occultare+, have a concrete and material reference to their object, like #kruptein#, in opp. to _aperire_, synonymously with +obtegere+; Cic. Acad. iv. 19. N. D. ii. 20. Fin. i. 9, 30. Att. v. 15: the _celanda_ remain secret, unless they happen to be discovered; but the _occultanda_ would be exposed to sight, unless particular circumspection and precaution were used. 2. In the same manner +clam+ and +clanculum+ denote secretly, in opp. to _palam_, Cic. Rosc. Am. 8; whereas +occulte+, in opp. to _aperte_, Cic. Rull. i. 1. 3. +Occulere+ denotes any concealment; +occultare+, a careful or very anxious concealment, and on this account finds no place in negative propositions, or as seldom, for example, as _redolere_. 4. +Occultare+ means to prevent anything being seen, by keeping it covered; whereas +abdere+, +condere+, and +abscondere+, by removing the thing itself; +abdere+ (#apotheinai#) by laying it aside, and putting it away, like #apokruptein#; +condere+ (#katatheinai#), by depositing it in a proper place of safety, like #katakruptein#; +recondere+, by hiding it carefully and thoroughly; +abscondere+, by putting it away, and preserving it.

CELEBER; INCLYTUS; CLARUS; ILLUSTRIS; NOBILIS. +Celeber+ (from #kleos#) and +inclytus+ (from #klutos#) denote celebrity, as general expressions, chiefly as belonging to things, and seldom as belonging to persons, except in poetry; +clarus+, +illustris+, and +nobilis+, with an especial political reference; +clarus+ (#galêros#) means renowned for eminent services to one's country; +illustris+ (from #analeussô#) renowned for rank and virtue; +nobilis+ (from novisse) belonging to a family whose members have already been invested with the honors of the state.

Cic. Orat. i. 23. Mur. 30. Tusc. iv. 7. Rosc. Am. 10; +putare+, as one who casts up an account; +reri+ as a poetical, and +autumare+ as an antiquated term. 2. +Æstimare+ denotes passing judgment under the form of the political function of an actual taxer, to estimate anything exactly, or according to its real value, or price in money; but +existimare+, as a moral function, to estimate anything according to its worth or truth; hence Cicero contrasts _existimatio_, not _æstimatio_, as a private opinion, with competent judgment, _judicio_; Cluent. 29. Verr. v. 68. 3. +Censere+ denotes judgment and belief, as grounded upon one's own reflection and conviction; +credere+, as grounded on the credit which is given to the testimony of others. 4. +Opinor+, parenthetically, implies modesty, like #oimai#; whereas +credo+ implies irony, like #hôs eoiken#, sometimes in propositions that are self-evident, whereby the irony reaches the ears of those to whom the truth could not be plainly spoken or repeated, or who might be inclined to doubt it; sometimes, in absurd propositions which a man thinks fit to put in the mouth of another; sometimes, in propositions so evident as scarcely to admit of controversy.

COGITARE; MEDITARI; COMMENTARI. 1. +Cogitare+ (from the Goth. hugjan) denotes the usual activity of the mind, which cannot exist without thinking, or employing itself about something; +meditari+ (from #medesthai#), the continued and intense activity of the mind, which aims at a definite result. Ter. Heaut. iii. 3, 46. Quid nunc facere _cogitas_? Compare this with Adelph. v. 6, 8. _Meditor_ esse affabilis. Cic. Cat. i. 9, 22. In Tusc. iii. 6, +cogitatio+ means little more than consciousness; whereas +meditatio+ means speculative reflection. 2. +Meditari+ has an intensive meaning, with earnestness, exertion, and vivacity; +commentari+ (only in Cicero) means to reflect leisurely, quietly, and profoundly.

Quintil. xii. 10, 47. _Comere_ caput in gradus et annulos; compare with Tibull. iii. 2, 6. Sertis _decorare_ comas; and Virg. Ecl. vi. 69. Apio crines _ornatus_ amaro. (iii. 261.)

The sublime thought of that which is without beginning and end, lies only in +æternus+, not in +sempiternus+, for the latter word rather suggests the long duration between beginning and end, without noting that eternity _has_ neither beginning nor end. +Sempiternus+ involves the mathematical, +æternus+ the metaphysical notion of eternity. Cic. Orat. ii. 40, 169. Barbarorum est in diem vivere; nostra consilia _sempiternum_ tempus spectare debent; compare with Fin. i. 6, 17.

Clem. i. 10. _Contumelias_, quæ acerbiores principibus solent esse quam _injuriæ_. Pacuv. Non. Patior facile _injuriam_, si vacua est _contumelia_. Phædr. Fab. v. 3, 5. Cic. Quint. 30, 96.

Plin. Pan. 6, 2. Corrupta est disciplina castrorum, ut tu _corrector emendator_que contingeres; the former by strictness, the latter by wisdom. Cic. Mur. 29.

And, Corpora _gignuntur_, poemata _generantur_. Cic. N. D. iii. 16. Herculem Jupiter _genuit_, is a mythological notice; but Legg. i. 9. Deus hominem _generavit_, is a metaphysical axiom. (v. 201.) CREBRO, see _Sæpe_. CREDERE, see _Censere_ and _Fidere_. CREMARE, see _Accendere_. CREPITUS, see _Fragor_. CREPUSCULUM, see _Mane_. CRIMINARI, see _Arguere_. CRINIS; CAPILLUS; COMA; CÆSARIES; PILUS; CIRRUS; CINCINNUS. 1. +Crinis+ and +capillus+ denote the natural hair merely in a physical sense, like #thrix#; +crinis+ (from #karênon#), any growth of hair, in opposition to the parts on which hair does not grow; +capillus+ (from caput), only the hair of the head, in opp. to the beard, etc. Liv. vi. 16. Suet. Aug. 23. Cels. vi. 2. Cic. Tusc. v. 20. Rull. ii. 5; whereas in +coma+ and +cæsaries+ the accessory notion of beauty, as an object of sense, is involved, inasmuch as hair is a natural ornament of the body, or itself the object of ornament; +coma+ (#komê#) is especially applicable to the hair of females; +cæsaries+, to that of males, like #etheira#. Hence +crinitus+ means nothing more than covered with hair; +capillatus+ is used in opp. to bald-headed, Petron. 26, and the Galli are styled _comati_, as wearing long hair, like #karêkomoôntes#. 2. +Crinis+, +capillus+, +coma+, +cæsaries+, denote the hair in a collective sense, the whole growth of hair; whereas +pilus+ means a single hair, and especially the short and bristly hair of animals. Hence +pilosus+ is in opp. to the beautiful smoothness of the skin, as Cic. Pis. I; whereas +crinitus+ and +capillatus+ are in opp. to ugly nakedness and baldness. (iii. 14.) 3. +Cirrus+ and +cincinnus+ denote curled hair; +cirrus+ (#korrhê#) is a natural, +cincinnus+ (#kikinnos#) an artificial curl. (iii. 23.) CRUCIATUS; TORMENTUM. +Cruciatus+, +crucimenta+ (#kroka#, #krekô#), denote in general any pangs, natural and artificial; +tormenta+ (from torquere), especially pangs caused by an instrument of torture, like the rack. Cic. Phil. xi. 4. Nec vero graviora sunt carnificum _tormenta_ quam interdum _cruciamenta_ morborum. (vi. 87.) CRUDELITAS, see _Sævitia_. CRUENTUS, CRUOR, see _Sanguis_. CUBARE; JACERE; SITUM ESSE. +Cubare+ (from #keiô#) denotes the lying down of living beings; +situm esse+ (#heton#, #heisai#) of lifeless things; +jacere+, of both. +Cubare+ and +jacere+ are neuter; +situm esse+, always passive. Further, +cubare+ gives the image of one who is tired, who wishes to recruit his strength, in opp. to standing, as requiring exertion, whereas +jacere+ gives the image of one who is weak, without any accessory notion, in opp. to standing, as a sign of strength. (i. 138.) CUBICULUM, see _Conclave_. CUBILE; LECTUS. +Cubile+ is a natural couch for men and animals, a place of rest, like #koitê#, #eunê#; +lectus+, an artificial couch, merely for men, a bed, like #lektron#. (v. 279.) CUBITUS, see _Ulna_. CUDERE, see _Verberare_. CUDO, see _Cassis_. CULCITA; PULVINUS; PULVINAR. +Culcita+ (from calcare?) is a hard-stuffed pillow; +pulvinus+ and +pulvinar+, a soft elastic pillow; +pulvinus+, such as is used on ordinary civil occasions; +pulvinar+, such as is used on solemn religious occasions. (vi. 89.) CULMEN; FASTIGIUM. +Culmen+ means the top, the uppermost line of the roof; +fastigium+, the summit, the highest point of this top, where the spars of the roof by sloping and meeting form an angle; therefore +fastigium+ is a part of +culmen+. Virg. Æn. ii. 458. Evado ad summi _fastigia culminis_. Liv. xl. 2. Vitruv. iv. 2. Arnob. ii. 12. And figuratively +culmen+ denotes the top only, with a local reference, as the uppermost and highest point, something like #kolophôn#; but +fastigium+ with reference to rank, as the principal and most imposing point of position, something like #koruphê#; therefore +culmen tecti+ is only that which closes the building, but +fastigium+ that which crowns it; and +fastigium+ also denotes a throne, whence _culmina montium_ is a much more usual term than _fastigia_. (ii. 111.) CULMUS; CALAMUS; STIPULA; SPICA; ARISTA; ARUNDO; CANNA. 1. +Culmus+ means the stalk, with reference to its slender height, especially of corn; +calamus+ (#kalamos#) with reference to its hollowness, especially of reeds. 2. +Culmus+ means the stalk of corn, as bearing the ear, as the body the head, as an integral part of the whole; +stipula+, as being compared with the ear, a worthless and useless part of the whole, as stubble. 3. +Spica+ is the full ear, the fruit of the corn-stalk, without respect to its shape, +arista+, the prickly ear, the tip or uppermost part of the stalk, without respect to its substance, sometimes merely the prickles. Quintil. i. 3, 5. Imitatæ _spicas_ herbulæ inanibus _aristis_ ante messem flavescunt. 4. +Calamus+, as a reed, is the general term; +arundo+ (from #rhodanos#) is a longer and stronger reed; +canna+ (from #kanôn#?) a smaller and thinner reed. Colum. iv. 32. Ea est _arundineti_ senectus, cum ita densatum est, ut gracilis et _cannæ_ similis _arundo_ prodeat. (v. 219.) CULPA; NOXIA; NOXIUS; NOCENS; SONS. 1. +Culpa+ (#kolapsai#) denotes guilt as the state of one who has to answer for an injury, peccatum, delictum, maleficium, scelus, flagitium, or nefas; hence a responsibility, and, consequently, a rational being is supposed, in opp. to _casus_, Cic. Att. xi. 9. Vell. P. ii. 118, or to _necessitas_, Suet. Cl. 15; whereas +noxia+, as the state of one who has caused an injury, and can therefore be applied to any that is capable of producing an effect, in opp. to _innocentia_. Liv. iii. 42, 2. Illa modo in ducibus _culpa_, quod ut odio essent civibus fecerant; alia omnis penes milites _noxia_ erat. Cic. Marc. 13. Etsi aliqua _culpa_ tenemur erroris humani, a scelere certe liberati sumus; and Ovid, Trist. iv. 1, 23. Et _culpam_ in facto, non scelus esse meo, coll. 4, 37; hence +culpa+ is used as a general expression for every kind of fault, and especially for a fault of the lighter sort, as delictum. 2. +Culpa+ and +noxia+ suppose an injurious action; but +vitium+ (from #auatê#, #atê#) merely an action or quality deserving censure, and also an undeserved natural defect. 3. +Nocens+, +innocens+, denote guilt, or absence of guilt, in a specified case, with regard to a single action; but +noxius+, +innoxius+, together with the poetical words +nocuus+, +innocuus+, relate to the nature and character in general. Plaut. Capt. iii. 5, 7. Decet _innocentem_ servum atque _innoxium_ confidentem esse; that is, a servant who knows himself guiltless of some particular action, and who, in general, does nothing wrong. 4. +Noxius+ denotes a guilty person only physically, as the author and cause of an injury, like #blaberos#; but +sons+ (#onotos#) morally and juridically, as one condemned, or worthy of condemnation, like #thôos#. (ii. 152.) [**error for ontos?] CULPARE, see _Arguere_. CULTUS, see _Vestis_. CUMULUS, see _Acervus_. CUNÆ; CUNABULA. +Cunæ+ (#koitai#) is the cradle itself; +incunabula+, the bed, etc., that are in the cradle. Plaut. Truc. v. 13. Fasciis opus est, pulvinis, _cunis_, _incunabulis_. (vi. 69.) CUNCTARI; HÆSITARE; CESSARE. +Cunctari+ (from #xunekein#, or #katechein#), means to delay from consideration, like #mellein#; +hæsitare+, from want of resolution; +cessare+ (#kathizein#?) from want of strength and energy, like #oknein#. The _cunctans_ delays to begin an action; the _cessans_, to go on with an action already begun. (iii. 300.) CUNCTI, see _Quisque_. CUPERE, see _Velle_. CUPIDO; CUPIDITAS; LIBIDO; VOLUPTAS. 1. +Cupido+ is the desire after something, considered actively, and as in action, in opp. to aversion; whereas +cupiditas+ is the passion of desire, considered neutrally, as a state of mind, in opp. to tranquillity of mind. +Cupido+ must necessarily, +cupiditas+ may be, in construction with a genitive, expressed or understood; in this case, +cupido+ relates especially to possession and money, +cupiditas+, to goods of every kind. Vell. P. ii. 33. Pecuniæ _cupidine_: and further on, Interminatam imperii _cupiditatem_. 2. +Cupido+ and +cupiditas+ stand in opp. to temperate wishes; +libido+ (from #lips#) the intemperate desire and capricious longing after something, in opp. to rational will, _ratio_, Suet. Aug. 69, or _voluntas_, Cic. Fam. ix. 16. +Libidines+ are lusts, with reference to the want of self-government; +voluptates+, pleasures, in opp. to serious employments, or to pains. Tac. H. ii. 31. Minus Vitellii ignavæ _voluptates_ quam Othonis flagrantissimæ _libidines_ timebantur. (v. 60.) CUR; QUARE. +Cur+ (from quare? or #kôs?#) serves both for actual questions, and for interrogative forms of speech; whereas +quare+ serves for those questions only, to which we expect an answer. (vi. 93.) CURA; SOLLICITUDO; ANGOR; DOLOR; ÆGRITUDO. +Cura+, +sollicitudo+, and +angor+, mean the disturbance of the mind with reference to a future evil and danger; +cura+ (from the antiquated word _coera_, from #koiranos#) as thoughtfulness, uneasiness, apprehension, in opp. to _incuria_, like #phrontis#; +sollicitudo+, as sensitiveness, discomposure, anxiety, in opp. to _securitas_, Tac. H. iv. 58, like #merimna#; +angor+ (from #anchô#) as a passion, anguish, fear, in opp. to _solutus animus_; whereas +dolor+ and +ægritudo+ relate to a present evil; +dolor+ (from #thlan#?) as a hardship or pain, in opp. to _gaudium_, #algos#; +ægritudo+, as a sickness of the soul, like #ania#, in opp. to _alacritas_. Cic. Tusc. v. 16. Cic. Fin. i. 22. Nec præterea res ulla est, quæ sua natura aut _sollicitare_ possit aut _angere_. Accius apud Non. Ubi _cura_ est, ibi _anxitudo_. Plin. Ep. ii. 11. Cæsar mihi tantum studium, tantam etiam _curam_--nimium est enim dicere _sollicitudinem_--præstitit, ut, etc. Quintil. viii. pr. 20. _Curam_ ego verborum, rerum volo esse _sollicitudinem_. (iv. 419.) CURTUS, see _Brevis_. CURVUS; UNCUS; PANDUS; INCURVUS; RECURVUS; REDUNCUS; REPANDUS; ADUNCUS. 1. +Curvus+, or in prose mostly +curvatus+, denotes, as a general expression, all crookedness, from a slight degree of crookedness to a complete circle; +uncus+ supposes a great degree of crookedness, approaching to a semi-circle, like the form of a hook; +pandus+, a slight crookedness, deviating but a little from a straight line, like that which slopes. 2. The +curva+ form a continued crooked line; the +incurva+ suppose a straight line ending in a curve, like #epikampês#, the augur's staff, for example, or the form of a man who stoops, etc. 3. +Recurvus+, +reduncus+, and +repandus+, denote that which is bent outwards; +aduncus+, that which is bent inwards. Plin. H. N. xi. 37. Cornua aliis _adunca_, aliis _redunca_. (v. 184.) CUSPIS, see _Acies_. CUSTODIA; CARCER; ERGASTULUM. +Custodia+ (from #keuthô#) is the place where prisoners are confined, or the prison; +carcer+ (#karkaron#, redupl. of #karis#, circus), that part of the prison that is meant for citizens; +ergastulum+ (from #ergazomai#, or #eirgô#), the house of correction for slaves. CUTIS, see _Tergus_. CYATHUS, see _Poculum_. CYMBA, see _Navigium_. D. DAMNUM; DETRIMENTUM; JACTURA. +Damnum+ (#dapanê#) is a loss incurred by one's self, in opp. to _lucrum_. Plaut. Cist. i. 1, 52. Capt. ii. 2, 77. Ter. Heaut. iv. 4, 25. Cic. Fin. v. 30. Sen. Ben. iv. 1. Tranq. 15; whereas +detrimentum+ (from detrivisse) means a loss endured, in opp. to _emolumentum_. Cic. Fin. i. 16. iii. 29; lastly, +jactura+ is a voluntary loss, by means of which one hopes to escape a greater loss or evil, a sacrifice. Hence +damnum+ is used for a fine; and in the form, Videant Coss., ne quid resp. _detrimenti_ capiat, the word _damnum_ could never be substituted for _detrimentum_. (v. 251.) DAPES, see _Epulæ_. DEAMARE, see _Diligere_. DEAMBULARE, see _Ambulare_. DEBERE, see _Necesse est_. DECERNERE, see _Destinare_. DECIPERE, see _Fallere_. DECLARARE, see _Ostendere_. DECORARE, see _Comere_. DEDECUS, see _Ignominia_. DEDICARE, see _Sacrare_. DEDUCERE, see _Comitari_. DEESSE, see _Abesse_. DEFENDERE, see _Tueri_. DEFERRE, see _Arguere_. DEFICERE, see _Abesse_ and _Turbæ_. DEFLERE, see _Lacrimare_. DEFORMIS, see _Tæter_. [[redirects to _Teter_]] DEGERE, see _Agere_. DE INTEGRO, see _Iterum_. DELECTATIO, see _Oblectatio_. DELERE, see _Abolere_. DELIBUTUS; UNCTUS; OBLITUS. +Delibutus+ (from #leibein#, #libazein#), besmeared with something greasy, is the general expression; +unctus+ (from #hugros#? or #nêchein#?) means anointed with a pleasant ointment; and +oblitus+ (from oblino), besmeared with something impure. (vi. 98.) DELICTUM; PECCATUM; MALEFACTUM; MALEFICIUM; FACINUS; FLAGITIUM; SCELUS; NEFAS; IMPIETAS. 1. +Delictum+ and +peccatum+ denote the lighter sort of offences; +delictum+, more the transgression of positive laws, from levity; +peccatum+ (from #pachus#), rather of the laws of nature and reason, from indiscretion. 2. A synonyme and as it were a circumlocution of the above words is +malefactum+; whereas +maleficium+ and +facinus+ involve a direct moral reference; +maleficium+ is any misdeed which, as springing from evil intention, deserves punishment; but +facinus+, a crime which, in addition to the evil intention, excites astonishment and alarm from the extraordinary degree of daring requisite thereto. 3. There are as many sorts of evil deeds, as there are of duties, against oneself, against others, against the gods; +flagitium+ (from #blagis#) is an offence against oneself, against one's own honor, by gluttony, licentiousness, cowardice; in short, by actions which are not the consequence of unbridled strength, but of moral weakness, as evincing _ignavia_, and incurring shame; whereas +scelus+ (#sklêron#) is an offence against others, against the right of individuals, or the peace of society, by robbery, murder, and particularly by sedition, by the display, in short, of malice; +nefas+ (#aphaton#) is an offence against the gods, or against nature, by blasphemy, sacrilege, murder of kindred, betrayal of one's country; in short, by the display of _impietas_, an impious outrage. Tac. G. 12. (ii. 139.) DELIGERE; ELIGERE. +Deligere+ means to choose, in the sense of not remaining undecided in one's choice; +eligere+, to choose, in the sense of not taking the first thing that comes. (v. 98.)

DEMERE; ADIMERE; EXIMERE; AUFERRE; ERIPERE; SURRIPERE; FURARI. 1. +Demere+, +adimere+, and +eximere+, denote a taking away without force or fraud; +demere+ (from de-imere) means to take away a part from a whole, which thereby becomes less, in opp. to _addere_, or _adjicere_. Cic. Orat. ii. 25. Fam. i. 7. Acad. iv. 16. Cels. i. 3. Liv. ii. 60; +adimere+, to take away a possession from its possessor, who thereby becomes _poorer_, in opp. to _dare_ and _reddere_. Cic. Verr. i. 52. Fam. viii. 10. Phil. xi. 8. Suet. Aug. 48. Tac. Ann. xiii. 56; +eximere+, to remove an evil from a person oppressed by it, whereby he feels himself lightened. 2. +Auferre+, +eripere+, +surripere+, and +furari+, involve the notion of an illegal and unjust taking away; +auferre+, as a general expression for taking away anything; +eripere+, by force to snatch away; +surripere+ and +furari+, secretly and by cunning; but +surripere+ may be used for taking away privily, even when just and prudent self-defence may be pleaded as the motive; whereas +furari+ (#phôran#, #pherô#) is only applicable to the mean handicraft of the thief. Sen. Prov. 5. Quid opus fuit _auferre_? accipere potuistis; sed ne nunc quidem _auferetis_, quia nihil _eripitu_ nisi retinenti. Cic. Verr. i. 4, 60. Si quis clam _surripiat_ aut _eripiat_ palam atque _auferat_: and ii. 1, 3. Non _furem_ sed _ereptorem_. (iv. 123.) DEMOLIRI, see _Destruere_. DEMORI, see _Mors_. DENEGARE, see _Negare_. DENSUS, see _Angustus_. DENUO, see _Iterum_. DEPLORARE, see _Lacrimare_. DEPRAVARE; CORRUMPERE. +Depravare+ denotes to make anything relatively worse, provided it is still susceptible of amendment, as being merely perverted from its proper use; whereas +corrumpere+ denotes to make anything absolutely bad and useless, so that it is not susceptible of amendment, as being completely spoilt. (v. 321.) DERIDERE, see _Ridere_. DESCISCERE, see _Turbæ_. DESERERE, see _Relinquere_. DESERTUM, see _Solitudo_. DESIDERARE, see _Requirere_. DESIDIA, see _Ignavia_. DESINERE; DESISTERE. +Desinere+ denotes only a condition in reference to persons, things, and actions, as, to cease; whereas +desistere+, an act of the will, of which persons only are capable, as to desist. (iii. 101.) DESOLATUS, see _Relinquere_. DESPERANS, see _Exspes_. DESPICERE, see _Spernere_. DESTINARE; OBSTINARE; DECERNERE; STATUERE; CONSTITUERE. 1. +Destinare+ and +obstinare+ denote forming a resolution as a psychological, whereas +decernere+ and +statuere+ as a political, act. 2. +Destinare+ means to form a decided resolution, by which a thing is set at rest; +obstinare+, to form an unalterable resolution, whereby a man perseveres with obstinacy and doggedness. 3. +Decernere+ denotes the final result of a formal consultation, or, at least, of a deliberation approaching the nature and seriousness of a collegial discussion; +statuere+, to settle the termination of an uncertain state, and +constituere+ is the word employed, if the subject or object of the transaction is a multitude. Cic. Fr. Tull. Hoc judicium sic expectatur, ut non unæ rei _statui_, sed omnibus _constitui_ putetur. (iv. 178.) DESTINATIO, see _Pervicacia_. DESTITUERE, see _Relinquere_. DESTRUERE; DEMOLIRI. +Destruere+ means to pull down an artificially constructed, +demoliri+, a solid, building. (vi. 2.) DETERIOR; PEJOR. +Deterior+ (a double comparative from de) means, like #cheirôn#, that which has degenerated from a good state, that which has become less worthy; whereas +pejor+ (from #pezos#), like #kakiôn#, that which has fallen from bad to worse, that which is more evil than it was. Hence Sallust. Or. Phil. 3. Æmilius omnium flagitiorum postremus, qui _pejor_ an ignavior sit deliberari non potest:--in this passage _deterior_ would form no antithesis to _ignavior_. The _deterrimi_ are the objects of contempt, the _pessimi_ of abhorrence; Catullus employs the expression _pessimas puellas_, 'the worst of girls,' in a jocular sense, in a passage where this expression has a peculiar force; whereas _deterrimus_ could, under no circumstances, be employed as a jocular expression, any more than the words _wretched_, _depraved_. (i. 53.) DETESTARI, see _Abominari_. DETINERE, see _Manere_. DETRECTATIO, see _Invidia_. DETRIMENTUM, see _Damnum_. DEUS, see _Numen_.

(vi. 101.) DEVINCIRE, see _Ligare_. DICARE, see _Sacrare_. DICERE; AIO; INQUAM; ASSEVERARE; AFFIRMARE; CONTENDERE; FARI; FABULARI. 1. +Dicere+ denotes to say, as conveying information, in reference to the hearer, in opp. to _tacere_, like the neutral word _loqui_. Cic. Rull. ii. 1. Ver. ii. 1, 71, 86. Plin. Ep. iv. 20. vii. 6, like #legein#; but +aio+ expresses an affirmation, with reference to the speaker, in opp. to _nego_. Cic. Off. iii. 23. Plaut. Rud. ii. 4, 14. Terent. Eun. ii. 2, 21, like #phanai#. 2. +Ait+ is in construction with an indirect form of speech, and therefore generally governs an infinitive; whereas +inquit+ is in construction with a direct form of speech, and therefore admits an indicative, imperative, or conjunctive. 3. +Aio+ denotes the simple affirmation of a proposition by merely expressing it, whereas +asseverare+, +affirmare+, +contendere+, denote an emphatic affirmation; +asseverare+ is to affirm in earnest, in opp. to a jocular, or even light affirmation, _jocari_. Cic. Brut. 85; +affirmare+, to affirm as certain, in opp. to doubts and rumors, _dubitare_, Divin. ii. 3, 8; +contendere+, to affirm against contradiction, and to maintain one's opinion, in opp. to yielding it up, or renouncing it. 4. +Dicere+ (#deixai#) denotes to say, without any accessory notion, whereas +loqui+ (#lakein#), as a transitive verb, with the contemptuous accessory notion that that which is said is mere idle talk. Cic. Att. xiv. 4. Horribile est quæ _loquantur_, quæ minitentur. 5. +Loqui+ denotes speaking in general; +fabulari+, a good-humored, or, at least, pleasant mode of speaking, to pass away the time, in which no heed is taken of the substance and import of what is said, like #lalein#; lastly, +dicere+, as a neuter verb, denotes a speech prepared according to the rules of art, a studied speech, particularly from the rostrum, like #legein#. Liv. xlv. 39. Tu, centurio, miles, quid de imperatore Paulo senatus decreverit potius quam quid Sergio Galba _fabuletur_ audi, et hoc _dicere_ me potius quam illum audi; ille nihil præterquam _loqui_, et id ipsum maledice et maligne _didicit_. Cic. Brut. 58. Scipio sane mihi bene et _loqui_ videtur et _dicere_. Orat. iii. 10. Neque enim conamur docere eum _dicere_ qui _loqui_ nesciat. Orat. 32. Muren. 34, 71. Suet. Cl. 4. Qui tam #asaphôs# _loquatur_, qui possit quum declamat #saphôs# _dicere_ quæ _dicenda_ sunt non video. 6. +Fari+ (#phanai#) denotes speaking, as the mechanical use of the organs of speech to articulate sounds and words, nearly in opp. to _infantem esse_; whereas +loqui+ (#lakein#), as the means of giving utterance to one's thoughts, in opp. to _tacere_. And as +fari+ may be sometimes limited to the utterance of single words, it easily combines with the image of an unusual, imposing, oracular brevity, as in the decrees of fate, _fati_; whereas +loqui+, as a usual mode of speaking, is applicable to excess in speaking, _loquacitas_. (iv. 1.) DICTERIUM, see _Verbum_. DICTO AUDIENTEM ESSE, see _Parere_. DIES; TEMPUS; TEMPESTAS; DIE; INTERDIU. 1. +Dies+ (from #endios#) denotes time in its pure abstract nature, as mere extension and progression; whereas +tempus+ and +tempestas+, with a qualifying and physical reference, as the weather and different states of time; +tempus+ denotes rather a mere point of time, an instant, an epoch; +tempestas+, an entire space of time, a period. Hence +dies docebit+ refers to a long space of time, after the lapse of which information will come, like #chronos#; whereas +tempus docebit+ refers to a particular point of time which shall bring information, like #kairos#. (iv. 267.) 2. +Die+ means by the day, in opp. to by the hour or the year; whereas +interdiu+ and +diu+, by day, in opp. to _noctu_; but +interdiu+ stands in any connection; +diu+ only in direct connection with _noctu_. (iv. 288.) DIES FESTI, see _Solemnia_. [[IN SINGULOS DIES, see _Quotidie_.]] DIFFERRE; PROFERRE; PROCRASTINARE; PROROGARE. 1. +Differre+ denotes delay in a negative sense, whereby a thing is not done at present, but laid aside; whereas +proferre+ and +procrastinare+, delay in a positive sense, as that which is to take place at a future time; +proferre+ refers to some other time in general; +procrastinare+, to the very next opportunity. 2. +Differre+ denotes an action, the beginning of which is put off; +prorogare+, a condition or state, the ending of which is put off, as to protract. (vi. 102.) DIFFICILIS, see _Arduus_ and _Austerus_. DIGLADIARI, see _Pugnare_. DIGNUM ESSE, see _Merere_. DILIGENTIA, see _Opera_. DILIGERE; AMARE; DEAMARE; ADAMARE; CARITAS; AMOR; PIETAS. 1. +Diligere+ (from #alegein#) is love arising from esteem, and, as such, a result of reflection on the worth of the beloved object, like #philein#; whereas +amare+ is love arising from inclination, which has its ground in feeling, and is involuntary, or quite irresistible, like #eran#, #erasthai#; +diligere+ denotes a purer love, which, free from sensuality and selfishness, is also more calm; +amare+, a warmer love, which, whether sensual or platonic, is allied to passion. Cic. Att. xiv. 17. Tantum accessit ut mihi nunc denique _amare_ videar, ante _dilexisse_. Fam. xiii. 47. Brut. i. 1. Plin. Ep. iii. 9. 2. +Amare+ means to love in general; +deamare+, as an intensive, to love desperately, like _amore deperire_; and +adamare+, as an inchoative, to fall in love. 3. +Caritas+, in an objective sense, means to be dear to some one; +amor+, to hold some one dear: hence the phrases, _Caritas_ apud aliquem; _amor_ erga aliquem. 4. +Caritas+, in a subjective sense, denotes any tender affection, especially that of parents towards their children, without any mixture of sensuality, and refers merely to persons, like #agapê# or #storgê#; whereas +amor+ denotes ardent passionate love to persons or things, like #erôs#; lastly, +pietas+ (from #psêchô#, #psiês#, the instinctive love to persons and things, which we are bound to love by the holy ties of nature, the gods, those related to us by blood, one's native country, and benefactors. +Caritas+ rejoices in the beloved object and its possession, and shows itself in friendship and voluntary sacrifices; +amor+ wishes evermore to get the beloved object in its power, and loves with a restless unsatisfied feeling; +pietas+ follows a natural impulse and religious feeling. (iv. 97.) DILUCULUM, see _Mane_. DIMETARI, DIMETIRI, see _Metiri_. DIMICARE, see _Pugnare_. DIMITTERE, see _Mittere_. DIRIMERE, see _Dividere_. DIRIPERE, see _Vastare_. DIRUS, see _Atrox_. DISCEPTATIO; LITIGATIO; CONTROVERSIA; CONTENTIO; ALTERCATIO; JURGIUM; RIXA. 1. +Disceptatio+, +litigatio+, and +controversia+, are dissensions, the settling of which is attempted quietly, and in an orderly way; +contentio+, +altercatio+, and +jurgium+, such as are conducted with passion and vehemence, but which are still confined to words; +rixæ+ (#orektês#) such as, like frays and broils come to blows, or at least threaten to come to blows, and are mid-way between _jurgium_ and _pugna_. Liv. xxxv. 17. Ex _disceptatione altercationem_ fecerunt. Tac. Hist. i. 64. _Jurgia_ primum, mox _rixa_ inter Batavos et legionarios. Dial. 26. Cassius Severus non pugnat, sed _rixatur_. 2. +Controversia+ takes place between two parties the moment they place themselves in array on opposite sides; +disceptatio+, when they commence disputing with each other, in order to arrive at the path of truth, or to discover what is right, but without a hostile feeling; +litigatio+, when a hostile feeling and a personal interest are at the bottom of the dispute. 3. +Contentio+ would maintain the right against all opponents, and effect its purpose, whatever it may be, by the strenuous exertion of all its faculties; +altercatio+ would not be in debt to its opponent a single word, but have the last word itself; +jurgium+ (from #orgê#) will, without hearkening to another, give vent to its ill-humor by harsh words. +Contentio+ presents the serious image of strenuous exertion; +altercatio+, the comic image of excessive heat, as in women's quarrels; +jurgium+, the hateful image of rude anger. (v. 274.) DISCERNERE; DISTINGUERE. +Discernere+ (#diakrinein#) means to distinguish by discrimination and judgment; +distinguere+ (#diastixai#, or #diatengein#), by signs and marks. (vi. 103.) DISCIPLINÆ, see _Literæ_. DISCRIMEN, see _Tentare_. DISERTUS; FACUNDUS; ELOQUENS. +Disertus+ and +facundus+ denote a natural gift or talent for speaking, whereas +eloquens+, an acquired and cultivated art. +Disertus+ is he who speaks with clearness and precision; +facundus+, he who speaks with elegance and beauty; +eloquens+, he who combines clearness and precision with elegance and beauty. The _disertus_ makes a good teacher, who may nevertheless be confined to a one-sided formation of intellect; the _facundus_ is a good companion, whose excellence may nevertheless be confined to a superficial adroitness in speaking, without acuteness or depth, whereas the _eloquens_, whether he speaks as a statesman or as an author, must, by talent and discipline in all that relates to his art, possess a complete mastery over language, and the resources of eloquence. Cic. Orat. 5, 19. Antonius . . . . _disertos_ ait se vidisse multos, _eloquentem_ omnino neminem. Quintil. viii. pr. 13. _Diserto_ satis dicere quæ oporteat; ornate autem dicere proprium est _eloquentissimi_. Suet. Cat. 53. _Eloquentiæ_ quam plurimum adtendit, quantumvis _facundus_ et promptus. (iv. 14.) DISPAR, see _Æquus_. DISPERTIRE, see _Dividere_. DISPUTARE, see _Disserere_. DISSERERE; DISPUTARE. +Disserere+ (#dierein#) means to express an opinion in a didactic form, and at the same time to explain the grounds of that opinion; but +disputare+ (#diaputhesthai#) in a polemical form, and to take into consideration the arguments against it, and with one's opponent, whether an imaginary person or actually present, to weigh argument against argument, and ascertain on which side the balance of truth lies. The _disserens_ takes only a subjective view of the question; but the _disputans_ would come at a result of objective validity. +Disserere+, moreover, denotes a freer, +disputare+ a more methodical discussion of the subject. Cic. Rep. iii. 16 i. 24. Fin. i. 9, 31. Orat. ii. 3, 13. (iv. 19.) DISTINGUERE, see _Discernere_. DISTRIBUERE, see _Dividere_. DIU, DIUTIUS, DIUTINUS, see _Pridem_. DIVELLERE, see _Frangere_. DIVERSUS, see _Varius_. DIVIDERE; PARTIRI; DIRIMERE; DISPERTIRE; DISTRIBUERE. 1. +Dividere+ and +dirimere+ mean to divide something, merely in order to break the unity of the whole, and separate it into parts, whereas +partiri+ means to divide, in order to get the parts of the whole, and to be able to dispose of them. Hence the phrases _divide et impera_, and _dividere sententias_, but _partiri prædam_. 2. +Divisio+ denotes, theoretically, the separation of a genus into its species, whereas +partitio+, the separation of the whole into its parts. Quintil. v. 10, 63. Cic. Top. 5. 3. +Dividere+ refers to a whole, of which the parts are merely locally and mechanically joined, and therefore severs only an exterior connection; but +dirimere+ refers to a whole, of which the parts organically cohere, and destroys an interior connection. Liv. xxii. 15. Casilinum urbs . . . Volturno flumine _dirempta_ Falernum ac Campanum agrum _dividit_: for the separation of a city into two halves by a river, is an interior separation, whereas the separation of two neighboring districts by a city, is an exterior separation. 4. +Dividere+ means also to separate into parts, without any accessory notion, whereas +dispertire+, with reference to future possessors, and +distribuere+, with reference to the right owners, or to proper and suitable places. (iv. 156.) DIVINARE; PRÆSAGIRE; PRÆSENTIRE; PRÆVIDERE; VATICINARI; PRÆDICERE. 1. +Divinare+ denotes foreseeing by divine inspiration and supernatural aid, like #manteuesthai#; +præsagire+ (præ and #hêgeisthai#), in a natural way, by means of a peculiar organization of mind bordering on the supernatural; +præsentire+ and +prævidere+, by an unusual measure of natural talent; +præsentire+, by immediate presentiment; +prævidere+, by foresight, by an acute and happy combination. 2. +Divinare+, etc., are merely acts of perception, whereas +vaticinatio+ and +prædictio+, the open expression of what is foreseen; +vaticinatio+, that of the _divinans_ and _præsagiens_, like #prophêteia#, prophecy; but +prædictio+, that of the _præsentiens_ and _prævidens_, prediction. (vi. 105.) DIVITIÆ; OPES; GAZÆ; LOCUPLES; OPULENTUS; COPIOSUS. 1. +Divitiæ+ and +gazæ+ denote riches quite generally, as possessions and the means of satisfying one's wishes of any sort, whereas +opes+, as the means of attaining higher ends, of aggrandizing one's self, and of acquiring and maintaining influence. +Divitiæ+ (from #deuein#) denotes the riches of a private person, like #ploutos#; +opes+ (opulentus, #polus#), the instrument of the statesman, or of the ambitious in political life; +gazæ+, the treasure of a king or prince, like #thêsauroi#. 2. +Dives+ means rich in opp. to poor, Quintil. v. 10, 26, like #plousios#; +locuples+ (loculos #plêthôn#), well-off, in opp. to _egens_, _egenus_, Cic. Planc. 35. Ros. Com. 8, like #aphneios#; +opulentus+ and +copiosus+, opulent, in opp. to _inops_, Cic. Parad. 6. Tac. H. iii. 6, like #euporos#. (v. 81.) DIVORTIUM, see _Repudium_. DIVUS, see _Numen_. DOCTOR; PRÆCEPTOR; MAGISTER. +Doctor+ means the teacher, as far as he imparts theory, with reference to the student, in opp. to the mere hearer; +præceptor+, as far as he leads to practice, in reference to the pupil, in opp. to the mere scholar; +magister+, in a general sense, with reference to his superiority and ascendency in knowledge, in opp. to the laity. Cic. Orat. iii. 15. Vetus illa doctrina eadem videtur et recte faciendi et bene dicendi magistra, neque disjuncti _doctores_, sed iidem erant vivendi _præceptores_ atque dicendi. And. Mur. 31. (vi. 105). DOCTRINA; ERUDITIO. +Doctrina+ denotes learning as a particular species of intellectual cultivation, whereas +eruditio+ the learned result, as the crown of intellectual cultivation. +Doctrina+ evinces a superiority in particular branches of knowledge, and stands as a co-ordinate notion with +exercitatio+, which is distinguished from it by involving a superiority in the ready use of learning, and can therefore, even as a mere theory, be of more evident service in practice than that which is indirectly important; +eruditio+ stands in still closer relation to practice, and involves the co-operation of the different branches of knowledge and different studies to the ennobling of the human race; it denotes genuine zeal for the welfare of mankind in an intellectual, as _humanitas_ does in a moral, point of view. (v. 268.) DOCTRINÆ, see _Literæ_. DOLOR; TRISTITIA; MOESTITIA; LUCTUS. 1. +Dolor+ (from #thlan#, #athlios#?) denotes an inward feeling of grief, opp. to _gaudium_, Cic. Phil. xiii. 20. Suet. Cæs. 22, like #algos#; whereas +tristitia+, +moeror+, +luctus+, denote an utterance or external manifestation of this inward feeling. +Tristitia+ and +moestitia+ are the natural and involuntary manifestation of it in the gestures of the body and in the countenance; +luctus+ (#aluktos#), its artificial manifestation, designedly, and through the conventional signs of mourning, as cutting off the hair, mourning clothes, etc., at an appointed time, like #penthos#. +Moeror+ also serves for a _heightened_ expression of _dolor_, and +luctus+ of _moeror_ and _tristitia_, as far as the manifestation _is added_ to distinguish the feeling from it. Cic. Att. xii. 28. _Mærorem_ minui; _dolorem_ nec potui, nec si possem vellem. Phil. xi. 1. Magno in _dolore_ sum, vel in _moerore_ potius, quem ex miserabili morte C. Trebonii accepimus. Plin. Ep. v. 9. Illud non _triste_ solum, verum etiam _luctuosum_, quod Julius avitus decessit. Tac. Agr. 43. Finis vitæ ejus nobis _luctuosus_, amicis _tristis_; for relations only put on mourning. Tac. Ann. ii. 82. Quanquam nec insignibus lugentium abstinebant, altius animis _moerebant_. Cic. Sext. 29, 39. _Luctum_ nos hausimus majorem _dolorem_ ille animi non minorem. 2. +Tristitia+ (from #taraktos#?) denotes the expression of grief in a bad sense, as gloom, fretfulness, and ill-humor, opp. to _hilaratus_, Cic. Att. xii. 40. Fin. v. 30. Cæcil. ap. Gell. xv. 9.

Cat. f. Tac. Ann. i. 28. +Tristitia+ is more an affair of reflection; +moestitia+, of feeling. The _tristis_, like the _truculentus_, is known by his forbidding look, his wrinkled forehead, the contraction of his eyebrows; the _moestus_, like the _afflictus_, by his lack-lustre eyes and dejected look. Tac. Hist. i. 82. Rarus per vias populus _moesta_ plebs; dejecti in terram militum vultus, ac plus _tristitæ_ quam poenitentiæ. Cic. Mur. 24, 49. _Tristem_ ipsum, _moestos_ amicos: and Orat. 22, 74. (iii. 234.) DOLOR, see _Cura_. DOMUS, see _Ædificium_. DONUM; MUNUS; LARGITIO; DONARIUM; DONATIVUM; LIBERALITAS. 1. +Donum+ (#dôtinê#) means a present, as a gratuitous gift, by which the giver wishes to confer pleasure, like #dôron#; whereas +munus+, as a reward for services, whereby the giver shows his love or favor, like #geras#; lastly, +largitio+, as a gift from self-interested motives, which under the show of beneficence would win over and bribe, generally for political ends. Suet. Cæs. 28. Aliis captivorum millia _dono_ afferens; that is, not merely as a loan: compare with Ner. 46. Auspicanti Sporus annulum _muneri_ obtulit; that is, as a handsome return. Tac. H. ii. 30. Id comitatem bonitatemque faventes vocabant, quod sine modo (Vitellius) _donaret_ sua _largiretur_ aliena. 2. +Donarium+ denotes particularly a gift to a temple; +donativum+, a military gift, or earnest-money, which the new emperor at his accession to the throne distributes among the soldiers; +liberalitas+, a gift which the emperor bestowed, generally on a poor nobleman, for his support. (iv. 142.)

Hence +dorsum montis+ denotes the uppermost surface; +tergum montis+, the hinder part of a mountain. (v. 15.) DUBIUS; AMBIGUUS; ANCEPS. +Dubius+ (#doios#) and +ambiguus+ (#amphis echôn#) denote doubt, with reference to success or failure, fortune or misfortune; +anceps+, with reference to existence itself, to the being or not being. Vell. Pat. ii. 79. Ea patrando bello mora fuit, quod postea _dubia_ et interdum _ancipiti_ fortuna gestum est. Tac. Ann. iv. 73. (v. 282.) DUDUM, see _Pridem_. DULCIS, see _Suavis_. DUMI; SENTES; VEPRES. +Dumi+ denotes bushes growing thickly together, which present the appearance of a wilderness; +sentes+, prickly and wounding bushes, thorn-bushes; +vepres+ combines both meanings; thorn-bushes which make the ground a wilderness. (vi. 108.) DUPLEX; DUPLUM; GEMINUS; DUPLICITER; BIFARIAM. 1. +Duplex+ (#diplax#) denotes double, as distinct magnitudes to be counted: +duplum+ (#diploun#) as continuous magnitudes to be weighed or measured. +Duplex+ is used as an adjective, +duplum+ as a substantive. Quintil. viii. 6, 42. In quo et numerus est _duplex_ et _duplum_ virium. 2. In +duplex+ (as in #diplous#), _doubleness_ is the _primary_, _similarity_ and _equality_ the _secondary_ notion; in +geminus+ (as in #didumos#), the notion of _similarity_ and _equality_ is the _primary_, that of _doubleness_ the _secondary_ one. In Cic. Part. 6. Verba _geminata_ et _duplicata_ vel etiam sæpius iterata; the word _geminata_ refers to the repetition of the same notion by synonymes; _duplicata_ to the repetition of the same word. 3. +Dupliciter+ is always modal; in two different manners, with double purpose; +bifariam+ is local, in two places, or two parts. Cic. Fam. ix. 20. _Dupliciter_ delectatus sum literis tuis; compare with Tusc. iii. 11. _Bifariam_ quatuor perturbationes æqualiter distributæ sunt. (v. 281.) E. EBRIUS; VINOLENTUS; TREMULENTUS; CRAPULA; EBRIOSUS. 1. +Ebrietas+ places the consequences of the immoderate use of wine in its most favorable point of view, as the exaltation and elevation of the animal spirits, and in its connection with inspiration, like #methê#; whereas +vinolentia+, and the old word +temulentia+, in its disgusting point of view, as brutal excess, and in its connection with the loss of recollection, like #oinôsis#; lastly, +crapula+, the objective cause of this condition, like #kraipalê#. 2. +Ebrius+, and the word of rare occurrence, +madusa+, denote a person who is drunk, with reference to the condition; +ebriosus+, a drunkard, with reference to the habit.

ELOQUI; ENUNCIARE; PROLOQUI; PRONUNCIARE; RECITARE. 1. +Eloqui+ and +enunciare+ denote an act of the intellect, in conformity to which one utters a thought that was resting in the mind; but the _eloquens_ regards therein both substance and form, and would express his thought in the most perfect language; whereas the _enuncians_ regards merely the substance, and would only make his thought _publici juris_, or communicate it; hence +elocutio+ belongs to rhetoric, +enuntiatio+ to logic. 2. On the other hand, +proloqui+ denotes a moral act, in conformity to which one resolves to give utterance to a secret thought, in opp. to _reticere_, like _profiteri_; lastly, +pronuntiare+, a physical act, by which one utters any thing, whether thought of, or written mechanically by the organs of speech, and makes it heard, like _recitare_. +Pronuntiare+, however, is a simple act of the organs of speech, and aims merely at being fully heard; +recitare+ is an act of refined art, and aims by just modulation, according to the laws of declamation, to make a pleasing impression. +Pronuntiatio+ relates only to single letters, syllables, and words, as the elements and body of speech, whereas +recitatio+ relates both to the words and to their import, as the spirit of speech. (iv. 4.) ELUCET, see _Constat_. EMENDARE, see _Corrigere_. EMERE; MERCARI; REDIMERE. 1. +Emere+ means to buy, where furnishing one's self with the article is the main point, the price the next point, like #priasthai#; whereas +mercari+ (from #amergein#) means to buy, as a more formal transaction, generally as the mercantile conclusion of a bargain, like #empolan#. 2. +Emere+ refers to the proper objects of trade; +redimere+ to things which, according to the laws of justice and morality, do not constitute articles of trade, and which the buyer might either claim as his due, or ought to receive freely and gratuitously, such as peace, justice, love, and so forth. Cic. Sext. 30, 36. Quis autem rex qui illo anno non aut _emendum_ sibi quod non habebat, aut _redimendum_ quod habebat, arbitrabatur? (iv. 116.) EMINENS; EXCELLENS; PRÆCLARUS; PRÆSTANS; INSIGNIS; SINGULARIS; UNICUS. 1. +Eminens+, +excellens+, +præclarus+, and +præstans+, involve a quiet acknowledgment of superiority; whereas +egregius+, with an expression of enthusiasm, like glorious; +eximius+, with an expression of admiration, like excellent. 2. +Eximius+, &c. relate altogether to good qualities, like superior, and can be connected with vices and faults only in irony; whereas +insignis+, +singularis+, and +unicus+, are indifferent, and serve as well to heighten blame as praise, like distinguished, matchless.

Sen. Ep. 85. Cato censorius _canterio_ vehebatur et hippoperis quidem impositis. Oh quantum decus sæculi! Catonem uno _caballo_ esse contentum, et ne toto quidem! Ita non omnibus obesis _mannis_ et asturconibus et tolutariis præferres unum illum _equum_ ab ipso Catone defrictum. (iv. 287.) ERGASTULUM, see _Custodia_. ERIPERE, see _Demere_.

(v. 329.) FABULARI, see _Loqui_, _Garrire_, and _Dicere_. [["Loqui" redirects to "Dicere"]] FACERE, see _Agere_. FACETIÆ, see _Lepidus_. FACIES; OS; VULTUS; OCULI. +Facies+ (from species) and +oculi+ (from #okkos#) denote the face and eyes only in a physical point of view, as the natural physiognomy and the organs of sight; but +os+ and +vultus+ with a moral reference, as making known the temporary, and even the habitual state of the mind by the looks and eyes; +os+ (from #othomai#), by the glance of the eye, and the corresponding expression of the mouth; +vultus+ (from #heliktos#), by the motion of the eye, and the simultaneous expression of the parts nearest to it, the serene and the darkened brow. Tac. Agr. 44. Nihil metus in _vultu_; gratia _oris_ supererat. (iv. 318.) FACILITAS, see _Humanitas_. FACINUS, see _Delictum_. FACULTAS, see _Occasio_. FACTUM, see _Agere_. FACUNDUS, see _Disertus_.

Cic. Cæc. 9, 24. Ita libenter _confitetur_, ut non solum _fateri_, sed etiam _profiteri_ videatur. Planc. 25, 62. Rabir. perd. 5. (iv. 30.)

FERRE; PORTARE; BAJULARE; GERERE. 1. +Ferre+ means, like #pherein#, to carry any thing portable from one place to another; +portare+ and +bajulare+, like #bastazein#, to carry a load; +portare+ (from #porizein#), for one's self, or for others; +bajulare+, as a porter. In Cæs. B. G. i. 16. Ædui frumentum . . . . _conferri_, _comportari_, adesse dicere; +conferre+ refers to the delivery and the contribution from several subjects to the authorities of the place; +comportare+, the delivery of these contributions by the authorities of the place to Cæsar. 2. +Ferre+, +portare+, and +bajulare+, express only an exterior relation, that of the carrier to his load, whereas +gerere+ (#ageirein#) +gestare+, like #phorein#, an interior relation, that of the possessor to his property. As, then, +bellum ferre+ means only either _inferre bellum_ or _tolerare_, so +bellum gerere+ has a synonymous meaning with _habere_, and is applicable only to the whole people, or to their sovereign, who resolved upon the war, and is in a state of war; but not to the army fighting, nor to the commander who is commissioned to conduct the war. _Bellum geret_ populus Romanus, administrat consul, capessit miles. (i. 150.) FERRE; TOLERARE; PERFERRE; PERPETI; SUSTINERE; SINERE; SUSTENTARE. 1. +Ferre+ (#pherein#) represents the bearing, only with reference to the burden which is borne, altogether objectively, like #pherein#; whereas +tolerare+, +perferre+, and +pati+, +perpeti+, with subjective reference to the state of mind of the person bearing; the _tolerans_ and _perferens_ bear their burden without sinking under it, with strength and self-control, synonymously with _sustinens_, sustaining, like #tolmôn#; the _patiens_ and _perpetiens_ (#pathein#) without striving to get rid of it, with willingness or resignation, enduring it, synonymously with _sinens_. +Ferre+ and +tolerare+ have only a noun for their object, but +pati+ also an infinitive. 2. +Perferre+ is of higher import than _tolerare_, as +perpeti+ is of higher import than _pati_, to endure heroically and patiently. Poet. ap. Cic. Tusc. iv. 29. Nec est malum, quod non natura humana patiendo _ferat_: compare with Tac. Ann. i. 74. Sen. Thyest. 307. Leve est miserias _ferre_; _perferre_ est grave. Plin. H. N. xxvi. 21. Qui _perpeti_ medicinam non _toleraverant_. Tac. Ann. iii. 3. Magnitudinem mali _perferre_ visu non _toleravit_. 3. +Tolerare+ (from #tlênai#) means to keep up under a burden, and not sink down; but +sustinere+ means to keep up the burden, and not let it sink. 4. +Pati+ denotes an intellectual permission, no opposition being made, like to let happen; whereas +sinere+ (#aneinai#) denotes a material permission, not to hold any thing fast nor otherwise hinder, to leave free. +Pati+ has, in construction, the action itself for its object, and governs an infinitive; +sinere+, the person acting, and is in construction with _ut_. (iv. 259.) 5. +Sustinere+ means to hold up, in a general sense, whereas +sustentare+, to hold up with trouble and difficulty. Curt. viii. 4, 15. Forte Macedo gregarius miles seque et arma _sustentans_ tandem in castra venit; compare with v. 1, 11. Tandem Laconum acies languescere, lubrica arma sudore vix _sustinens_. Also, Liv. xxiii. 45.

FESTIVUS, see _Lepidus_. FIDELIS, see _Fidus_. FIDELITAS, see _Fides_. FIDERE; CONFIDERE; FIDEM HABERE; CREDERE; COMMITTERE; PERMITTERE. 1. +Fidere+ (#peithein#) means to trust; +confidere+, to trust firmly, both with reference to strength and assistance; whereas +fidem habere+, to give credit, and +credere+, to place belief, namely, with reference to the good intentions of another. Liv. ii. 45. Consules magis non _confidere_ quam non _credere_ suis militibus; the former with reference to their valor, the latter with reference to their fidelity. 2. +Fidere+, etc., denote trust as a feeling; +committere+, +permittere+, as an action; the _committens_ acts in good trust in the power and will of another, whereby he imposes upon him a moral responsibility; to intrust; the _permittens_ acts to get rid of the business himself, whereby he imposes at most only a political or legal responsibility, as to leave (or, give up) to. Cic. Font. 14. Ita ut _commissus_ sit fidei, _permissus_ potestati. Verr. i. 32. v. 14. (v. 259.) FIDES; FIDELITAS; FIDUCIA; CONFIDENTIA; AUDACIA; AUDENTIA. 1. +Fides+ and +fidelitas+ mean the fidelity which a man himself observes towards others; +fides+, in a more general sense, like #pistis#, the keeping of one's word and assurance from conscientiousness, together with the reliance of others upon us as springing from this quality, the credit we possess; +fidelitas+ denotes, in a more special sense, like #pistotês#, the faithful adherence to persons to whom we have once devoted ourselves; whereas +fiducia+ and +confidentia+ denote the trust we place in others; +fiducia+, the laudable trust in things, in which we actually can trust, which is allied to the courage of trusting in ourselves, in opp. to _timor_; Cic. Div. ii. 31. Plin. Ep. v. 17, like #tharsos#; but +confidentia+ denotes a blamable blind trust, particularly in one's own strength, in opp. to foresight and discretion, and which converts spirit into presumption, like #thrasos#. 5. +Fiducia+ and +confidentia+ have their foundation in trusting to the prosperous issue of anything; +audacia+ and +audentia+, in the contempt of danger; +audacia+ sometimes means a laudable boldness, as a word of higher import than _fiducia_; sometimes a blamable boldness, as a civil term for _temeritas_, like #tolma#; but +audentia+ is always a laudable spirit of enterprise. Juven. xiii. 108. Quum magna malæ superest _audacia_ causæ, creditur a multis _fiducia_. Sen. Ep. 87. Quæ bona sunt, _fiduciam_ faciunt, divitiæ _audaciam_. (v. 256.) FIDES, see _Religio_. FIDES, see _Chorda_. FIDUCIA, see _Fides_. FIDUS; FIDELIS; INFIDUS; INFIDELIS; PERFIDUS; PERFIDIOSUS. 1. +Fidus+ denotes a natural quality, like trustworthy, with relative praise; whereas +fidelis+ denotes a moral characteristic, as faithful, with absolute praise. Liv. xxii. 22. Eo vinculo Hispaniam vir unus solerti magis quam _fideli_ consilio exsolvit. Abellex erat Sagunti, nobilis Hispanus, _fidus_ ante Poenis. 2. +Infidus+ means unworthy of trust; +infidelis+, unfaithful; +perfidus+, treacherous, in particular actions; +perfidiosus+, full of treachery, with reference to the whole character. (v. 255.) FIGURA; FORMA; SPECIES. +Figura+ (from fingere, #phengein#,) denotes shape altogether indifferently, in its mathematical relation, as far as it possesses a definite outline, like #schêma#; whereas +forma+ (#phorimos#, #phorêma#,) denotes it in an _æsthetical_ relation, as far as it is a visible stamp and copy of an interior substance, to which it corresponds, like #morphê#; lastly, +species+, in its physical relation, as far as it stands opposed to the inner invisible substance, which it covers as a mere outside, like #eidos#. Hence +figurare+ means to shape, that is, to give a definite outline to a formless mass; whereas +formare+ means to form, that is, to give the right shape to an unwrought mass; and lastly, +speciem addere+ means to bedeck any thing, in the old sense of the word, that is, to give to a mass already formed an exterior that shall attract the eye. According to this explanation +figura+ refers exclusively to the outline or lineaments, whilst +forma+, or at least +species+, involves color, size, and the like. (iii. 25.) FIMUS, see _Lutum_. FINDERE; SCINDERE. +Findere+ means to separate a body according to its natural joints, consequently to divide it, as it were, into its component parts, to cleave; but +scindere+ (#skedasai#) to divide it by force, without regard to its joints, and so separate it into fragments, to chop or tear to pieces. Hence +findere lignum+ means to cleave a log of wood, with the assistance of nature herself, lengthways; +scindere+, to chop it by mere force breadthways. The _findens æquor nave_ considers the sea as a conflux of its component waters; the _scindens_, merely as a whole. (iv. 154.) FINIRE; TERMINARE; CONSUMMARE; ABSOLVERE; PERFICERE. +Finire+ and +terminare+ denote the mere ending of anything, without regard to how far the object of the undertaking is advanced; +finire+ (#phthinein#?) to end, in opp. to _incipere_, Cic. Orat. iii. 59; but +terminare+, to make an end, in opp. to _continuare_; whereas +consummare+, +absolvere+, and +perficere+ denote the completion of a work; +consummare+, as the most general term in opp. to doing a thing by halves; +absolvere+ refers to a duty fulfilled, and a difficult work which is now done, and leaves the workman free, in opp. to _inchoare_; +perficere+ refers to an end attained, and a self-chosen task, which is now done, and may be called complete, in opp. to _conari_. Cic. Orat. 29, 30. Verr. i. 27. +Absolutus+ also has an extensive signification, and refers to the completeness of the work, like #entelês#; +perfectus+, an intensive signification, and refers to the excellence of the work, like #teleios#. (iv. 366.) FINIS; TERMINUS; LIMES. +Finis+ (from #phthinô#) denotes a boundary, as a mathematical line, like #telos#; +terminus+ and +limes+, a mark, as the material sign of a boundary; +terminus+ (#teiromenos#, #terma#,) a stone set up, as the sign of a bounding point, like #terma#; +limes+, a ridge, as the sign of a bounding line, like #horos#. Cic. Læl. 16. Constituendi sunt qui sint in amicitia _fines_ et quasi _termini_ diligendi. Hor. Carm. ii. 18, 24. Revellis agri _terminos_ et ultra _limites_ clientium salis avarus. (iv. 359.) FINITIMUS, see _Vicinus_. FIRMUS, see _Validus_. FISCUS, see _Ærarium_. FLAGITARE, see _Petere_. FLAGITIUM, see _Delictum_. FLAGRARE, see _Ardere_. FLAVUS, see _Luteus_. FLERE, see _Lacrimare_. FLUCTUS, see _Aqua_. FLUENTUM, see _Aqua_. FLUERE; MANARE; LIQUERE. +Fluere+ (#phluô#) denotes flowing, with reference to the motion of the fluid; +manare+ (from #manos#, or _madere_,) with reference to the imparting of the fluid; and +liquere+, with reference to the nature of the fluid. The cause of the _fluendi_ is, that the fluid has no dam, and according to the law of gravity flows on; whereas the cause of the _manandi_ is the over-fulness of the spring; lastly, +liquere+, to be fluid, is the negative state of _fluere_ and _manare_. Hence +fluere+, with its synonyme +labi+, is more opposed to _hærere_ and _stare_; and moreover +labari+, with its synonyme +effundi+, more opposed to _contineri_, _claudi_; lastly, +liquere+, with its synonyme +dissolvi+, more opposed to _concrevisse_, _rigere_. Gell. xvii. 11. Plato potum dixit _defluere_ ad pulmonem, eoque satis humectato, demanare per eum, quia sit rimosior, et _confluere_ inde in vesicam. (ii. 1.) FLUVIUS; FLUMEN; AMNIS. +Fluvius+, +flumen+, (from #phluô#) denote, like #rhoos#, #rheuma#, an ordinary stream, in opp. to a pond and lake; whereas +amnis+ (#amenas#, _manare_,) like #potamos#, a great and mighty river, in opp. to the sea. Cic. Div. i. 50. and Divin. i. 35, 78. Ut _flumina_ in contrarias partes fluxerint, atque in _amnes_ mare influxerit. Tac. Ann. xv. 58. Senec. N. Q. iii. 19. Habet ergo non tantum venas aquarum terra, ex quibus corrivatis _flumina_ effici possunt, sed et _amnes_ magnitudinis vastæ. Then: Hanc magnis _amnibus_ æternam esse materiam, cujus non tangantur extrema sicut _fluminum_ et fontium. Tac. Hist. v. 23. Quo Mosæ _fluminis_ os _amnem_ Rhenum oceano affundit. Curt. ix. 4, 5. (ii. 7.) FOECUNDUS; FERTILIS; FERAX; UBER; FRUGIFER; FRUCTUOSUS. 1. +Foecundus+ (from #phuô#, foetus,) denotes the fruitfulness of a living and breeding being, in opp. to _effatus_, like #eutokos#; whereas +fertilis+ and +ferax+ (from (#pherô#) the fruitfulness of inanimate and productive nature, and of the elements, opposed to _sterilis_, like #euphoros#. Tac. Ann. xii. 63. Byzantium _fertili_ solo _foecundoque_ mari, quia vis piscium hos ad portus adfertur. Germ. 5. Terra satis _ferax, frugiferarum_ arborum impatiens, pecorum _foecunda_, sed plerumque improcera. Mela. i. 9, 1. Terra mire _fertilis_ et animalium _perfoecunda_ genetrix. And ii. 7. 2. +Fertilis+ denotes the actual fruitfulness which has been produced by cultivation; +ferax+, the mere capability which arises from the nature of the soil. Cicero uses _fertilis_ in a proper, _ferax_, in a figurative sense. 3. +Fertilis+ and +ferax+ denote fruitfulness under the image of creative and productive power, as of the father and mother; +uber+, under the image of fostering and sustaining, as of the nurse, like #euthênês#; +frugifer+, under the image of a corn-field; +fructuosus+, under that of a tree rich in fruit, like #enkarpos#. (iv. 831.) FOEDUS; SOCIETAS. +Foedus+ (#pepoithos#) is an engagement for mutual security, on the ground of a sacred contract; whereas +societas+, an engagement to some undertaking in common on the ground of a mere agreement. Liv. xxiv. 6. Hieronymus legatos Carthaginem mittit ad _foedus_ ex _societate_ faciendum. Sall. Jug. 14. Cic. Phil. ii. 35. Neque ullam _societatem . . . . foedere_ ullo confirmari posse credidi. (vi. 132.) FOEDUS, see _Tæter_. [[redirects to _Teter_]] FOEMINA, see _Femina_. FOENUS; USURA. +Foenus+ (from #phuô#, foetus,) denotes interest as the produce of capital, like #tokos#; +usura+ denotes what is paid by the debtor for the use of capital, like #danos#. (vi. 133.) FOETUS; FOEDUS, see _Prægnans_. FORES, see _Ostium_. FORMA, see _Figura_. FORMARE, see _Erudire_. FORMIDO, see _Vereri_. FORMOSUS; PULCHER; VENUSTUS. 1. +Formosus+ means beauty, as far as it excites pleasure and delight by fineness of form; +pulchrum+, as far as it excites admiration, is imposing, and satisfies the taste by its perfectness; +venustum+, as far as by its charms it excites desire, and captivates. +Formositas+ works on the natural sense of beauty; +pulchritudo+, on the cultivated taste; +venustas+, on the more refined sensuality. Suet. Ner. 51. Fuit vultu _pulchro_ magis quam _venusto_; that is, it had perfect and regular beauty rather than pleasing features, and possessed a cold, heartless sort of beauty, by which no one felt attracted. Comp. Catull. lxxxvi. Hor. A. P. 99. Cic. Off. i. 36. 2. +Venustas+, loveliness, is of higher import than _gratia_, grace; the former transports, the latter only attracts. (iii. 29.) FORS, see _Casus_. FORTE, FORTUITO, FORTASSE, FORSITAN, see _Casu_. FORTITUDO, see _Ferocia_. FORTUNA, see _Casus_. FORTUNATUS, see _Felix_. FOVEA, see _Specus_. FOVERE, see _Calere_. FRAGOR; STREPITUS; CREPITUS; SONITUS. +Fragor+ (#spharagos#) is a hollow, discordant sound, as crashing, like #doupos#; +strepitus+ (#threô#, #thorubê#?) a loud noisy sound, as roaring, bawling, shrieking, like #ktupos#; +crepitus+ (from #krembalon#?) a single sound, or the frequent repeating of the same sound, as clapping, like #krousis#, #krotos#; +sonitus+ (#enosis#, #Enuô#) a sound consisting of the vibrations of elastic bodies, as ringing, clinking, like #êchê#. Cic. Top. 12. Quæruntur pedum _crepitus, strepitus_ hominum. (v. 117.) FRAGRARE, see _Olere_. FRANGERE; RUMPERE; DIVELLERE. 1. +Frangere+ (#rhêxai#? or #spharaxai#) denotes to break to pieces what is hard; +rumpere+ (from #rhepô#, #rhopalon#,) to rend to pieces what is flexible. Cato ap. Prisc. Si quis membrum _rupit_, aut os _fregit_: for by breaking a limb, not the invisible bones, but the visible flesh, is rent asunder. When, however, +rumpere+ is applied to any thing hard, it involves the notion of exertion employed, and of danger; the _frangens_ breaks to pieces what is entire; the _rumpens_ rends to pieces what is obstructive. 2. +Disrumpere+ and +diffringere+ mean to rend to pieces, and break to pieces, what was originally entire; whereas +divellere+ (#dielkein#) to tear asunder what was at first joined together. (v. 321.) FRAUDARE, see _Fallere_. FRENUM; HABENA; OREÆ. 1. +Frenum+ (from #phraxai#?) is the bridle with which the rider breaks the wild horse, like #chalinos#; whereas +habena+ (from hebes, #chabos#, #kampsai#,) the rein with which he turns the obedient horse, like #hênion#. Hor. Ep. i. 15, 13. Læva stomachosus _habena_ dicet eques; sed equi _frenato_ est auris in ore; that is, he minds not the reins, and must feel the bit. Cic. Orat. i. 53. Senatum servire populo, cui populus ipse moderandi et regendi sui potestatem quasi quasdam _habenas_ tradidisset: comp. with Tac. Dial. 38. Pompeius adstrinxit, imposuitque quasi _frenos_ eloquentiæ. 2. +Oreæ+, +aureæ+, now only to be found in +auriga+, were, perhaps, the generic term of _frenum_ and _habena_, like harness. (v. 137.) FREQUENTER, see _Sæpe_. FRETUS, see _Confisus_. FRICARE, see _Lævis_. FRIGERE; ALGERE; ALGIDUS; ALSUS; GELIDUS; FRIGUS; GELU; GLACIES. +Frigere+ (#phrixai#) means to be cold, in opp. to _calere_, Cic. Fam. viii. 8. Auct. Her. iv. 15. Sen. Ir. ii. 18; whereas +algere+ (#algein#) means to feel cold, in opp. to _æstuare_. Cic. Tusc. ii. 14, 34. Sen. Ir. iii. 12. Plin. H. N. xvii. 26. 2. +Algidus+ denotes cold, as an unpleasant chill; +alsus+, as a refreshing coolness. 3. +Frigidus+ denotes a moderate degree of coldness, in opp. to _calidus_; whereas +gelidus+ means on the point of freezing, in opp. to _fervidus_. 4. +Frigus+ denotes, objectively, cold in itself, which attacks a man, and leaves him; whereas +frigedo+ denotes cold, subjectively, as the state of a man attacked by cold, which begins and ends; it is an antiquated word which has become obsolete by the general use of _frigus_. 5. +Gelu+, +gelus+, +gelum+, (#gloia#) denote, like #kruos#, cold that produces ice; +gelicidium+, like #krumos#, a single attack of frost, a frosty night; and +glacies+, like #krustallos#, its effect, ice. (iii. 89.) FRUCTUOSUS, see _Foecundus_. FRUGI, see _Bonus_. FRUGIFER, see _Foecundus_. FRUI, FRUNISCI, see _Uti_. FRUSTRA; NEQUIDQUAM; INCASSUM; IRRITUS. 1. +Frustra+ (from #psuthos#) means in vain, with reference to the subject, whose expectation and calculations have been disappointed; whereas +nequidquam+ (that is, in nequidquam, in nihil), to no purpose, refers to the nullity in which the thing has ended. 2. Hence +frustra+, used adjectively, refers to the person; whereas +irritus+, the actual adjective, refers to the thing. 3. +Frustra+ and +nequidquam+ denote merely a failure, without imputing a fault, like #matên#; whereas +incassum+ involves the accessory notion of a want of consideration, by which the failure might have been calculated upon, and foreseen, as in attempting any thing manifestly or proverbially impossible, #eis kenon#. (iii. 100.) FRUSTRARI, see _Fallere_. FRUTICETUM, see _Rami_. FUGITIVUS, see _Perfuga_. FULCIRI; NITI. +Fulciri+, +fultus+ (#phulaxai#) means to prop one's self up in order to be secure against falling, generally by leaning against a pillar, etc.; whereas +niti+, +nixus+, in order to climb a height, or to get forward, generally by standing on a basis. (ii. 127.) FULGUR; FULGURATIO; FULMEN. +Fulgur+, +fulgetrum+, and +fulguratio+, denote the shining of the lightning in the horizon, like #astrapê#; +fulgur+, as momentary and single flashes; +fulguratio+, as continued and repeated; whereas +fulmen+ means the lightning that strikes the earth, like #keraunos#. Liv. xl. 59. _Fulguribus_ præstringentibus aciem oculorum, sed _fulmina_ etiam sic undique micabant, ut petit viderentur corpora. Curt. viii. 4, 3. Ovid, Met. iii. 300. Cic. Divin. ii. 19. Plin. H. N. ii. 43. Si in nube erumpat ardens, _fulmina_; si longiore tractu nitatur _fulgetra_; his findi nubem, illis perrumpi. Sen. Q. N. i. 1. (iii. 318.) FUNALE, see _Fax_. FUNDAMENTUM, FUNDUS, see _Solum_. FUNDUS, see _Villa_. FUNIS, see _Laqueus_. FUNUS; EXSEQUIÆ; POMPA. +Funus+ (from #phoinos#, #pephnein#,) denotes the mere carrying out of the corpse, like #ekphora#; whereas +exsequiæ+ and +pompa+ (#pompê#) denote the solemn procession; +exsequiæ+, of the living, as relations and friends; +pompa+, of the inanimate, as the images of ancestors, and other pageants. Cic. Quint. 15. _Funus_, quo amici conveniunt ad _exsequias_ cohonestandas. And Plin. H. N. x. 43. Flor. iii. 20. Nep. Att. 22. Elatus est in lecticula, sine ulla _funeris pompa_, comitantibus omnibus bonis, maxima vulgi frequentia. And Cic. Mil. 13. Tac. Ann. iii. 5. (iv. 408.) FURARI, see _Demere_. FUROR, see _Amens_. FUSTIS; FERULA; SUDES; TRUDES; RUDIS; SCIPIO; BACULUS. 1. +Fustis+ and +ferula+ denote sticks for striking; +sudes+, +trudes+, and +rudis+, for thrusting; +scipio+ and +baculus+, for walking. 2. +Fustus+ (#ptorthos#?) is a cudgel or club, large enough to strike a man dead; but +ferula+, a little stick, or rod for the chastisement of school-boys; +sudes+ (#ozos#) and +trudes+ (#storthê#, the root of Trüssel, a weapon called the Morning-star) [a sort of truncheon with a spiked head], are used in battle; +rudis+ (#orsos#) only as a foil in the fencing-school; +scipio+ (#skêpiôn#, #skêpsai#), serves especially for ornament and state, as a symbol of superior power, or of the honor due to age; +baculus+, +bacillum+ (#baktron#), serve more for use and convenience to lean upon, and at the same time, when necessary, as a weapon. (iii. 265.) G. GALEA, see _Cassis_. GANEUM, see _Deversorium_. GANNIRE, see _Latrare_. GARRIRE; FABULARI; BLATIRE; BLATERARE; LOQUAX; VERBOSUS. 1. +Garrire+ (#gêruô#) denotes talking, with reference to excessive fondness for speaking; +fabulari+, to the nullity; +blatire+, and the intensive +blaterare+, to the foolishness of what is said. 2. The _garrulus_ is tiresome from the quality, the _loquax_ from the quantity, of what he says. For +garrulitas+ expresses childish or idle talkativeness, from the mere pleasure of talking and hearing one's self talk, without regard to the value and substance of what is said, and has its origin in a degeneracy of youthful vivacity, and even in the abuse of superior talents, like #lalia#; whereas +loquacitas+ (#lakazein#) expresses a quaint talkativeness, from inability to stop short, which has its origin in the diminished energy of old age, like #adoleschia#. The _garrulus_, in his efforts to please and entertain by light conversation, is silly and imbecile; the _loquax_, in his efforts to instruct, and make himself clearly understood, is often tedious. 3. +Garrulus+ and +loquax+ denote qualities of persons, speakers; +verbosus+, of things, speeches, and writings. (iii. 81.) GAUDERE; LÆTARI; HILARIS; ALACER; GESTIRE; EXSULTARE. 1. +Gaudere+ (from #gauros#) denotes joy as an inward state of mind, in opp. to _dolor_, like #hêdesthai#; whereas +lætari+ and +hilarem esse+, the utterance of joy. Tac. Hist. ii. 29. Ut valens processit, _gaudium_, miseratio, favor; versi in _lætitiam_ . . . . laudantes gratantesque. 2. The _lætus_ (from #lilaiomoi#) shows his joy in a calm cheerfulness, which attests perfect satisfaction with the present, in opp. to _moestus_, Tac. Ann. xv. 23; the _hilaris_ (#hilaros#) in awakened mirth, disposing to jest and laughter, in opp. to _tristis_; the _alacer_ (#alkê#) in energetic vivacity, evincing spirit and activity, in opp. to _territus_. Cic. Coel. 28. The _gaudens_, the _lætus_, the _hilaris_, derive joy from a piece of good fortune; the _alacer_ at the same time from employment and action. Cic. Divin. i. 33, 73. Equum _alacrem lætus_ adspexit. +Lætitia+ shows itself chiefly in an unwrinkled forehead, and a mouth curled for smiling; +hilaritas+, in eyes quickly moving, shining, and radiant with joy; +alacritas+, in eyes that roll, sparkle, and announce spirit. Sen. Ep. 116. Quantam serenitatem _lætitia_ dat. Tac. Agr. 39. Fronte _lætus_, pectore anxius. Cic. Pis. 5. Te _hilarioribus_ oculis quam solitus es intuente. 3. +Gaudere+ and +lætari+ denote a moderate; +exsultare+ and +gestire+, and perhaps the antiquated word +vitulari+, a passionate, uncontrolled joy, as to exult and triumph; the _gestiens_ (#gêthein#) discovers this by an involuntary elevation of the whole being, sparkling eyes, inability to keep quiet, etc.; the _exsultans_, by a voluntary, full resignation of himself to joy, which displays itself, if not by skipping and jumping, at least by an indiscreet outbreak of joy, bordering on extravagance. 4. +Jucundus+ denotes, like juvat me, a momentary excitement of joy; +lætus+, a more lasting state of joy; hence _lætus_ is used as the stronger expression, in Plin. Ep. v. 12. Quam mihi a quocunque excoli _jucundum_, a te vero _lætissimum_ est. (iii. 242.) GAZÆ, see _Divitiæ_. GELICIDIUM, GELIDUS, GELU, see _Frigere_. GEMERE, see _Suspirare_. GEMINUS, see _Duplex_. GENA, see _Mala_. GENERARE, see _Creare_. GENS; NATIO; POPULUS; CIVITAS. 1. +Gens+ and +natio+ denote a people, in a physical sense, in the description of nations, as a society originating in common descent and relationship, without any apparent reference to civilization; whereas +populus+ and +civitas+ denote a people in a political sense, as a society formed by civilization and compact. Sall. Cat. 10, 1. _Nationes_ feræ et _populi_ ingentes subacti. Cic. Rep. i. 25. 2. +Gens+ (#genetê#) includes all people of the same descent, like #phulon#; +natio+ (from #gnêsios#) a single colony of the same, like #ethnos#. Vell. P. ii. 98. Omnibus ejus _gentis nationibus_ in arma accensis. Tac. G. 2, 38. But as _gens_, in this physical sense, as the complex term for several colonies, has a more comprehensive meaning than _natio_, so has it, at the same time, in its political accessory meaning, as a clan, #genos#, or as the complex term for several families, a narrower meaning than _populus_; hence sometimes _populus_ forms, as a civilized _natio_, a part of the natural _gens_. Liv. iv. 49. Bolanis suæ _gentis populo_, and Virg. A. x. 202; sometimes +gens+, as a political society, forms a part of _populus_: Justin. vii. 1. Adunatis _gentibus_ variorum _populorum_. 3. +Civitas+ (from #keiô#) denotes the citizens of a town collectively, #polis#, merely with regard to their interior connection, as including the inhabitants who are in the enjoyment of the full rights of citizenship, and the lawful possessors of the land; +populus+ (redupl. of #polis#) means the people, #dêmos#, more commonly in reference to their social relations, interior and exterior, and with the included notion of belonging to the state. A people can determine upon war as a _civitas_; but can carry it on only as a _populus_. A _civitas_ is necessarily stationary; but a _populus_ may consist of _Nomades_, or wanderers from one pasture to another. GENS, GENUS, see _Stirps_. GERERE, see _Ferre_ and _Agere_. GESTIRE, see _Velle_ and _Gaudere_. GIGNERE, see _Creare_. GILVUS, see _Luteus_. GLABER, see _Lævis_. GLACIES, see _Frigere_. GLADIUS; ENSIS; PUGIO; SICA. 1. +Gladius+ (from #klados#) is the usual, +ensis+ (from ansa?) the select and poetical name for a sword. Quintil. x. 1, 11.

Virg. Æn. i. 414. Tendere _gressus_ ad moenia: comp. with ii. 723. Iulus sequitur patrem non _passibus_ æquis. (iv. 58.) GRÆCI; GRAII; GRÆCULI; GRÆCANICUS. 1. +Græci+ denotes the Greeks merely as a term in the description of different nations, and a historical name, without any accessory moral reference; whereas +Graii+, with praise, as the classical name for a nation of heroes in days of yore: +Græculi+, with blame, as the degenerate people, false and unworthy of trust, that existed in the times of the Roman writers. 2. +Græcum+ means what is really Grecian, whether in or out of Greece; but +Græcanicus+, what is made after the Grecian manner, what is merely à la Grecque.

Cic. Marc. ii. 33. Maximas tibi omnes _gratias agimus_; majores etiam _habemus_. Off. ii. 20. Inops etiamsi _referre gratiam_ non potest, _habere_ tamen potest. And Fam. v. 11. x. 11. Planc. 28. Balb. 1. Phil. iii. 2. 2. +Gratias agere+ is the usual; +grates agere+, a select and solemn form of speech. Cic. Somn. _Grates_ tibi _ago_, summe Sol, vobisque reliqui coelites. 3. In the same manner +gratulari+ denotes an occasional expression of thanks without oblation, and a congratulation without formality, whereas +gratari+, a solemn thanksgiving, or congratulation. Liv. vii. 3. Jovis templum _gratantes_ ovantesque adire: comp. with Ter. Heaut. v. 1, 6. Desine deos _gratulando_ obtundere. (ii. 213.) GRATUS; JUCUNDUS; ACCEPTUS; GRATIOSUS. 1. +Gratum+ (from #kecharêsthai#) means that which is acceptable only in reference to its value with us, as precious, interesting, and worthy of thanks; but +jucundum+ (from juvare) in reference to the joy which it brings us, as delightful. Cic. Att. iii. 24. Ista veritas etiam si _jucunda_ non est, mihi tamen _grata_ est. Fam. v. 18. Cujus officia _jucundiora_ scilicet sæpe mihi fuerunt, nunquam _gratiora_. And v. 15. xiii. 18. 2. +Gratus+ refers to the feeling, as wished for; +acceptus+, to its expression, as welcome. 3. The _gratus alicui_ meets with no antipathy, but is liked; the _gratiosus apud aliquem_ is the object of distinguished favor, and enthusiastic attachment, as the favorite or darling. (iii. 254.) GRAVIDUS, see _Prægnans_. GRAVITAS, see _Moles_ and _Severitas_. GREMIUM; SINUS. +Gremium+ is the lap, or surface formed by the knees in a sitting posture, and figuratively the symbol of the fostering care of a mother; whereas +sinus+, the bosom, between the two breasts, especially in the female sex, and figuratively the symbol of protection and refuge. Cic. Pis. 37. Ætolia procul a barbaris disjuncta gentibus in _sinu_ pacis posita medio fere Græciæ _gremio_ continetur. (vi. 150.) GRESSUS, see _Gradus_. GREX, see _Caterva_ and _Pecus_. GRUMUS, see _Collis_. GULA, see _Faux_. GURGES, see _Vorago_. GURGULIO, see _Faux_. GUSTUS, GUSTARE, see _Sapor_. GUTTA; STILLA; STIRIA. +Gutta+ is a natural, +stilla+ (#stilê#, #stalaxai#), an artificial measured drop. Further, the principal notion in +gutta+ is that of smallness, hence +guttatim+ means drop by drop; whereas in +stilla+ the principal notion is that of humidity, hence +stillatim+ means trickling or dripping. +Stilla+ means a liquid; +stiria+ (#sterea#) a frozen drop. (iii. 4.) GUTTUR, see _Faux_. GYRUS, see _Orbis_. H. HABENA, see _Frenum_. HABERE, see _Tenere_. HABITARE, see _Incolere_. HABITUS, see _Vestis_. HACTENUS, see _Adhuc_. HÆDUS, see _Caper_. HÆRERE; PENDERE. +Hærere+ (#cheiroô#?) means to stick, and not to be loose, or able to get forwards; +pendere+ (#petesthai#), to be suspended, and prevented from falling to the ground. Cic. Acad. ii. 39. Ut videamus terra penitusne defixa sit et radicibus suis _hæreat_, an media _pendeat_. (vi. 154.) HÆSITARE, see _Cunctari_. HARENA, see _Sabulo_. HARIOLARI; VATICINARI. +Hariolari+ (from #chran#) means to foretell, with the accessory notion of charlatanism, like #chrêsmologein#; whereas +vaticinari+ (from vates, #êchetês#,) to foretell, with the accessory notion of inspiration, like #manteuesthai#. In Cic. Divin. i. 2, _Hariolorum_ et _vatum_ furibundæ prædictiones, it is only the _harioli_, who from their position and in public estimation already pass for charlatans; whereas the _vates_ are charlatans only, as Cicero himself views them from his philosophical elevation.

Cic. Rosc. Am. 33, 93. Erat tum multitudo sicariorum . . . et homines impune occidebantur. . . Si eos putas . . . quos qui leviore nomine appellant, _percussores_ vocant, quæro in cujus fide sint et tutela. (iii. 191.)

HORNUS; HORNOTINUS. +Hornus+ (#chthesinos#) that which is of this year, as a poetical, +hornotinus+, as a prosaic word. HORRIDUS; HIRTUS; HIRSUTUS; HISPIDUS; ASPER. +Horridus+ (from #chersos#, #chortaios#), is the most general expression for whatever is rough and rugged, from want of formation; +hirtus+ and +hirsutus+ refer particularly to what is covered with rough hair, in opp. to what is soft and smooth; +hispidus+ and +asper+, to rough elevations, in opp. to what is level; +hispidus+, to the roughness that offends the eye; +asper+, to the roughness that causes pain.

Jug. 60. _Monere_ alii, alii _hortari_. Cat. 60. Nequidquam _hortere_ . . . Sed ego vos quo pauca _monerem_, convocavi. Sen. Ep. 13. Nimium diu te _cohortor_, cum tibi _admonitione_ magis quam _exhortatione_ opus sit. Cic. Fam. x. 40. Si aut aliter sentirem, certe _admonitio_ tua me reprimere, aut si dubitarem, _hortatio_ impellere posset. (i. 164.) HOSPES; ADVENTOR. +Hospes+ is the guest who visits his friend; +adventor+, the person who puts up at his host's. Sen. Benef. i. 14. Nemo se stabularii aut cauponis _hospitem_ judicat. (iv. 392.) HOSPES, see _Externus_. HOSPITIUM, see _Deversorium_. HOSTIS, see _Adversarius_. HUCUSQUE, see _Adhuc_. HUMANITAS; COMITAS; FACILITAS; CIVILITAS. +Humanitas+ is a virtue of universal extent, which, like the mental cultivation, proceeding from intelligence, ennobles the whole man in mind and heart, and gives to his nature mildness and philanthropy, as a principle; in opp. to _feritas_; +comitas+ (from #kosmos#) is a moral virtue, which, like affability, without respect to higher rank in society, treats every man as a man; +facilitas+, a social virtue, which, like complaisance, by forbearance and meeting the views of others, facilitates mutual intercourse in life, and makes it pleasant; +civilitas+, a political virtue, which, like the republican feeling of a prince, makes the specific difference between a ruler and his people unfelt, and treats his subjects as fellow-citizens. Nep. Milt. 8. In Miltiade erat quum summa _humanitas_, tum mira _comitas_, ut nemo tam humilis esset cui non ad eum aditus pateret. (v. 6.) HUMANITUS; HUMANE; HUMANITER. +Humanitus+ means in a human manner, in objective reference to the exterior condition of man, namely, that of weakness and mortality, like #anthrôpeiôs#, #anthrôpinôs#; whereas +humane+ and +humaniter+, in subjective reference to man's capacity for and propensity towards cultivation; _humane facere_ is the result of moral cultivation, like #philanthrôpôs#; _humaniter facere_ is the result of social cultivation, like #epieikôs#. (v. 8.) HUMARE, see _Sepelire_. HUMERUS, see _Armus_. HUMIDUS, see _Udus_. HUMUS, see _Tellus_. I & J. JACERE, see _Cubare_. JACTATIO; GLORIATIO; OSTENTATIO; VENDITATIO. +Jactatio+ and +gloriatio+ have their foundation in vanity and self-complacency; +jactatio+ is making much ado of one's excellencies and merits, and shows itself in words and actions, with the accessory notion of folly; +gloriatio+ is talking big, proclaiming one's excellencies and merits, with the accessory notion of insolence; whereas +ostentatio+ and +venditatio+ have their foundation in a crafty calculation of the effect to be produced, and a disregard to truth; +ostentatio+ would conceal real emptiness under a false show; +venditatio+ would, by exaggerating one's excellencies, pass them off for greater than they are. JACTURA, see _Amittere_ and _Damnum_. JACULUM, see _Missile_. JANUA, see _Ostium_. ICERE, see _Verberare_. IDONEUS; APTUS. +Idoneus+ denotes a passive, +aptus+ an active fitness for any thing. F. A. Wolf. Or, the _idoneus_ is fitted by his qualifications, and, through outward circumstances, for any particular destination, like the #epitêdeios#; the aptus (from potis, potens), by his worth and adequacy, like #hikanos#. The _idoneus_ is in himself inactive, and suffers himself to be employed for a particular purpose, for which he is qualified; the _aptus_ himself engages in the business, because he is adequate to it. (iii. 276.) IGNARUS, see _Cognitio_. IGNAVIA; INERTIA; SEGNITIA; DESIDIA; SOCORDIA; PIGRITIA. 1. +Ignavia+ denotes the love of idleness, in an +ideal+ sense, inasmuch as the impulse to action distinguishes the more noble from the ordinary man, and gives him an +absolute+ value; in opp. to _industria_, Tac. Ann. xii. 12. xvi. 18; whereas +inertia+ denotes the love of idleness in a _real tangible_ sense, inasmuch as activity makes a man a useful member of society, and gives him a relative value. +Ignavia+ is inherent in the temperament, and has no inclination for action; +inertia+ lies in the character and habits, and has no desire to work. A lazy slave is called _inors_; a person of rank, that passes his time in doing nothing, is _ignavus_. 2. +Segnitia+, +desidia+, +socordia+, and +pigritia+, are the faults of a too easy temperament. +Segnitia+ (from sequi, #oknos#,) wants rousing, or compulsion, and must be conquered, before it resigns its ease, in opp. to _promptus_. Tac. Agr. 21. +Desidia+ (from sedere) lays its hands on its lap, and expects that things will happen of themselves; +socordia+ is susceptible of no lively interest, and neglects its duties from want of thought, like phlegm; +pigritia+ has an antipathy to all motion, and always feels best in a state of absolute bodily rest, like slothfulness. (iv. 212.) IGNAVIA, see _Vereri_. IGNOMINIA; INFAMIA; DEDECUS; PROBRUM; OPPROBRIUM. 1. +Ignominia+ deprives one of political honor, which is independent of the reports circulated concerning a man, and is the consequence of an official denunciation, the justice of which is supposed; that of the censor, for example, like #atimia#; whereas +infamia+ deprives one of moral honor, of one's good name, has a reference to public scorn, and is the consequence of shameless and dishonorable conduct, like #dusphêmia#. 2. +Ignominia+ and +infamia+ are abstract, and denote subjective states; +dedecus+ and +probrum+ are concrete, and denote, objectively, disgrace itself; +dedecus+ is a deviation from the conduct that becomes a man of honor, from whom noble actions are expected; +probrum+ is a stain on the morality of a man, from whom, at least, irreproachable conduct is expected. +Dedecus+ is incurred generally in our public relations, by abjectness of spirit, etc.; +probrum+, in our private relations, by licentiousness, etc. 3. +Probrum+ (from #propherô# is reproach, as far as it can justly be made; +opprobrium+, reproach, as far as it actually is made. In _probrum_ the disgrace itself is more considered; in _opprobrium_, the open proclamation of it. IGNOSCERE; VENIAM DARE. +Ignoscere+ (#anagignôskein#) is a moral act; as, to forgive from one's heart; to forgive and forget, in opp. to retaining anger, #sungignôskein#; whereas +veniam dare+ (#anian# or #anesin dounai#) is a political act, to allow clemency to take place of justice, in opp. to punishment, like #methienai#. The friend _ignoscit_ a person of his own rank; one who is of higher rank and greater power _veniam dat_. Cic. Man. 3. Illis imperatoribus laus est tribuenda quod egerunt; _venia danda_ quod reliquerunt; comp. with Att. xvi. 16. _Ignosce_ mihi quod eadem de re sæpius scribam. (v. 170.) ILIA, see _Caro_. ILLICO, see _Repente_. ILLUSTRIS, see _Celeber_ and _Luculentus_. IMAGO; SIMULACRUM; STATUA; SIGNUM. 1. +Imago+ and +simulacrum+ denote, as the most general terms, any representation, whether a work of statuary or of painting; +imago+ (#mêchanê#) is allied to the original, as to a pattern, by a striking likeness of form, like #eikôn#; +simulacrum+ is opposed to the original, as a real being, by a deceptive imitation of its form, like #eidôlon#; whereas +statua+, +signum+, and +effigies+, are merely plastic works; +tabula+ and +pictura+, merely pictures. 2. +Simulacrum+ and +statua+ denote the copying of the whole figure, consequently, in the plastic art, standing figures; +effigies+ and +imago+, principally the copying of the characteristic parts, namely, the features; +effigies+, in statuary, as busts; +imago+, in painting, as half-length portraits. Tac. Ann. i. 74. Alia in _statua_ amputato capite Augusti _effigiem_ Tiberii inditam. Hist. ii. 3. _Simulacrum_ deæ _effigie_ humana. Cic. Tusc. iii. 2, 3. Optimus quisque consectatur nullam eminentem _effigiem_ (virtutis) sed adumbratam _imaginem_ gloriæ. +Signum+ (from sequo, to proclaim,) means any plastic work, in opp. to _tabulæ_ and _picturæ_. Sal. Cat. 11. Cic. Orat. i. 35. Man. 14. Suet. Cæs. 47. Quintil. ix. 2. Cic. Verr. iv. 1; +simulacrum+ means the sacred statue of a god, like #agalma#; +statua+, the profane statue of a man, like #andrias#. Cic. Cat. iii. 8. _Simulacra_ deorum immortalium depulsa sunt et _statuæ_ veterum hominum dejectæ. Tac. Ann. i. 73. Suet. Tib. 26. Cic. Verr. i. 22. Legati deorum _simulacra_ venerabantur, itemque cætera _signa_ et ornamenta lacrimantes intuebantur. (v. 237.) IMBER, see _Pluvia_. IMITATIO; ÆMULATIO; CERTATIO; RIVALITAS; SIMULATIO. 1. +Imitari+ means merely the effort to produce something like some other thing, without any accessory moral notion; +æmulari+ (from #aisimos#) means, at the same time, to do something which shall gain equal or superior consideration, honor, and approbation, when compared with the thing imitated. +Imitatio+ has in view only the thing itself, and is generally moderate and laudable; +æmulatio+ has in view chiefly the person, who is already in possession of the quality worthy of imitation, and always seems more or less a passion, which deserves praise or blame, according as it has its foundation in the lover of honor, or in immoderate ambition. Plin. Ep. vii. 30. Demosthenis orationem habui in manibus, non ut _æmularer_ (improbum enim ac pæne furiosum) at tamen _imitarer_ ac sequerer tantum. Comp. i. 2, 2. viii. 5, 13. Quintil. i. 2, 26. Cic. Tusc. iv. 8, 17. 2. The +æmulus+ is at first behind his opponent, and strives for a time only to come up to him, and be like him; whereas the +certator+ and +concertator+ are already on a par with their opponent, and strive to outdo him, and conquer him. 3. +Æmulatio+ contends for superiority in any art; +rivalitas+, only for preference in estimation. Cic. Tusc. iv. 26, 56. Illa vitiosa _æmulatione_, quæ _rivalitati_ similis est, quid habet utilitatis? 4. +Imitatio+ is an effort to become something which a man at present is not, but fain would be, and really can become; whereas +simulatio+, an effort to pass for something which a man properly and naturally is not, nor ever can be. +Imitatio+ is the means of attaining to an actual or presumptive ideal; whereas +simulatio+ remains for ever a mere counterfeit. (iii. 64.) IMPAR, see _Æquus_. IMPENSÆ, see _Sumptus_. IMPERARE, see _Jubere_. IMPERTIRE; TRIBUERE; PARTICIPARE; COMMUNICARE. +Impertire+ and +tribuere+ denote giving a portion, without reference to any share, which the giver is to retain for himself; +impertire+ means giving, as an act of free will and of goodness; +tribuere+, as an act of justice, or of judiciousness; whereas +participare+ and +communicare+, the giving a share of something of which one also retains a share one's self; +participare+ has generally the receiver for its object, who is to share a possession; but +communicare+, generally the thing shared, in the use of which the receiver is to have a share. (iv. 158.) IMPIETAS, see _Delictum_. IMPIUS, see _Scelestus_. IMPONERE, see _Fallere_. IMUS; INFIMUS. +Imum+ (superl. from in) denotes the lowest part of a whole; +infimum+ (superl. from inferus) either the lowest part of all the parts, that is, the basis, or the lowest in a discrete magnitude, that is, a magnitude consisting of distinct parts. The _imum_ is the lowest extremity of a part; then the _infimum_, the lowest part, with reference to the other parts. Cic. Rosc. Com. 7. Ab _imis_ unguibus usque ad summum verticem: compare with Divin. i. 33. Ut ab _infima_ ara subito anguis emergeret; and with N. D. ii. 20. Luna _infima_ est quinque errantium. Further, +imus+ denotes the lowest in a purely local relation; +infimus+, with the accessory notion of the lowest rank. (iv. 377.) INAMBULARE, see _Ambulare_. INANIS; VACUUS. +Inanis+ (from #inaô#) means the emptiness of that which has been full, but is now without its contents, in opp. to _plenus_, Cic. Orat. i. 9, 37. Parad. 6, 1. Brut. 8, 34; whereas +vacuus+ denotes the emptiness of that which may be filled, but is at present vacant, in opp. to _occupatus_, Tac. Hist. iv. 17; or to _obsessus_, Cic. N. T. i. 24. Tac. Ann. vi. 34. Jason post avectam Medeam genitosque ex ea liberos _inanem_ mox regiam Æetæ _vacuosque_ Colchos repetivit; that is, the palace deserted and desolate, and the people without a governor. Figuratively, +inane+ means a nullity; +vacuum+, a vacancy. (i. 100.) INCASSUM, see _Frustra_. INCASTUS, see _Inficetus_. INCEDERE, see _Ire_. INCENDERE, see _Accendere_. INCESTUS, see _Inficetus_. INCHOARE, see _Incipere_. INCIENS, see _Prægnans_. INCIPERE; ORDIRI; INCHOARE; COEPISSE. 1. +Incipere+ denotes the beginning, in opp. to the state of rest, which precedes and follows, consequently it is in opp. to _cessare_ and _desinere_, _desistere_, _finire_; whereas +ordiri+ (from #erdein#, radix,) in opp. to an advancement; consequently in opp. to _continuare_, and its intransitive _pergere_; lastly, +inchoare+ (from conari) in opp. to ending and accomplishing, consequently in opp. to _perficere_, _consummare_, _peragere_, _absolvere_, etc. Cic. Off. i. 37. Ut _incipiendi_ ratio fuerit, ita sit _desinendi_ modus. Tusc. i. 49. Sen. Ep. 116. Plin. H. N. xi. 51. Plin. Pan. 54, 6. 57, 2. Ep. ix. 4. Quintil. xi. 3, 34. Tac. Agr. 32. Varro R. R. iii. 16. Apes cum evolaturæ sunt, aut etiam _inciperunt_, consonant vehementer. Cic. Fin. iv. 6. Hoc _inchoati_ cujusdam officii est, non _perfecti_. Brut. 33. Liv. xl. 9. Plin. Ep. iii. 8, 7. Plin. H. N. x. 63. Tac. Dial. 33. Suet. Claud. 3. Cic. Fr. ap. Non. _Perge_, quæso, nec enim imperite exorsus es. 2. +Coepi+ has nearly the same words in opp. to it as _incipere_ has; Sen. Cons. Polyb. 20. Quicquid _coepit_, et desinit. Cic. Rab. Post. 2. Ovid, Ep. ix. 23; +coepi+ refers more to the action which is begun; +incepi+, more to the beginning which has been made. +Coepi+ is a sort of auxiliary verb; +incepi+ is emphatic; hence +coepi+ has an infinitive, +incipere+ a substantive, for its object. Cic. Verr. v. 10. Quum ver esse _coeperat_ (sed cum rosam viderat, tum ver _incipere_ arbitrabatur), dabat se labori. (iii. 157.) INCITARE; INSTIGARE; IRRITARE; INSTINCTUS. 1. +Incitare+ (from ciere) denotes to urge an inactive person by merely bidding, speaking to, and calling upon him, to an action, generally of a laudable kind, synonymously with _hortari_; +instigare+ (from #stixai#) to spur on a reluctant person by more vehement exhortations, promises, threatenings, to an adventurous act, synonymously with _stimulare_; +irritare+ (#anerethizô#) to incite a quiet person by rousing his passions, ambition, revenge, to a violent action, synonymously with _exarcerbare_. Ter. And. iv. 2, 9. Age, si hic non insanit satis sua sponte, _instiga_. Lucr. iv. 1075. Et stimuli subsunt qui _instigant_ lædere id upsum. 2. +Instigatus+ means spurred on by an exterior and profane power, by words, commands, etc.; +instinctus+ means impelled by an interior and higher power, by inspiration, love, the voice of the gods. (iii. 314.) INCLYTUS, see _Celeber_. INCOLERE; HABITARE; INCOLA; INQUILINUS; COLONUS. 1. +Incolere+ is transitive, as to inhabit; +habitare+, intransitive, as to dwell. At the same time +incolere+ has reference to the country, to which a man, as a citizen or inhabitant, belongs; whereas +habitare+ has reference to the house, in which a man, as owner or tenant, has his stationary residence. 2. +Incola+ is the inhabitant, in opp. to the citizen, Cic. Off. i. 34, like #metoikos#; +inquilinus+, the tenant, in opp. to the owner of the house, _dominus_, Cic. Phil. ii. 41, like #sunoikos#; +colonus+, the farmer, in opp. to the landowner, Cic. Cæc. 32; something like #thês#. INCOLUMIS, see _Salvus_. INCUNABULA, see _Cunæ_. INCURIOSUS, see _Tutus_. INCURVUS, see _Curvus_. INCUSARE, see _Arguere_. INDAGARE, see _Quærere_. INDIGERE, see _Carere_. INDIGNARI, see _Succensere_. INDOLES, see _Ingenium_. INDULGERE, see _Concedere_. INDUSTRIA, see _Opera_. INEDIA, see _Fames_. INERTIA, see _Ignavia_. INFAMIA, see _Ignominia_. INFANS, see _Puer_. INFENSUS, INFESTUS, see _Adversarius_. INFICETUS; INFACETUS; INCESTUS; INCASTUS. 1. +Inficetus+ involves positive blame, a tasteless and heavy fellow; whereas +infacetus+ only negative, a man not remarkable for wit. 2. In the same manner +incestus+ denotes an incestuous person; whereas +incastus+ only an unchaste person. Sen. Contr. ii. 13. (ii. 83.) INFIDELIS, INFIDUS, see _Fidus_. INFIMUS, see _Imus_. INFITIARI, INFITIAS IRE, see _Negare_. INFLAMMARE, see _Accendere_. INFORTUNIUM; CALAMITAS; INFELICITAS; MISERIA. +Infortunium+ and +calamitas+ denote a single misfortune; +infortunium+, more as a vexatious accident, like malheur, for example, the loss of a purse, receiving blows, etc.; +calamitas+ (from #kolouô#) a tragic accident, as the loss of a beloved person, of power, etc.; whereas +infelicitas+ and +miseria+ denote an unfortunate state of considerable duration; +infelicitas+, merely as the absence of success; +miseria+ (from #musaros#?) as an actual, pressing state of affliction. INGENIUM; NATURA; INDOLES. +Ingenium+ and +natura+ denote the disposition, as far as it constitutes the immovable ground of human individuality, and is susceptible of no change; +ingenium+, more with reference to the faculties of the mind, +natura+ to the feelings of the heart; whereas +indoles+ denotes the disposition, as far as it constitutes only the beginning of individuality, and is susceptible of improvement. (vi. 172.) INGLUVIES, see _Faux_. INGREDI, see _Inire_ and _Ire_. INGRUERE, see _Irruere_. INIMICITIA, see _Odium_. INIMICUS, see _Adversarius_. INIRE; INTRARE; INTROIRE; INGREDI. 1. +Inire+ denotes almost always only a figurative entering, as to engage in any thing, for example, _inire pugnam_, _numerum_, etc.; whereas +intrare+, +introire+, +ingredi+, a literal entering; +intrare+ is usually transitive, as to enter, and has an emphasis on the verbal part of the word; whereas +introire+ is intransitive, as to step in, and has an emphasis on the adverbial part of the word. In the phrase _intrare curiam_ one thinks more of the mere threshold, which is to be stepped over; in the phrase _introire_ one thinks more of the four walls by which one is to be enclosed. 2. +Intrare+ and +introire+ suppose a space distinctly limited by walls, boundaries, marks; whereas +ingredi+ supposes, generally, any limited space, for example, _viam_, _pontem_, etc. (iv. 521.) INITIUM; PRINCIPIUM; PRIMORDIUM. 1. +Initium+ denotes the beginning in an abstract sense, as the mere point from which a thing begins, in opp. to _exitus_. Cic. Rosc. Com. 13, 39. Tusc. i. 38. Brut. 34. Sen. Ep. 9. N. Q. iii. 29; whereas +principium+ denotes the beginning as a concrete notion, as that part of the whole which stands before the other parts in things, and goes before them in actions, in opp. to _extremum_. Cic. Cleunt. 4. Orat. 61, 204. Cæc. 15, 44. In _initium_ the beginning is made only with reference to time; in _principium_ the foundation also is laid with reference to space. The _initium_ is pushed out of the way by that which follows; the _principium_ serves as a basis for that which follows. The _initia philosophiæ_ are the rudiments over which the scholar goes, and which are superseded by further studies; the _principia_ are the fundamental principles, to which he must always recur. +Initio+ usually means "at the beginning, but differently (or, not at all) afterwards;" whereas +principio+ means from the very beginning, and so onwards. 2. +Primordium+ is a more solemn and comprehensive term than _principium_, and supposes a whole of great extent, the beginning of which is so far removed that one can distinguish a merely apparent beginning from the actual and primeval source and origin. (iii. 163.) INJURIA, see _Contumelia_. INNOCENTIA, see _Virtus_. INNUMERUS; INNUMERABILIS. +Innumerus+ is a poetical and choice expression, like numberless, #anêrithmos#; +innumerabilis+, a prosaic and usual expression, like innumerable, #anarithmêtos#. (vi. 173.)

INSIGNIS, see _Eminens_. INSIMULARE, see _Arguere_. INSOLENTIA, see _Superbia_. INSOMNIS, see _Vigil_. INSOMNIUM, see _Somnus_. INSTIGARE, see _Incitare_. INSTITUERE; INSTAURARE; RESTITUERE; RESTAURARE. +Instituere+ means to establish a profane, +instaurare+, a sacred, or honorable, or generally important institution, such as sacrifices, sacred games, wars and battles. Hence is _instituere_ itself a usual, _instaurare_, a solemn, select expression. In the same manner _restituere_ is distinguished from _restaurare_. (iv. 300.) INSTITUERE, see _Erudire_. INSTRUCTUS, see _Præditus_. INSUPER, see _Præterea_. INTEGER, see _Salvus_. INTEGRARE, see _Iterum_. INTELLIGERE; SENTIRE; COGNOSCERE. +Intelligere+ denotes a rational discernment, by means of reflection and combination; +sentire+, a natural discernment, by means of the feelings, immediate images, or perceptions, whether of the senses or of the mind; lastly, +cognoscere+ denotes an historical discernment, by means of the senses and of tradition. Sen. Ir. iii. 13. Quidni gauderet, quod iram suam multi _intelligerent_, nemo _sentiret_? Cic. N. D. iii. 24. Quare autem in his vis deorum insit, tum _intelligam_ quum _cognovero_. (vi. 175.) INTERCAPEDO; INTERRUPTIO; INTERPELLATIO; INTERLOCUTIO. +Intercapedo+ and +interruptio+ are any interruption of another person's business; +intercapedo+, a quiet, often even a benevolent interruption; +interruptio+, a violent and turbulent interruption; whereas +interpellatio+ and +interlocutio+ are only the interruption of a speech by speaking between; the _interpellator_ will nearly prevent the speaker from going on; the _interlocutor_ will make himself also heard in the midst of another's speech. (vi. 176.) INTERDICERE, see _Vetare_. INTERDIU, see _Dies_. INTERDUM, see _Nonnunquam_. INTEREA; INTERIM. +Interea+ refers to a business of some duration, which takes place in a space of time, as in the mean time; +interim+, to a momentary business, as in the midst of this. They have the same relation to each other, as a point of time to a space of time. Cic. Quint. 6. Hæc dum Romæ geruntur . . . Quintius _interea_ de agro detruditur; that is, gradually; comp. with Fam. x. 12. _Interim_ ad me venit Manutius noster. Tac. Ann. xi. 32. Non rumor _interea_, sed undique nuntii incedunt . . . Atque _interim_ Ostiensem viam intrat. (iv. 271.) INTEREMTOR, see _Homicida_. INTERESSE, see _Adesse_. INTERFECTOR, see _Homicida_. INTERFICERE; PERIMERE; INTERIMERE; NECARE; OCCIDERE; JUGULARE; OBTRUNCARE; TRUCIDARE; PERCUTERE. +Interficere+ and +perimere+ are the most general expressions for putting to death, in whatever manner, and from whatever motive, _fame_, _veneno_, _suspendio_, _ferro_, _suppliciis_, _dolo_, like #kteinein#; but +interficere+ as a usual, +perimere+ as an old, forcible, poetical expression. +Interimere+ involves the accessory notion of privacy, as to remove out of the way; #anairein#; +necare+, that of injustice, or, at least, cruelty, to murder, #phoneuein#. Cic. Tusc. v. 20. Dionysius alterum jussit _interfici_, quia viam demonstravisset _interimendi_ sui. Curt. ix. 7, 8. Boxum protinus placuit _interfici_; Biconem etiam per cruciatus _necari_. 2. +Occidere+, +jugulare+, +trucidare+, +obtruncare+, +percutere+, denote a sanguinary death-blow; +occidere+ means by cutting down, especially the business of the soldier in honorable open battle; +jugulare+, by cutting the throat or neck, or rather by a skilfully-directed thrust into the collar-bone, especially the business of the bandit, after the pattern of the gladiator, like #sphaxai#; +obtruncare+ means to butcher, massacre, and cut to pieces, after the manner of the awkward murderer; +trucidare+, to slaughter as one would a steer, after the manner of the blood-thirsty miscreant, who, without meeting with resistance, plays the hero on the defenceless; +percutere+, to execute, as a mere mechanical act, after the manner of the headsman, or other executioner of a sentence of condemnation, or, at least, of a death-warrant. Senec. Contr. iii. 21. Nec dominum _occidit_, nec domino venenum dedit. Hor. Ep. i. 2. Ut _jugulent_ hominem, surgunt de nocte latrones. Sallust. Fr. Cæteri vice pecorum _obtruncantur_; so that you may see a mangled mass of limbs, as in the heap of slain in a battle. Tac. Hist. . . . Juberet _interfici_; offerre se corpora iræ; _trucidaret_. Cic. Cat. iv. 6. and Rosc. Am. 34. Cujus consilio _occisus_ sit invenio; cujus manu _percussus_ sit non invenio. (iii. 181.) [[INTERIM, see _Interea_.]] INTERITUS, see _Lues_ and _Mors_. INTERLOCUTIO, see _Intercapedo_. INTERMITTERE; OMITTERE. +Intermittere+ means merely to leave off for a time,--in tempus mittere cum spe consilioque resumendi; whereas +omittere+, to leave out altogether. Varro Fr. Studia tantum _intermittantur_, ne _omittantur_. (i. 3.) INTERMORI, see _Mors_. INTERPELLATIO, see _Intercapedo_. INTERROGARE, see _Rogare_. INTERRUPTIO, see _Intercapedo_. INTESTINA, see _Caro_. INTRARE, INTROIRE, see _Inire_. INTUERI, see _Videre_. I NUNC, see _Agere_. INVADERE, see _Irruere_. INVALETUDO, see _Æger_. INVENIRE; REPERIRE; DEPREHENDERE; NANCISCI; ADIPISCI; CONSEQUI; ASSEQUI. +Invenire+ denotes, as a general term, to find; +reperire+ and +deprehendere+ suppose a previous concealment of the thing found, and an intention, and pains employed on the part of the finder; but the _reperiens_ (from #peparein#) merely discovers what was concealed, and now lies before his eyes, like #aneurein#; the _deprehendens_, what desired to hide itself, or to escape, and now is in his power. Tac. Ann. i. 74. Perniciem aliis ac postremo sibi _invenere_: comp. with xiv. 3. Cædes quonam modo occultaretur nemo _reperit_. 2. +Invenire+, +reperire+, +deprehendere+, imply a concealed object, which is discovered; whereas +nancisci+, +adipisci+, +assequi+, and +consequi+, only a distant object, which is reached; the _nanciscens_ (from #enenkesthai#) arrives at his object with or without trouble, sometimes even against his wish, as to light upon; the _adipiscens_ (from potiri) only by exertion, as to achieve; the _consequens_ arrives at the object of his wish with or without assistance; the _assequens_, at the object of his endeavors, by means of exertion. Suet. Tib. 10. Titus ad primam statim mansionem febrim _nactus_: comp. with Dom. 15. Nero in _adipiscenda_ morte manu Epaphroditi adjutus est. Cic. Att. x. 12. _Nactus_ Curionem omnia me _consecutum_ putavi. Rosc. Com. 4. Ut neque nihil neque tantum quantum postulavimus _consequamur_. In Cic. Mil. 11. Nihil dico quid resp. _consecuta_ sit, nihil quod vos, nihil quod omnes boni; namely, by the death of Clodius, to which certainly nobody but Milo had contributed; _assecuta sit_ could not be substituted; and, on the other hand, in Sen. Brev. 17. Operose _assequuntur_ quæ volunt, anxii tenent quæ _assecuti_ sunt; the word _consequuntur_ would be too weak. Cic. Fam. i. 7, 10. Omnia quæ ne per populum quidem sine seditione _assequi_ arbitrabantur, per senatum _consecuti_ sunt. (iii. 142.) INVERTERE, see _Vertere_. INVESTIGARE, s. _Quærere_. INVICEM, see _Vicissim_. INVIDIA; LIVOR; INVIDENTIA; MALIGNITAS; OBTRECTATIO; DETRECTATIO. +Invidia+ denotes looking askance, as a sign that a man grudges something to another, from moral or immoral motives, not _necessarily_, though especially, from self-love, like #hupopsia#; whereas +livor+ (from #chleuê#, or #chloia#), denotes the self-tormenting envy, which poisons the whole soul, and deprives the body itself of its fresh healthy color. 2. +Invidia+ is the usual term for envy, whether active, as that which a man harbors, or passive, as a state in which a man stands; whereas +invidentia+ is a new term of Cicero's for the envy which a man harbors. 3. +Invidia+ and +livor+ denote envy as a temporary state, whereas +malignitas+ as an habitual quality and disposition, in opp. to goodness of heart. The _invidus_ and _lividus_ grudge particular persons particular advantages, in particular cases; but the _malignus_ wishes well to nobody but himself. 4. +Invidia+, +livor+, +malignitas+, denote a feeling and state of mind, whereas +obtrectatio+ denotes an action, or manner of acting, proceeding from this feeling, inasmuch as it seeks to injure the envied person by dishonorable means, namely, detraction. _Obtrectatio_ can scarcely be conceived as existing without _invidia_, but _invidia_ may without _obtrectatio_, if the envious person is too cowardly to enter into conflict with the envied. 5. +Obtrectatio+ supposes a rival, and has its origin in jealousy; whereas +detrectatio+ only an enemy in general, and proceeds principally from antipathy. (iii. 65.) INVIDIA, see _Odium_. JOCUS, see _Ludus_. IRASCI, see _Succensere_. IRE; MEARE; GRADIRI; INGREDI; INCEDERE; VADERE. 1. +Ire+ and +meare+ denote to go, in the most general sense, as motion from one place to another; +ire+ especially applies to persons, in consequence of an act of the will, like #ienai#; but +meare+ (from #ameuô#) especially to beasts, ships, rivers, stars, as mere mechanical motion, in which reason has no share, like #phoitan#; whereas +gradiri+ and +ingredi+, +incedere+ and +vadere+, with particular accessory notions in regard to the manner of going; +gradiri+ and +ingredi+, in a quiet manner, and with a regular measured step, in opp. to _serpere_, _currere_, _stare_; Cic. N. D. ii. 47. Att. ii. 23, like #badizein#; +incedere+, in a proud manner, and with a graceful measured step, as in a procession and march, in opp. to _ambulare_; Sen. N. Q. vii. 31, like #embainein#; and +vadere+ (#elthein#?) with alacrity and a quick step, as in travelling, and in attacking the enemy, in opp. to repere? like #chôrein#; Thuc. v. 70. 2. +Ingressus+ means going in general; +incessus+ a manner of going peculiar to the individual, and by which he is known as well as by his physiognomy. +Ingressus+ is purely physical; +incessus+ is moral and characteristic. (iv. 53.) IRRIDERE, see _Ridere_. IRRITARE, see _Incitare_ and _Lacessere_. IRRITUS, see _Frustra_.

Sen. Ep. 63. Nec sicci sint oculi amisso amico, nec fluant; _lacrimandum_ est, non _plorandum_. 2. +Lamentari+ and +ejulare+ denote a higher degree of _ploratus_; but +lamentatio+ (from #klauma#?) is, like #kôkuein#, a longer continued wailing; +ejulare+ (from #eia#) a wailing interrupted by cries and sobs, like #ololuzein#. 3. +Plorare+ and +flere+ are intransitive verbs, as to weep; +deplorare+ and +deflere+ transitive, as to deplore.

The trace by which the _equus funalis_ is attached; the rope on which the _funambulus_ balances himself; the tow which draws the boat to the ship, are never rendered in prose by _restis_: whereas the rope with which the self-murderer hangs himself, or the slave is whipped, or the garment girded, is seldom rendered by _funis_, unless the poet gives the preference to the last word as a more elevated term. (v. 36.) 2. +Rudentes+ are the sail ropes; +retinacula+, and +oræ+, the cables or anchor-ropes; +retinacula+, as a more general and popular term; +oræ+, +oras+, +solvere+, as more technical expressions in nautical language.

The _benignus_ follows a pure impulse of humanity, love towards his fellow men; the _liberalis_, a noble pride, or feeling of self-respect; the _munificus_, a princely feeling, or, at any rate, a feeling of laudable ambition. _Benignitas_ gives richly, because it has no wish to possess and enjoy alone, like goodness; _liberalitas_ gives as much as, and not less than, a man of noble sentiment believes suitable to his own rank and to another's merits, without scrupulous mercantile calculation, like a gentlemanly spirit; _munificentia_ gives rather too much than too little, from the pleasure of making people happy, and causing an agreeable surprise, like generosity.

Cic. Orat. 30. Demosthenes non tam _dicax_ fuit, quam _facetus_. Est autem illud acrioris ingenii, hoc majoris artis. (v. 21). LETUM, see _Mors_. LEVIS, see _Lævis_. LIBARE, see _Sapor_. LIBENTER, see _Sponte_. LIBERALIS, see _Largus_. LIBERALITAS, see _Donum_. LIBERTUS; LIBERTINUS. +Libertus+ means the freed-man, with reference to his master, in opp. to _servus_; Cic. Mil. 33. Sext. 35. Tac. G. 25. Suet. Cæs. 75; +libertinus+, with reference to his rank, in opp. to _civis_ and _ingenuus_. Liv. x. 21. xli. 8. Suet. Cl. 54. Senec. Contr. iii. 21. Quærendus mihi gener erat aliquis _libertinus_; quid ergo? alieno potius _liberto_? Cic. Verr. i. 47. Trebonius fecit heredem _libertum_ suum . . . Equiti Romano _libertinus_ homo fit heres. Suet. Cl. 25. Tac. H. iii. 58. (vi. 194.) LIBIDO, see _Cupido_. LIBRA; PONDO. +Libra pondo+ is the full expression, literally a balance in weight, that is, a scale, filled so as to balance a pound; +libra+ (#leios#) is a less definite expression, inasmuch as leaving out the _pondo_, makes it doubtful whether the balance itself be not understood; +pondo+ is an elliptical expression, in which the principal notion, weight, is expressed, and the accessory notion left out; the scale that is filled must balance the definite weight. In a similar manner _operæ pretium est_, is distinguished from _operæ est_, and from _pretium est_. (vi. 195.) LIBRARE; VIBRARE. +Librare hastam+ (from #leios#) means to raise the spear in a horizontal direction, in order to hurl it with greater force, and with a surer aim; +vibrare+ (#huphê#) to brandish it backwards and forwards, or up and down, that is, either in a horizontal or perpendicular direction, in order to testify an eager desire for the combat.

Cic. Fin. i. 3, 10. Sæpe disserui Latinam _linguam_ non modo non inopem, sed locupletiorem etiam esse quam Græcam: comp. with Off. i. 31. _Sermone_ debemus uti eo, qui notus est nobis. (iv. 22.)

LITERÆ; ARTES; DOCTRINÆ; DISCIPLINÆ. +Literæ+ and +artes+ denote the sciences as the general objects of scientific education; +literæ+, in a narrower sense, only as literature, or the sciences so far as they are laid down in books, and, together with other branches of knowledge, enrich the mind, and are the means of sharpening the understanding and forming the taste, +artes+ (#aretai#?) in the widest sense, so far as the knowledge of them immediately attests intellectual cultivation, and readiness in the practical application of the sciences; whereas +doctrinæ+ and +disciplinæ+ denote particular parts of the general objects of knowledge formed into systems; +doctrinæ+, more the speculative and abstract parts of philosophical and learned education; +disciplinæ+, more the practical parts, that are conducive to the purposes of life.

H. N. xxxvii. 2. _Splendor_ murrhinis sine viribus: _nitor_que verius quam _splendor_; for _splendor_ denotes brightness, with regard to its intensity; _nitor_, with regard to its beauty. Auct. ad Herenn. iv. 50. Gemmæ _nitore_ et auri _splendore_: hence, figuratively, +splendor+ denotes pomp; +nitor+, only neatness. (ii. 76.) LUCERNA, see _Candela_. LUCRUM; EMOLUMENTUM; QUÆSTUS; COMPENDIUM. +Lucrum+ and +emolumentum+ denote gain, in any condition of life; +lucrum+ (from lucar, locare,) gain deserved and earned by one's self, in opp. to _damnum_; Cic. Fin. v. 30, etc.; like #kerdos#; +emolumentum+ (from molere) gain falling to one's share without any exertion of one's own, in opp. to _detrimentum_; Cic. Fin. i. 16, like #ôphelêma#; whereas +quæstus+ and +compendium+ denote gain in the course of trade; +quæstus+, rather the steadily continued gains of a regular occupation, _earnings_, in opp. to _sumptus_; Cic. Parad. vi. 3. Hor. Sat. i. 2. 19, like #chrêmatismos#; +compendium+, more a single gain of considerable amount, in opp. to _dispendium_. (v. 257.) LUCTUS, see _Dolor_.

Cum Græce ut videor _luculenter_ sciam, without presumption; just like, sic satis. (ii. 84.) LUCUS, see _Silva_. LUDIO, see _Actor_. LUDUS; SCHOLA. +Ludus+ is a lower school for boys, who are compelled to learn; +schola+, a higher school for youths and men, who wish to learn. +Ludus+ supposes _discipulos_, _ludi-magistrum_, and school-discipline; +schola+ supposes _auditores_, _doctorem_, and academical regulations.

Plin. Ep. ix. 33. 3. Pueri quos otium _ludus_que sollicitat: comp. with ix. 25. _Lusus_ et ineptias nostras legis. Or, Cic. Flacc. 5, 12. Græci quibus jusjurandum _jocus_ est, testimonium _ludus_; that is, to whom it is a mere trifle to bear false witness; compare with Sen. Contr. i. 2. Piratas . . . quibus omne fas nefasque _lusus_ est; that is, to whom the distinction between right and wrong is a mere sporting with words. 2. The plur. +ludi+ assumes the special meaning of public spectacles, and in this sense has a singular peculiar to itself in the word _ludicrum_. 3. +Ludus+ and +lusus+ have more a negative character, as mere pastimes and amusements, as a guard against ennui; whereas +jocus+ more a positive character, as an utterance of humor and wit. The _ludens_ wishes merely to be free from exertion, to do nothing serious, and to amuse himself; the _jocans_ will be as active at the command of mirth, as others at the command of seriousness. (ii. 33.) LUES; CONTAGIUM; PESTILENTIA; PESTIS; PERNICIES; EXITIUM; INTERITUS; EXITUS. 1. +Lues+ (from #loimos#) denotes epidemic disease, as proceeding from an impure morbid matter; +contagium+ (from contingere? or #katatêkein#?) as contagious; +pestilentia+, as a disease reigning in the land, and especially as a pestilence. Sall. Cat. 10. Post ubi _contagia_ quasi _pestilentia_ invasit. Plin. H. N. xxiii. 28. Laurus folia _pestilentiæ contagia_ prohibent. Lucan. vi. 86. Fluidæ _contagia_ pestis. 2. +Pestis+ is used for pestilence itself only by the poets; otherwise it denotes, like _exitium_ and _pernicies_ (from necare), that which destroys in general, without reference to disease; but +pestis+ is, according to rule, used as a concrete, +exitium+ and +pernicies+ as abstract terms. Sen. N. Q. iii. pr. Philippi aut Alexandri . . . . qui _exitio_ gentium clari non minores fuere _pestes_ mortalium quam inundatio. 3. +Pernicies+ has an active meaning, and denotes the destruction of a living being by murder; whereas +exitium+ has a passive meaning, and denotes the destruction even of lifeless objects by annihilation; lastly, +interitus+ has, like _exitus_, a neutral meaning, the destruction of living or lifeless objects by decay. Tac. Ann. xiv. 65. Poppæa non nisi in _perniciem_ uxoris nupta; postremo crimen omni _exitio_ gravius: and ii. 68. Cic. Cat. iv. 3. Cum de _pernicie_ populi Romani, _exitio_ hujus urbis cogitarit. Rull. ii. 4, 10. Extremi _exitiorum exitus_. 4. +Exitium+ is a violent, +exitus+ a natural end. Cic. Rull. ii. 4, 10. Qui civitatum afflictarum perditis jam rebus extremi _exitiorum_ solent esse _exitus_, is, as it were, the last breath of a state that is being destroyed; like Verr. v. 6, 12 _Exitus_ exitiales. (ii. 62. iii. 176.) LUMEN; LUX. +Lumen+ (#leussomenon#) is a luminous body, like #phengos#; +lux+ (#leukê#) a streaming mass of light, like #phaos#. Cic. Fin. iii. 14, 45. Ut obscuratur et offunditur _luce_ solis _lumen_ lucernæ. Curt. viii. 2, 21. Sed aditus specus accipit _lucem_; interiora nisi allato _lumine_ obscura sunt. Cic. Acad. iv. 8, 28. Si ista vera sunt, ratio omnis tollitur quasi quædam _lux lumen_que vitæ; that is, reason alone is in itself bright and light, and at the same time spreads brightness and light over life. Also, in a figurative sense, +lumen+ denotes distinction, +lux+ only clearness. Cicero (Man. 5.) calls Corinth, Græciæ totius _lumen_, but Rome (Catil. iv. 6.) _Lucem_ orbis terrarum; Corinth is compared to a glimmering point of light; Rome is distinguished as that city in comparison with which all other cities lie in darkness. (ii. 66.) LURIDUS, see _Luteus_. LUSTRUM, see _Lacuna_. LUSUS, see _Ludus_. LUTEUS; GILVUS; HELVUS; FLAVUS; LURIDUS. +Luteus+ (from #lôtos#) denotes a decided yellow, as the yolk of an egg; +gilvus+, (#aglaos#) and +helvus+, a fainter reddish yellow, like that of honey; +flavus+ and +luridus+, a lighter whitish yellow; +flavus+ (from #phleuô#) a glossy beautiful yellow, like that of light auburn hair; +luridus+ (from #chlôros#) a wan unpleasant yellowishness, like that of pale death. LUTUM; LIMUS; COENUM; SORDES; SQUALOR; PÆDOR; SITUS; STERCUS; FIMUS; OLETUM; MERDA. 1. +Lutum+, +limus+, +coenum+, all denote impurity, as a substance, and as of a wet sort; +lutum+ (from #luthron#) is the dirt of the streets or roads, like #pêlos#; +limus+ (#leibomenos#) the mud of a river, like #ilus#; +coenum+ (from cunire) the mire of a moor or morass, like #borboros#. Tac. Ann. i. 63. Cætera _limosa_, tenacia gravi _coeno_ aut rivis incerta erant; whereas +sordes+, +squalor+, +poedor+, +situs+, denote impurities as a form, and of a dry sort; +sodes+ (from #arda#) in opp. to _splendor_, through indigence, or niggardliness and vulgarity, for example, clothes dirty from long wear, like #rhupos#; +squalor+ (from #skellô#) in opp. to _nitor_, through want of civilized habits, and of delicacy in the senses, for example uncombed hair, like #auchmos#; +pædor+ (from #psoithos#) in opp. to _munditiæ_, through neglect of the person, for example, through _pædiculos_, vermin, itch, etc., like #pinos#; +situs+ (#asis#) in opp. to _usus_, in consequence of long disuse, for example, through mould, rust, etc., like #azê#. Hence the different forms of the adjectives lutosus, limosus, coenosus, that is, full of lutum, etc.; and of sordidus, squalidus, pædidus, that is, resembling sordes, etc., and in circumlocution, _oblitus luto_, _limo_, _coeno_, but _obsitus_, _sordibus_, _squalore_, _pædore_. 2. +Stercus+ (from #targanon#) denotes in dung its disgusting sense, as filth, like #kopros#; whereas +fimus+ (opimus?) in its useful sense, as manure. 3. For offensive excrements +coenum+ is the most general; +oletum+ denotes human; +merda+ (#minthos#) animal excrements. LUX, see _Lumen_. LUXUS; LUXURIA. +Luxus+ denotes luxury as an act or as a condition, and sometimes even objectively, as an object of luxury; whereas +luxuria+, always subjectively, as a propensity and disposition, as the desiderative of _luxus_. Sen. Ir. i. 11. Animis delicias, _luxus_, opes ignorantibus: and further on; Opinionem _luxuriæ_ segnitiæque. Sall. Cat. 13. Romani famem aut sitim . . . . _luxu_ antecapere; that is, by the arts of luxury: compare with Jug. 90. _Luxuria_ atque ignavia pessimæ artes: that is, as proceeding from voluptuousness. (ii. 23.) LYMPHATUS, see _Amens_. M. MACELLUM, see _Laniena_. MACER, see _Exilis_. MACERIA, see _Murus_. MACULA, see _Vitium_. MADIDUS, see _Udus_. MAGISTER, see _Doctor_. MAGNOPERE, see _Perquam_. MAGNUS; GRANDIS; AMPLUS; INGENS; IMMANIS; VASTUS. 1. +Magnus+, +grandis+, and +amplus+, denote a becoming greatness; +ingens+, +immanis+, and +vastus+, an overwhelming greatness. Sen. Ir. i. 16. Nec enim _magnitudo_ ista est, sed _immanitas_. Cic. Læl. 26. 2. +Magnus+ (from #mega#, mactus,) denotes greatness without any accessory notion, in opp. to _parvus_, like #megas#; whereas +grandis+, with the accessory notion of intrinsic strength and grandeur, in opp. to exilis, Sen. Ep. 100; subtilis, Quintil. xii. 10, 58; tumidus, in the same book, § 80; minutus, Cels. ii. 18; exiguus, Quintil. xi. 3, 15; lastly, +amplus+ (adj. from ambi) with the accessory notion of comeliness, and of an imposing impression. 3. +Ingens+ (#agonos#) denotes excessive greatness merely as extraordinary, like #apletos#; +immanis+ (#amêchanos#) as exciting fear, like #pelôrios#; +vastus+ (from vagus?) as wanting regularity of form like #achanês#. (iii. 228.) MALA; MAXILLA; GENA. 1. +Mala+ (from #memacha#, or from Mandere) denotes the upper, +maxilla+, the under jaw. Cels. Med. viii. 1. 2. +Mala+ denotes the cheek as a usual expression, and in a merely physiological sense; +gena+ (from #genus#) as a more ancient and select expression, and with an _æsthetic_ reference. (vi. 208.) MALEDICTUM; PROBRUM; CONVICIUM. +Maledictum+ is any utterance of what is injurious to another, whether to bring him ill-luck by cursing, or disgrace by verbal injuries, like #kakêgoria#; +probrum+ (from #propherô#) an invective, like #oneidos#, consisting of attacks and assertions wounding the honor of another; +convicium+ (#kataikia#) the abusive word, like #loidoria#, consisting of single words and appellations wounding the honor of another. For example, _fur!_ is a _convicium_, _fur es_, a _probrum_; each of them a _maledictum_. (iv. 198.) MALEFACTUM, MALEFICIUM, see _Delictum_. MALITIA; MALIGNITAS; MALEVOLENTIA; MALUS; NEQUAM; PRAVUS. 1. +Malitia+ denotes the baseness which shows itself in the love of lying and deceiving, from want of conscience; +malignitas+, the ill-will which grudges good to another, and wishes it only to itself, from pure selfishness; +malevolentia+, the ill-will which wishes evil to another rather than good, from personal aversion. +Malitia+ is a way of thinking and acting deserving of punishment as endangering the security of society; +malignitas+ is a despicable disposition, which implies the want of philanthropy; lastly, +malevolentia+, a detestable quality, as connected with deriving pleasure from the misfortunes of others. 2. +Malus homo+ is a morally bad man, but +nequam+ a good-for-nothing man, whose faultiness shows itself in aversion to useful labor, and a propensity to roguish tricks, in opp. to _frugi_. Plaut. Pseud, i. 5. 53. Cic. Font. 13. Or. ii. 61. Fin. ii. 8. Sen. Contr. iii. 21; +pravus+ (#peraios#) a man whose character has taken a vicious direction, in a physical, or intellectual, or moral point of view in opp. to _rectus_. Plaut. Bacch. iii. 3, 8. Cic. Fin. ii. 8. Acad. i. 10. Quintil. viii. 3, 48. Nec parricidam _nequam_ dixeris hominem, nec meretrici forte deditum _nefarium_; quod alterum parum, alterum nimium est. Afric. ap. Gell. vii. 11. (i. 62.) MALIGNITAS, see _Invidia_. MAMMA; MAMILLA; UBER; PAPILLA. 1. +Mamma+ and +uber+ denote the breast in the female body; +mamma+ (#mammê#) denotes the visible breast as a fleshy part of the body, particularly of a female body; whereas +uber+ (#ouaron#) the nourishing breast as filled with milk, which is only found in the female body, like #outhar#. 2. +Papilla+ and +mamilla+ denote the nipples of the breast, common to the male and female; +papilla+ (redupl. of #palla#) with reference to their spherical shape, without distinction of the sexes, like #mazos#; +mamilla+ (redupl. from #amelgô#) with reference to their adaptation for suckling, and therefore belonging only to the female sex, like #titthê#, and teats. (iv. 133.) MANARE, see _Fluere_. MANCIPARE, see _Vendere_. MANCIPIUM, see _Servus_. MANDARE, see _Jubere_. MANE; CREPUSCULO; DILUCULO. +Mane+ (from #mênuein#) denotes in the morning, in the early course of the bright day, in opp. to the night, and the forenoon hours, like #orthrô#; +crepusculo+ (from creperus, #krupsai#) in the twilight, in opp. to the bright day; +diluculo+, in the twilight, in opp. to the dark night, like #lukophôs#. MANERE; MORARI; TARDARE; DETINERE. 1. +Manere+ (from #menein#) denotes remaining, in opp. to going away; whereas +morari+ (from #bradus#) denotes tarrying, as an interruption of motion, in opp. to going forwards. Cic. Sen. 23. _Commorandi_ natura deversorium nobis, non habitandi dedit. Hence in Tac. H. ii. 48. Irent propere neu _remanendo_ iram victoris asperarent,--the reading _remorando_ deserves the preference. 2. +Morari+ _aliquem_ means, to prevail upon any one to stay of his own free will by proposing conditions, like #diatribein#; +tardare+, to prevent a person's hastening on his way by opposing difficulties, like #bradunein#; +detinere+, to hinder him from going forwards by force, like #katechein#. +Tardare+ has generally an action for its object[2]; +detinere+, a person; +morari+, either. (iii. 298.) [Footnote 2: [But: _nos_ Etesiæ valde _tardarunt_.]] MANERE; EXSPECTARE; PRÆSTOLARI; OPPERIRI. 1. +Manere+ (from #menein#) denotes a mere physical act to remain in a place, till something has happened; whereas +exspectare+, +præstolari+, and +opperiri+, denote a mental act, to wait for, to wait in conscious expectation of some event, or of some person. 2. +Exspectare+ denotes waiting for, almost as a mere mental act, as a feeling, without practical reference or accessory meaning; whereas +præstolari+ and +opperiri+, with the accessory notion that the person waiting intends, after the arrival of the object waited for, to do something. 3. The +præstolans+ (from #parastellesthai#) waits for a person in order to perform services for him; the +opperiens+, for an occurrence, in order not to be taken by surprise. The +præstolans+ stands in subordinate relation to the person waited for; the +opperiens+, in co-ordinate, whether as friend or foe. Lastly, +præstolari+ is a prose expression; +opperiri+, a poetical, or at least, a select expression. For the German distinction between _warten_ and _harren_, the former denoting calm, passionless waiting for, the latter, eager, impatient longing for, the Latins have no correspondent synonymes. (iii. 57.) MANES, see _Spectrum_. MANICÆ, see _Vincula_. MANIFESTO, see _Aperire_. MANNUS, see _Equus_. MANSUETUDO; CLEMENTIA. +Mansuetudo+ (from manui suetus) is the mildness and magnanimity of a private individual, who does not take vengeance for a mortification suffered, in opp. to _iracundia_; whereas +clementia+ (from #akalos#, #kêlein#, and mens,) the mercifulness and humanity of the ruler, or the judge, who does not inflict upon the malefactor the punishment which he deserves, in opp. to _crudelitas_. Sen. Clem. 2. Cic. Lig. 3. Att. viii. 9. Plin. Pan. 3. (v. 11.) MANSUETUS, see _Cicur_. MANUBIÆ, see _Præda_. MARE; ÆQUOR; PONTUS; PELAGUS. 1. +Mare+ (from #murô#) denotes the sea, as a mass of water, in opp. to _terra_ and _aër_, like #hals#, #thalassa#; +æquor+, +pelagus+, and +pontus+, with reference to its dimensions; +æquor+ and +pelagus+, with reference to its horizontal dimension, the surface of the sea, like #pelagos#, whence #pelagizein#, to float on the sea; +pontus+ (from #pesein#, #pitnein#,) with reference to its perpendicular dimension, the depth of the sea, like #pontos#, whence #pontizein#, to sink into the sea. Colum. viii. 17. Ut in solo piscinæ posita libella septem pedibus sublimius esset _maris æquor_. Ovid, Met. ii. 872. Mediique per _æquora ponti_ fert prædam. 2. +Æquor+ (from æquus) denotes the surface of the sea in a merely physical sense; whereas +pelagus+ (from #plax#) with the accessory notion of its great extent and immensity. (iv. 72.) MARGO; ORA. +Margo+ (#amergôn#) denotes the brink, the natural boundary of a surface, considered almost as a mere mathematical line, and only improperly as including an exterior portion of the surface; whereas +ora+ (#ôa#, #ouros#, #horos#) denotes the brim, or border, the artificial edging of a surface, generally for the sake of ornament, and therefore necessarily including a certain portion of the surface. Hence we say, _ora togæ_, but not _margo_; and, on the other hand, _margo fluminis_ and _ripæ_, if the mere line of shore is meant, without any portion of the bank. (iii. 212.) MARITA, see _Femina_. MAS, see _Homo_. MATRIMONIUM, see _Conjugium_. MAXILLA, see _Mala_. MEARE, see _Ire_. MEDERI; MEDICARI; SANARE; MEDICAMEN; MEDICINA; REMEDIUM. 1. +Mederi+ and the poetical word +medicari+ (#medein#) denote healing, as the act of the physician, who heals with humane sympathy, judgment, and art, synonymously with _curare_, like #iasthai#; +sanare+, as the effect of the physic, which in a mechanical way makes the sick well again, synonymously with _restituere_, like #akeisthai#. 2. +Medicamentum+ means a remedy, with reference to its material substance, as it is prepared by the apothecary, like #pharmakon#; +medicina+, with reference to its healing virtues, as ordered by the physician; each with reference to an illness; whereas +remedium+ denotes a remedy for any of the evils to which we are subject, like #akos#. Cic. N. D. ii. 53. _Medicamentorum_ salutarium plenissimæ terræ: comp. with Divin. ii. 51. Quam a medico petere _medicinam_. (v. 198.) MEDITARI, see _Cogitare_. MEDIUS; MODICUS; MEDIOCRIS. +Medius+ #mesos# is purely local, in the middle, in opp. to the extremes; +modicus+ denotes quantity, with reference to number and magnitude, as moderate, in opp. to over-measure; +mediocris+ denotes quality, with reference to worth, as middling, in opp. to distinction; hence _modicæ facultates_ and _mediocre ingenium_ are identical. Cic. Rep. ii. 31. Haud _mediocris_ vir fuit, qui _modica_ libertate populo data facilius tenuit auctoritatem principum. (v. 202.) MEDIUS DIES, see _Meridies_. MEMBRUM; ARTUS. +Membrum+ (redupl. of #meros#) denotes a limb of the body itself, like #melos# and #kôlon#; whereas +artus+ (#rhethos#, #arthron#,) properly only a joint of a limb, like #arthron# and #hapsos#. Senec. Contr. ii. 13. Differebatur distortis _articulis_; nondum in sua _membra artus_ redierant. Virg. Æn. v. 422. Magnos _artus membrorum_. Quintil. Decl. ult. Ut per singulos _artus membra_ laxaret. Further, +membra+ denotes the limbs collectively, including the head and trunk, as parts of the body; whereas +artus+ only the extremities, which _per commissuras_ with the body, properly so called, namely, the head and trunk, hang together. Gell. N. A. i. 14. (iv. 150.) MEMINISSE; REMINISCI; RECORDARI. +Meminisse+ denotes remembrance as a state of mind, like #memnêsthai#, in as far as one has retained something in memory, without ever having forgotten it, like _memorem esse_; whereas +reminisci+ and +recordari+ denote remembrance as an act of the mind, in as far as one again brings to one's mind what had already been driven out of one's thoughts, like #anamimnêskesthai#. But +reminisci+ denotes this act of the mind as momentary, like _in memoriam revocare_; whereas +recordari+ denotes it as of some duration, like _revocata in memoriam contemplari_. Cic. Lig. 12, 35. Equidem, cum tuis omnibus negotiis interessem, _memoria teneo_, qualis T. Ligarius, quæstor urbanus, fuerit erga te et dignitatem tuam; sed parum est, me hoc _meminisse_; spero etiam te, qui oblivisci nihil soles, nisi injurias, quoniam hoc est animi, quoniam etiam ingenii tui, te aliquid de hujus illo quæstorio officio cogitantem, etiam de aliis quibusdam quæstoribus _reminiscentem recordari_. This passage shows, that _memoria tenere_ is only a circumlocution for _meminisse_: there is another passage where _recordari_ is employed as the consequence of _reminisci_, but there is no instance of the converse; for _reminisci_ and _recordari_ have the same relation to each other as _intueri_ and _conspicere_. Cic. Sen. 21. Pueri . . . . ita celeriter res innumerabiles arripiunt, ut eas non tum primum accipere videantur, sed _reminisci_ et _recordari_: he might have added, Quæ non satis _meminerint_, sed in aliquantum temporis obliti sint. Tusc. i. 24, 58. Animus, quum se collegit atque recreavit, tum agnoscit illa _reminiscendo_; ita nihil aliud est discere, quam _recordari_. Senec. Ep. 100. Magis _reminiscor_ quam teneo. (i. 166.) MENDA, MENDUM, see _Vitium_. MENDICITAS, see _Paupertas_. MENS, see _Anima_. MERACUS, see _Purus_. MERCARI, see _Emere_. MERCENARII; OPERARII; OPERÆ. +Mercenarii+ mean laborers as far as they work, not for their own interest, but for pay, in opp. to the proprietor, who hires their services; whereas +operarii+ and +operæ+, as far as they undertake to perform for others, a mere mechanical work, in opp. to the principal or director, who gives out the plan. +Mercenarii+ refer to the motive; +operarii+, to the art employed being of an inferior sort. (vi. 217.) MERCES, see _Præmium_. MERCIMONIUM, see _Merx_. MERDA, see _Lutum_. MERERE; DIGNUM ESSE; MERERI. 1. +Merere+ and +Mereri+ (#meiresthai#) suppose an activity, as to deserve; whereas +dignum esse+ (from _decet_, #dikê#,) only a quality, as to be worthy. 2. +Merere+ is usually a transitive verb, as to deserve, and is in construction with an accusative, or with a sentence, as its complement; whereas +mereri+, an intransitive verb, as to be deserving, and is in construction with an adverb. Cic. Rosc. Com. 15. Fructum, quem _meruerunt_, retribuam: comp. with Catil. ii. 2, 4. Si illum, ut erat _meritus_, morte mulctassem. Cæs. B. G. vi. 5, with B. Civ. iii. 53. Suet. Cal. 40, with Aug. 56. 3. +Merere+ as an intransitive, or without an object, denotes to serve as a warrior, by the ellipsis of _stipendia_; whereas +mereri+ as a transitive, or with an object, means to earn something for one's self, without any stress being laid upon the worthiness. (v. 213.) MERETRIX, see _Pellex_. MERIDIES; MEDIUS DIES. +Meridies+ denotes noon, as a point of time, which separates the forenoon from the afternoon; +medius dies+, the middle of the day, as a space of time which lies between the morning and the evening. MERUS, see _Purus_. MERX; MERCIMONIUM. +Merx+ means wares, in as far as they are already wrought up, as an article of trade; +mercimonium+, in as far as they can become so, like the materials of wares. Tac. A. xi. 5. Nec quidquam publicæ _mercis_ tam venale fuit: comp. with xv. 38. _Mercimonium_ quo flamma alitur. METIRI; METARI; DIMETIRI; DIMETARI. 1. +Metiri+ means to measure a space in order to know its magnitude; whereas +metari+, to mark the boundaries of the space that has been measured, that they may be known to others. 2. By +dimetiri+ and +dimetari+, the measuring and marking out of sub-divisions is especially meant; wherefore _metari castra_ refers merely to the whole circumference of the entrenchments; when, therefore, Liv. viii. 38. uses the phrase _locum castris dimetari_, it is evident of itself that he expressly means, to mark the boundaries of the _principia_ and of the _prætorium_, etc., that are within the camp. (ii. 169.) METUERE, see _Vereri_. MICARE, see _Lucere_. MINIME, see _Neutiquam_. MINISTER, see _Servus_. MINUTUS, see _Parvus_. [_Mirari_ is indifferent: _admirari_ usually involves praise, _demirari_ blame.] MISERERI; MISERARI; MISERET ME. +Misereri+ means to feel pity in the heart, to compassionate, like #eleein#; whereas +miserari+, to express pity in words, to commiserate, like #oikteirein#. For the German word _erbarmen_, to show pity by actions, the Latins have no separate word. 2. By +misereor tui+, pity is represented as an act of the free-will, and thereby the noble nature of the compassionate is depicted; whereas by +miseret me tui+, pity is represented as a suffering, which cannot be resisted, whereby all moral merit is taken away, and the greatness of another's misfortune more strongly expressed. +Miserere+ is a causative, like #oiktizein#. (ii. 171.) MISERIA, see _Infortunium_. MISSILE; HASTA; LANCEA; JACULUM; VERUTUM; TRAGULUM; PILUM. +Missile+ is the most general name for a weapon used in fighting at a distance, from the spear to the arrow; +hasta+ and +lancea+ serve both for thrusting and hurling; +hasta+ (from #schastêrion#, #schazô#,) as a genuine Roman weapon, #doru#; +lancea+, as a foreign weapon, supposed to have come originally from the Suevi, #lonchê#; +pilum+, +jaculum+, +verutum+, are more for hurling; +jaculum+, as the most general expression, including the hunting spear, #belos#; +verutum+ (from #oruchê#) and +tragulum+ (#trôglê#) military weapons for hurling, #akôn#; +pilum+ (from #pêlai#) in the singular, as the peculiar weapon for hurling used by the Roman legion. Liv. ix. 19. Romano _pilum_ haud paulo quam _hasta_ vehementius ictu _missu_que telum. MITIS; LENIS; PLACIDUS. +Mitis+ means mild, in opp. to _acerbus_, like #meilichos#; +lenis+ (from lana? or from the Goth, latjan, lassus?) gentle, in opp. to _vehemens_, like #praos#; +placidus+, composed, in opp. to _turbidus_, like #êpios#. MITTERE; LEGARE; AMITTERE; DIMITTERE; OMITTERE. 1. +Mittere+ #metheinai# is the general expression, to send; +legare+ (from #legô#) has a special political meaning, to delegate. The _missus_ makes his appearance as a servant or messenger; the _legatus_, as a representative. 2. +Amittere+ and +dimittere+ mean to let go any thing already in one's possession; +amittere+, against one's will, as to lose; +dimittere+, after having used it, as to dismiss; whereas +omittere+ means to let anything pass by, without taking possession of it; to speak with precision, _Amittimus inviti et casu, omittimus volentes et sponte_. Hence _amittere occasionem_ means, to let slip an opportunity, so as not to be able to take advantage of it, from negligence; whereas _omittere occasionem_ means, to renounce an opportunity, so as not to wish to take advantage of it, from attaching little value to it. _Vitam amittere_ means, to lose one's life; _vitam omittere_, to sacrifice it. (iii. 285.) MODERATUS, MODESTIA, see _Modus_. MODICUS, see _Medius_. MODO-MODO; NUNC-NUNC. +Modo-modo+ is properly applicable only to transactions of the past and of the future; +nunc-nunc+ only to those of the present. This distinction is neglected, yet +nunc-nunc+ gives a livelier color to description, and belongs to poetry, or to the more elevated style of prose; +modo-modo+, like 'just now,' is the proper prose expression, which Cicero always uses. (iv. 276.) MODO, see _Nuper_. MODUS; MODESTIA; MODERATIO; TEMPERATIO; CONTINENTIA; ABSTINENTIA. 1. +Modus+, in a moral sense, denotes the #metrion#, or the included notion of the #mêden agan# in objective relation; +modestia+ and +moderatio+, in subjective relation; +Modestia+ is the feeling of preference for this _modus_; +moderatio+, the habit of acting in conformity to this feeling. 2. +Moderatio+ is moderation, as springing from the understanding, from calculation and reflection, akin to _prudentia_; +temperatio+ and +temperantia+ are qualities pervading the whole man, and ennobling his whole being, akin to _sapientia_. +Moderatio+ supposes, like self-government, a conflict between the passions and reason, in which reason comes off conqueror; in +temperatio+, as in tranquillity of mind, the reason is already in possession of superiority, whether through nature or moral worth. 3. +Temperatus+, +temperatio+, denote merely a laudable property, which may belong even to things; whereas +temperans+, +temperantia+, a virtue of which reasonable beings alone are capable. 4. +Moderatio+ denotes moderation in _action_, in opp. to _cupiditas_; whereas +continentia+, moderation in enjoyment, in opp. to _libido_, Cic. Cat. ii. 11, 25. Verr. iv. 52. 5. +Continentia+ denotes command over sensual desires, continence; +abstinentia+, over the desire for that which belongs to another, firm integrity; the translation of _abstinentia_ by 'disinterestedness,' is not precise enough, for this virtue is required by morality only, _abstinentia_, by _law_ also.

Martial, Ep. iv. 82. _Negare_ jussi, _pernegare_ non jussi. Cic. Phil. xi. 8, 19. In quo maximum nobis onus imposuit, assensero; ambitionem induxero in curiam; _negaro_; videbor suffragio meo tanquam comitiis honorem amicissimo _denegasse_. 4. +Negare+ supposes a question only, whether actual or possible, which is denied; whereas +recusare+, a request which is refused; hence +negare+ is a more general and mild expression than _recusare_; for the _negans_ merely denies the possibility of granting what he is asked or requested; whereas the _recusans_ also calls in question the justice of the request, which he protests against as a threat, or as an encroachment. Hence +negare+, +denegare+, are more used in private transactions; +recusare+, in public affairs. 5. +Negare+ and +recusare+ take place by means of words and speeches; +abnuere+ and +renuere+, mostly by signs and gestures; +abnuere+, by waving a person from one with the hand, like #aponeuô#; +renuere+, by drawing back the head, like #ananeuô#. 6. +Abnuere+ is a more friendly, +renuere+ a haughtier manner of denying. 7. +Recusare+ refers to an object which is considered as a burden, and claims resignation, in opp. to _suscipere_, Suet.

OBSCURUM; TENEBRÆ; CALIGO; TENEBRICOSUS; OPACUS; UMBROSUS. 1. +Obscurum+ (#skoteron#) denotes darkness as an obstruction of light, like #skotos# in opp. to _illustre_. Auct. ad Her. iii. 19, 32. Plin. Pan. 69; whereas +tenebræ+ (#dnopherai#) as the absence of light,) like #zophos#, #knephas#,) in opp. to _lux_. Cic. Ep. ad Q. Fr. i. 2; lastly, +caligo+ (from celare) as the positive opposite to light and brightness, like #achlus#. +Caligo+ denotes a greater degree of darkness than _tenebræ_; +tenebræ+ than _obscuritas_; +obscuritas+ than _opacum_ and _umbrosum_.

Plin. Pan. 68, 7. Hence, +invidia+ is the beginning of _odium_. +Invidia+ has merely persons; +odium+, persons and things for its objects. Tac. Ann. ii. 56. Armenii . . . sæpius discordes sunt, adversus Romanos _odio_, et in Parthum _invidia_. xiii. 15. Nero intellecta _invidia odium_ intendit. Plin. Pan. 84, 2.

Tac. Ann. xiv. 8. Anicetus refracta _janua_ obvios servorum adripit, donec ad _fores_ cubiculi veniret. (v. 214.) OTIARI, see _Vacare_. OTIUM; PAX; CONCORDIA. +Otium+ (#ausios#, #autôs#,) denotes quiet times in general, as a species of _pax_ (#pêxai#), with reference to foreign relations; +concordia+, with reference to internal relations. (v. 246.) P. PÆDOR, see _Lutum_.

Hirt. B. Afr. 51. Jubæ barbaro potius _obedientem_ fuisse quam nuntio Scipionis _obtemperasse_. Cic. Cæc. 18. Man. 16. Tac. H. ii. 14. Parata non arma modo sed _obsequium_ et _parendi_ amor; that is, readiness to obey, from respect and love to the general, and from taking a pleasure in obedience, from a feeling that without order and subordination their cause could not be upheld.

PARUMPER; PAULISPER. +Parumper+ means in a short time; +paulisper+, during a short time. Hence acts of the mind are particularly in construction with _parumper_; acts of the body, with _paulisper_; for with the former is necessarily connected the glance at the future, which _lies_ in _parumper_; in _paulisper_, duration of time only is considered; for example, we use the expression _paulisper morari_, but _parumper dubitare_. (i. 145.) PARVUS; MINUTUS; EXIGUUS; PUSILLUS. +Parvus+ and +minutus+ denote littleness, quite indifferently, and in a purely mathematical sense, without any accessory notion; +parvus+ (#pauros#) a natural and intrinsic littleness, in opp. to _magnus_, like #mikros#; +minutus+ (#minuthô#) an artificial and fabricated littleness; whereas +exiguus+ and +pusillus+ with a contemptuous accessory notion; +exiguus+ from (egere) in a pitiable sense, as paltry and insignificant, in opp. to _amplus_. Planc. ap. Cic. Fam. x. 24; or in opp. to _grandis_, Quintil. xi. 3, 15; but +pusillus+ (#psilos#?) in a ludicrous sense, as petty, nearly in opp. to _ingens_, like #tutthos#. (v. 28.)

Quintil. v. 10, 26, like #penia#; whereas +inopia+ and +egestas+ denote galling poverty, in consequence of which one suffers want, and has recourse to shifts; +inopia+, like #aporia#, objectively, as utterly without means, so that one cannot help one's self, in opp. to _copia_ or _opulentia_; Cic. Parad. 6. Sen. Vit. B. 15. Tac. Hist. iii. 6; +egestas+, like #endeia#, subjectively, as penury, when a man feels want, in opp. to _abundantia_; lastly, +mendicitas+ (from #madizein#,) as absolute poverty, in consequence of which one must beg, like #ptôcheia#. The _pauper_ possesses little enough; the _inops_ and _egenus_, too little; the _mendicus_, nothing at all. In the kingdom of Plutus, according to the order of rank, the _pauperes_ would occupy the middle station, who must live the life of citizens, and economize; the _inopes_ and _egeni_, if not in a state of overwhelming necessity, would occupy the station of the poor, who live from hand to mouth, and must occasionally starve; the _mendici_, the station of the beggars, who, without property of any sort, or the means of earning it, live on alms. Cic. Parad. 6. Istam _paupertatem_ vel potius _egestatem_ et _mendicitatem_ tuam nunquam obscure tulisti. Sen. Ep. 17. 50. Ovid, Rem. 748. Suet. Gr. 11. Vixit in summa _pauperie_, et pæne _inopia_. Plin. Ep. iv. 18. _Inopia_ vel potius, ut Lucretius ait, _egestas_ patrii sermonis. Cic. Inv. i. 47. Propter _inopiam_ in _egestate_ esse. (iii. 111.) PAVIRE, see _Verberare_. PAX, see _Otium_.

The +meretrices+ and +scorta+ are not _so low_ as _lupæ_, _prostibula_. They exercise some choice and selection, and support themselves by the work of their own hands, from which _meretrices_ derive their name (from mereri); +meretrices+ are considered with ref. to the _class_ they belong to; +scorta+ (#korê#, #korasion#), with ref. to their moral character, as enticing men to sin, like #hetairai#, filles de joie. The +meretrices+ are common; the +scorta+, lascivious and dissolute. (v. 241.) PELLIS, see _Tergus_. PELLUCIDUS, see _Perlucidus_. PENDERE, see _Hærere_. PENITUS, see _Plane_. PENNA, see _Ala_.

Brut. 97, 33; or _vix_, Att. xi. 9; +omnino+, altogether and generally, in opp. to partly, in some instances, with some exceptions; in opp. also to _magna ex parte_, Cic. Tusc. i. 1. Fam. ix. 15, or _separatim_, Plin. Ep. viii. 7, #holôs#; +prorsus+, exactly, in opp. to in some measure, or almost; +penitus+, thoroughly, deeply, in opp. to in a certain degree, or superficially, #pantôs#; +utique+ [related to _utcunque_, as _quisque_ to _quicunque_: opp. _neutiquam_], at any rate, in opp. to at all events, or _perhaps_ #hopôsdêpote#.

The _pollicens_ makes agreeable offers, the _promittens_ opens secure prospects; the _spondens_ gives legal security; the _recipiens_ removes anxiety from another. Cic. Att. xiii. 1. Quoniam de æstate _polliceris_ vel potius _recipis_; for the _pollicens_ only engages his good-will, the _recipiens_ undertakes to answer for consequences. Sen. Ep. 19; Jam non _promittunt_ de te, sed _spondent_. Cic. Fam. vii. 5. Neque minus ei prolixe de tua voluntate _promisi_, quam eram solitus de mea _polliceri_; for with regard to Trebatius, Cicero could only express his hope, with regard to himself he could actually promise.

PRÆDICERE, see _Divinare_. PRÆDITUS; INSTRUCTUS; EXSTRUCTUS; ORNATUS. 1. +Præditus+ (præ-#thetos#) refers to a distinction which sheds lustre; +instructus+ and +exstructus+ to a qualification which attests usefulness; +ornatus+ refers to both, for _ornamentum_ is not, on the one side, that which is merely of use, like _instrumentum_, nor, on the other, that which is merely for show, like _decus_, but that which is of such eminent utility as to be prized even as an ornament. +Instructus+ paints the qualification, etc., as a perfection which protects and secures; +ornatus+, as an accomplishment of an imposing nature. It is only in a higher point of view, and with reference to ideal claims, that _ornatus_ is considered as a want; but, according to ordinary pretensions, it passes for a distinction of life. Cic. Phil. x. 4. Græcia copiis non _instructa_ solum, sed etiam _ornata_. Sen. Tranq. 9.

Liv. xxiv. 8. Classem paravimus ut Africæ _oram_ popularemur, ut tuta nobis Italiæ _litora_ essent. Plin. Ep. v. 6, 2. Gravis et pestilens _ora_ Tuscorum, quæ per _litus_ extenditur.

Invenit expositum secreti in _litoris acta_. Cic. Fam. ix. 6.

Cic. Att. xvi. 10. Igitur, mi Plance, _rogo_ te atque etiam _oro_. Pseudocic. p. Red. 16. Pro mea vos salute non _rogavit_ solum, verum etiam _obsecravit_. 2. +Precari+ denotes the calm act of prayer, in which one raises one's hand to heaven, like #euchesthai#; but +supplicare+ denotes the passionate act of supplication, in which one throws one's self on one's knees, or on the ground, and wrings one's hands, like #hiketeuein#. By hyperbole, however, +precor+ denotes any urgent request; +supplicare+, any humble request, addressed to a human being. Cic. Parad. v. 3. Noctu venire domum ad eum, _precari_, denique _supplicare_. (v. 232.) ROGARE; INTERROGARE; PERCONTARI; SCISCITARI. +Rogare+, +interrogare+, and +quærere+, denote a simple questioning; +rogare+ (#organ#, #oregesthai#), as willing to know; +interrogare+, as wishing to know; whereas +percontari+ and +sciscitari+ denote urgently asking; +percontari+ (from #gnônai#) always from a desire of knowledge, with seriousness and calmness; +sciscitari+ (redupl. of scitari) often from curiosity, with inquisitiveness, eagerness, or also with cunning, like pumping or ferreting out. (v. 125.) ROGARE, see _Petere_. RUDIS, see _Fustis_. RUINA; STRAGES. +Ruina+ (from #rheusai# is the falling down of things raised one upon another, in consequence of the basis giving way; whereas +strages+ is the throwing down of bodies standing upright, in consequence of a push from without. Liv. iv. 33. _Strages ruinæ_ similis. (vi. 309.) RUMOR; FAMA. +Rumor+ (from #rheuma#), like report, is the uncertain, dark, often clandestine propagation of intelligence, in opp. to authentic assurance; +fama+ (#phêmê#), like information, is the open and public propagation of intelligence, in opp. to ocular demonstration. The _rumor_ interests only by its novelty, is an object of curiosity, and passes away with the generation in which it sprung up; the _fama_ interests through its importance, is an object of research, and as a permanent property descends to posterity. (v. 233.) RUMPERE, see _Frangere_. RUPES, see _Saxum_. RURSUS, see _Iterum_. RUS, see _Villa_. RUS; AGER; RUSTICUS; AGRESTIS; RUSTICANUS. 1. +Rus+ (#aroton#) denotes the country, in opp. to the town or city, the village with what belongs to it; whereas +ager+ (#agros#) the country, in opp. to the district in general, the open country or fields. Cels. Med. 1. Sanum oportet . . . modo _ruri_ esse, modo in urbe, sæpiusque in _agro_. 2. +Rusticus+ denotes, like #agroikos#, merely residing in the country; +agrestis+, like #agrios#, growing wild in the fields, like _ferus_, but as a milder expression, for _ferus_ (#phêres#) denotes wildness as an inward nature; +agrestis+, merely as a mark of the place of residence, or of extraction. 3. In a spiritual sense, +rusticus+ denotes more an intellectual, +agrestis+ more a moral roughness; +rusticus+, like countrified, has a reference to bashfulness and uncouthness; in its best sense, it is allied to innocence; in its worst, to awkwardness; whereas +agrestis+, like boorish, has a reference to shamelessness and vulgarity, is never used in a good sense, but borders on _feritas_, and answers to the German word Flegelei, 'churlishness.' The _rusticus_, in opp. to _urbanus_, violates only the conventional laws of decorum; the _agrestis_, in opp. to _humanus_, the natural laws of decorum also. 4. When Cicero wishes to give to _rusticus_ a still milder sense, and secure it from ambiguity, he adopts the word _rusticanus_; so that, according to him, +rusticus+ is one who actually lives in a country-village, +rusticanus+, one who resembles those who live in country-villages; hence among the _rusticani_ the _municipes_ may be reckoned, as _rusticorum similes_. S. SABULO; HARENA; SABURA. +Sabulo+ (from #psapharos#, #psêphos#,) and in Pliny +sabulum+, denote sand, as a sort of light soil; +harena+, +arena+ (from #cheras#), as a dry stony soil, as small or pounded pebbles, in opp. to a fruitful soil; +sabura+, +saburra+, with especial reference to its use, as shipsand, ballast. (vi. 311.) SACELLUM, see _Templum_. SACER; SANCTUS. +Sacer+ (#agos#) denotes that which is sacred, inasmuch as it belongs to the gods, in opp. to +profanus+, like #hieros#; whereas +sanctus+ (from #hagnos#) inasmuch as it is under the protection of the gods, and, being guarded from profanation, is, in consequence, pure and spotless, in opp. to _pollutus_, like #hosios#. Hence +sanctus homo+ is a pure, pious man; +sacer+, one accursed, devoted to the gods as an expiatory sacrifice. In the same manner +sancire+ means to place under the immediate protection of the gods, as laws and compacts, for example; whereas +sacrare+ means to dedicate to the gods, as temples and altars, for example. (iii. 198.) SACRAMENTUM, see _Jusjurandum_. SACRARE; CONSECRARE; DICARE; DEDICARE. +Sacrare+, +consecrare+, mean to hallow, with reference to men, with regard to whom the profane use of a thing is withdrawn and forbidden; +dicare+, +dedicare+ (from #dechesthai#) mean to dedicate with reference to the gods, to whom the thing is set apart as their property. Hence +consecrare+ may be used in an absolute sense, but +dedicare+ has always a reference to the new proprietors. SÆPE; CREBRO; FREQUENTER; FREQUENTARE; CELEBRARE. 1. +Sæpe+ denotes often, in opp. to _semel_, Suet. Ner. 33; _nonnunquam_, Cic. Or. 66; _semper_, like #pollakis#; whereas +crebro+ and +frequenter+, in opp. to _raro_, Rhet. ad Her. iv. 23. Cic. Or. 66; +crebro+, often, and in quick succession, and rather too often than too seldom, like #thama#; but +frequenter+ (partic. from farcire) often, and not too seldom; for in general +creber+ denotes a multifarious assembly, inasmuch as it is dense and crowded; whereas +frequens+, inasmuch as it is numerously attended. Consequently, +frequens+ rather implies praise, like _largus_; +creber+, blame, like _spissus_. And _frequentes senatores_ denote the senate, when represented as complete; _crebri senatores_, as wanting room on account of their number, and forced to sit close. 2. +Frequentare+ means to visit a place often, and not neglect it: whereas +celebrare+, to visit it often, and thereby to enliven it, and to fill it with festive sounds. (i. 17.) SÆVITIA; CRUDELITAS. +Sævitia+ (from #ai#, #ainos#) denotes the blood-thirsty cruelty of the tyrant, who acts like a ravenous beast, that kills and tears its prey, in opp. to _mansuetudo_; whereas +crudelitas+ (from #kruos#, crudus) denotes the reckless cruelty of the judge, who enforces the utmost rigor of the law, in opp. to _clementia_. Sen. Clem. 2. Cic. Lig. 3. Att. viii. 9. Plin. Pan. 3. SÆVUS, see _Atrox_. SALSUS, see _Lepidus_. SALTUS, see _Silva_. SALUBER, see _Salus_. SALUS; SANITAS; VALENS; SALUBER; SANUS; SALUTARIS. 1. +Salus+ denotes existence in general, in opp. to _interitus_; whereas +sanitas+, the health of the person existing, in opp. to _ægritudo_; first of the body, then, in a higher degree, of the soul. 2. +Sanus+ and +valens+ denote health as a temporary state, and are allied in sense with _integer_; whereas +saluber+ and +validus+ denote habitual qualities, and are allied in sense with _robustus_. Hence _salubris oratio_ means a speech sound in matter, possessing original strength; _sana_, a temperate and discreet speech. Cic. Brut. 13. 51. Tac. Dial. 25. Plin. Ep. ix. 26. 3. +Sanus+ and +saluber+ represent health, merely as finding one's self well; +valens+ and +validus+, as possessing strength to act. 4. +Saluber+ in a transitive sense means, what brings _sanitas_, in opp. to _pestilens_, like #hugieinos#; whereas +salutaris+, what brings _salus_, in opp. to _pestiferus_, like #sôtêrios#. Cato, apud Plin. H. N. xviii. 6. Nihil _salutare_ est nisi quod toto anno _salubre_. (i. 31.) SALUS, see _Vita_. SALUTARIS, see _Salus_. SALVE, see _Ave_. SALVUS; SOSPES; INCOLUMIS; INTEGER. +Salvus+ and +sospes+ denote, like #sôs#, being safe and sound, in opp. to being killed; +salvus+ is the customary, +sospes+ a select expression; whereas +incolumis+ and +integer+, like #askêthês#, denote being unhurt and untouched; +incolumis+ (from calvere, calamitas, #kolouô#), in opp. to being wounded, etc.; +integer+ (from tangere) in opp. to being attacked. Tac. Hist. i. 84. Mea cum vestra _salus incolumitate_ senatus firmatur; that is, our safety is assured by the senate not having had a hair touched. And, i. 66. Verba Fabii _salutem incolumitatemque_ Viennensium commendantis; _salus_ refers to being killed, _incolumitas_ to being plundered: comp. with Cic. Orat. iii. 45, 178. Dejot. 15. Sunt tuæ clementiæ monumenta . . . eorum _incolumitates_ quibus _salutem_ dedisti. (iii. 306.) SANARE, see _Mederi_. SANCTUS, see _Sacer_ and _Bonus_.

Mox ubi _sanguis_ artus extremos suffuderit, levi ictu _cruorem_ eliciunt atque invicem lambunt. +Sanguis+ is the condition of physical life; +cruor+, the symbol of death by slaughter. 2. +Sanguineus+ means, consisting of blood, +sanguinolentus+, smelling after blood, or blood-thirsty; +cruentus+, red with blood. (iv. 258.) SANIES; PUS. +Sanies+ (from #sisanon#) denotes running, consequently, offensive matter; +pus+ (from #puthô#), corroding, consequently, pernicious matter. Cels. v. 26, 20. (vi. 316.) SANITAS, SANUS, see _Salus_. SAPIENS; PRUDENS; CALLIDUS; SCITUS; SOLERS; CORDATUS; CATUS. 1. +Sapiens+ (from #sêpô#) is the person who chooses right objects, from ennobling views, and pursues them with quietness of mind; +prudens+ and +callidus+ denote the person who chooses right means, and regulates them with circumspection; +prudentia+ is a natural judiciousness, pervading a man's whole nature: +calliditas+, an acquired knowledge of the world and of men, gained by experience and practice.

Ep. 109. Debet esse optatus ad hujus modi _gustum_, ut ille tali _sapore_ capiatur. 2. The +libans+ puts only a small portion of any thing to, or into, his mouth; whereas the +gustans+ has the sense of the effect of what he tastes, and is conscious of its flavor. Ovid, Amor. i. 4, 34. Si tibi forte dabit, quæ _prægustaverit_ ipse, rejice _libatos_ illius ore dapes. (iii. 125.) SARMENTUM, see _Rami_. SATELLES; STIPATOR. +Satelles+ (from #stellô#) denotes an attendant, as a hired servant; +stipator+ (from #stiphos#) as a guard. Cic. Rull. ii. 13. Ex equestri loco ducentos in singulos annos _stipatores_ corporis constituit, eosdem ministros et _satellites_ potestatis. (vi. 318.) SATIS; AFFATIM; ABUNDE. 1. +Satis+ (from #asê#) denotes, like #hikanôs#, a sufficient measure, without any accessory reference; whereas +affatim+ and +abunde+ with the accessory notion of rather too much than too little; +abunde+, like #halis#, with an objective and absolute reference; whereas +affatim+, like #aphthonôs#, in a subjective and relative sense. A person may have worked _affatim_, according to his own opinion, and yet not _satis_. Cic. Att. ii. 16. Puto enim me Dicæarcho _affatim satis_ fecisse. And, xvi. 1. _Satis_ est et _affatim_ prorsus. Liv. iv. 22. Frumentum non necessitati _satis_, sed copiæ quoque _abunde_ ex ante confecto sufficiebat. 2. +Satiare+ denotes satisfying, as the appeasing of a want generally, of hunger, of a longing, etc.; whereas +saturare+, as the appeasing of an unnatural craving, of an over-eager longing, or a voracious hunger, of hatred, of the thirst for blood. (i. 109.) SATIS HABERE; CONTENTUM ESSE; BONI CONSULERE; CONTENTUS; ÆQUUS ANIMUS. 1. +Satis habere+, that is, to consider as enough, expresses a judgment, and is only a sign of an unimpassioned judgment of the right measure; whereas +contentum esse+, to be satisfied, expresses a feeling and is a sign of moderation and self-government; lastly, +boni consulere+, to take in good part, an act of the will, by which a person resigns the realizing of his wish, and acquiesces as becomes a man, in what is inevitable. +Satis habere+ is in construction with an infinitive; +contentum esse+, generally with an ablative, or with _quod_. Cic. Orat. iii. 19; comp. with Fr. Clod. 6. 2. +Contentus animus+ denotes a relative contentedness, which puts up with and does not murmur at the want of complete success; +æquus animus+, an absolute contentedness, which feels quite satisfied, and does not wish for a more prosperous state. (v. 343.) SATISFACTIO, see _Purgatio_. SATURARE, see _Satis_. SAUCIUS, see _Vulnus_. SAXUM; RUPES; CAUTES; PETRA; SCOPULI; LAPIS; CALCULUS; SCRUPULUS. 1. +Saxum+, +rupes+, and +cautes+, are greater; +lapis+, +calx+, and +scrupus+, smaller masses of stone. Plin. H. N. xxxvi. 22. Silex viridis ubi invenitur, _lapis_, non _saxum_ est. 2. +Saxa+ (from #psekas#, #psêchô#) are greater masses of stone, in whatever form, like #petrai#; +rupes+ and +petræ+ (#petrai#, from #pesein#) are steep and high, like rocks, and therefore difficult to climb; +cautes+ and +scopuli+ are rough and pointed, like crags, and therefore threaten danger; the +cautes+ are smaller, and also not visible in the water, and therefore deceitful; the +scopuli+ (from #kopsai#) jutting upwards, threaten and announce danger, like #skopeloi#. 3. +Lapis+ (#alips#) is the most general expression, and denotes the stone only as a material substance, without regard to its form, like #lithos#; +calculus+, is a smooth, generally round pebble; +scrupulus+, a rough, generally angular pebble; but for this meaning of _scrupulus_, the dimin. of _scrupus_, we have only the authority of grammarians; in authors it has only the figurative meaning of scruple. (v. 191.) SCANDERE; ADSCENDERE; ESCENDERE; CONSCENDERE; INSCENDERE. +Scandere+ means to mount a steep height, which is connected with exertion, and generally brings both hands and feet into requisition, as to climb; whereas +adscendere+, +escendere+, +conscendere+, and +inscendere+, mean to mount a height, in a general sense; +adscendere+, without any accessory notion, merely in opp. to _descendere_; whereas +escendere+ means to mount a height which is fortified, like ramparts, walls, or which confers distinction, as the _rostrum_; +conscendere+, to mount something in company with others, a ship for instance; +inscendere+, to mount an enclosed space, a carriage for instance. (iv. 60.) SCAPHA, see _Navigium_. SCELESTUS; SCELERATUS; NEFARIUS; NEFANDUS; IMPIUS. +Scelestus+ (from scelus, #sklêros#) has reference to the mind, like _ad scelera pronus_ and _promptus_; whereas +sceleratus+, to actions, like _sceleribus pollutus atque opertus_. Hence the epithet +sceleratus+ is applied to things, to _porta_, _campus_, _vicus_; and, in general, things can be called _scelesta_ only by personification. In the like manner +nefarius+ and +impius+ as applied to the impiety of the person who acts, only with this distinction, that the _impius_ is impious only in mind, the _nefarius_ in his actions also; whereas +nefandus+ refers to the horrible enormity of an action.

(vi. 330.) SERIUS; SEVERUS. +Severus+ (#auêros#) means, actively, one who cuts no jokes; +serius+, in a neutral sense, what is no subject for joking; and +severe+ means earnestly; +serio+, in earnest; whence +severus+ is an epithet for persons, +serius+ for things; Hor. A. P. 105. Decent vultum _severum seria_ dictu. Senec. Tranq. 15. Nihil magnum, nihil _severum_ nec _serium_ quidem ex tanto apparatu putat. +Severus+ is in opp. to _hilaris_, Cic.

Yet +severus+ also supplies the place of _serius_; particularly in _severior_, _severissimus_, and _severitas_, because _serius_ does not possess these forms. (i. 75.) SERMO; COLLOQUIUM; ORATIO. 1. +Sermo+ (#eiromenos#) denotes a conversation accidentally arising, or at least carried on without any fixed and serious purpose; whereas +colloquium+, generally a conversation agreed upon for a particular purpose, like a conference. 2. +Sermo+ is a natural mode of speaking; +oratio+, a speech premeditated and prepared according to the rules of art. The _sermo_ arises when, in ordinary life, an individual speaks longer than usual, and continues speaking, and is accidentally not interrupted; the _oratio_ has a definite extent with an observable beginning, middle, and end, and in it the speaker calculates upon not being interrupted. In the _sermo_, the language of ordinary life predominates, whether in prose or verse, as in the comic poets, and in the _Sermones_ of Horace; whereas in the _oratio_ the language is select, and in conformity to the rules of rhetoric. Cic. Orat. 16. Mollis est _oratio_ philosophorum et umbratilis . . . Itaque _sermo_ potius quam _oratio_ dicitur. Tac. Hist. i. 19.

Most prose writers, however, use _servitus_ merely as the abstract; _servitium_, and especially _servitia_, as the concrete term for _servi_. (v. 136.) SEVERITAS; GRAVITAS; STRENUITAS. +Severitas+ (#auêrotês#) means earnestness, so far as it is seated in the mind; +gravitas+ (from #geraios#) so far as it makes an impression on others; +strenuitas+ (from #strênês#, #drainô#) so far as it shows itself in action.

Cic. Harusp. 28. Sed tamen facile _tacentibus_ cæteris _reticuissem_. 2. +Tacens+ and +tacitus+ denote being silent merely as a temporary state; +tacens+ means any one who does not speak; +tacitus+, one who, when an opportunity for speaking offers, purposely refrains, and observes a significant silence; whereas +taciturnus+ denotes silence as an habitual quality, like close and reserved.

In a figurative sense +sinister+ is the symbol of unpropitiousness and of disaster; +lævus+, of perverseness and of awkwardness. (vi. 336.) SINUS, see _Gremium_.

SOCIUS; SODALIS; AMICUS; FAMILIARIS; PARTICEPS; CONSORS. 1. +Socii+ (from sequi) are bound by common interests to act together, as partners, companions, etc.; +sodales+ and +socienni+, like #hetairoi#, are bound only by being pleased with each to the common enjoyment of life, as comrades and good friends; but +sodalis+ (from #ethos#, #êtheios#) is the more elevated, +sociennus+, a more comic expression. +Socius+ is generally in construction with an objective genitive, which names the purpose of the _sociatio_; whereas +sodalis+ only with a subjective genitive, which names the other _sodalis_; _socius periculi_, _culpæ_, but _sodalis meus_. 2. +Sodalis+ is a good friend, with whom one stands in a sociable, that is to say, a calm state of intercourse; +amicus+, a friend, with whom one exchanges the sacred feeling of love and respect; +familiaris+, a confidant, to whom one is bound, as one heart and soul, in mirth and sorrow. 3.

Cic. Balb. 28. Fuit hic multorum illi laborum _socius_ aliquando; est fortasse nunc nonnullorum _particeps_ commodorum. Liv. xxi. 41, and Suet. Aug. 25. The co-regent is _socius imperii_, so far as he shares in the business of government; _consors_, so far as the office is merely honorary. (iv. 208.) SOCORDIA, see _Ignavia_. SODALIS, see _Socius_. SOLEMNIA; FERIÆ; DIES FESTI; FESTA. +Solemnia+ means festivals, so far as they are solemn or regularly returning institutions; +feriæ+, so far as they are days of rest and recreation; +festa+, or, in prose, +dies festi+, so far as they are days of rejoicing.

In Liv. xxxviii. 17, Hæc quibus _insolita_ atque _insueta_ sunt Græci timeant!--the word +insolitus+ refers to the frequency of their appearance; +insuetus+, to the connection of their appearance with the individuality of the subject acting or suffering. 2. +Solet+ is used indifferently; +assolet+ involves praise, and may be resolved into _recte_ or _rite solet_.

Hence the proverbial phrase, _Omnis res jam in vado est_; like a swimmer who has reached the bottom of the water: and _Largitio fundum non habet_, like the vessel of the Danaides. Cic. Brut. 74. Solum et quasi fundamentum oratoris vides. (v. 35.) SOLUM, see _Tellus_. SOMNUS; SOPOR; SOMNIUM; INSOMNIUM. 1. +Somnus+ (#hupnos#) denotes sleep, as a usual prosaic expression; +sopor+ (#hupar#) as a select poetical expression.

Prov. 6. Tac. H. ii. 92, like #kataphronein#; lastly, +despicere+, +despectare+, not to value a thing, in opp. to _suspicere_, _revereri_, _admirari_. Cic. Off. ii. 11, 38. Tac. Ann. ii. 43, like #oligôrein#. 2. +Spernere+ denotes despising, as an inward feeling, synonymously with _parvi putare_, _negligere_; +spernari+, and the more usual word, +aspernari+, as an utterance of that feeling, synonymously with _recusare_, _abnuere_, _rejicere_, like waving from one. In +spernere+, the notion of holding cheap predominates; in +aspernari+, that of aversion or rejection. +Spernere+ refers to an object which is at one's command; +aspernari+, to something offered to us, or obtruded upon us. 3. +Aspernari+ is confined to the simple avowal of aversion; whereas +recusare+ includes the decided declaration of unwillingness. Curt. vi. 6, 7. Principes _aspernantes_ quidem, sed recusare non ausos Persicis ornaverat vestibus. 4. The +spernens+ follows a moral and rational aversion, and acts more or less with a consciousness of his grounds for despising anything; whereas the +fastidiens+ follows a physical and instinctive aversion, whether it be an innate or temporary antipathy, which arises either from an actual loathing, or from what appears like it; lastly, the +negligens+ follows the suggestion neither of reason, nor yet of instinct and feeling, but acts without thought or purpose.

(iv. 113.) SPONTE; ULTRO; SUA SPONTE; VOLUNTATE; LIBENTER. 1. +Sponte+ (#pothos#) means voluntarily; whereas +ultro+, in an over-ready manner; so that +sponte+ refers to the mind of the agent, +ultro+ to the thing itself. Liv. x. 19. Orare ne collegæ auxilium, quod acciendum _ultro_ fuerit, _sua sponte_ oblatum sperneretur; and Tac. Hist. iv. 79. Suet. Cæs. 6. +Sponte accusare+ means to accuse of one's own accord; whereas +ultro accusare+ means to obtrude one's self into the office of an accuser, when one should be satisfied with not being one's self accused; according to which, +ultro accusavit+ may be resolved into the complete phrase: Haud contentus non accusari ab altero, _ultro_ etiam progressus est, ut ipse accusaret alterum, or, _ultro_ progressus accusavit alterum. 2. +Sponte+, from choice, is in opp. to _casu_, or _necessitate_, Colum. ii. 1, 13. Plin. Ep. v. 14. Tac. Ann. vi. 23; whereas +sua sponte+, quite of one's own accord, like #automatôs#, in opp. to _rogatus_, _provocatus_, or _invitatus_. Cæs. B. G. i. 44. Cic.

Ep. v. 8, 10. Hæc vel maxima vi, amaritudine, instantia; illa tractu et _suavitate_, atque etiam _dulcedine_ placet. Plin. H. N. xv. 27. _Dulce_, et pingue, et _suave_. (iii. 256.)

P. ii. 2. Tac. H. iv. 47; whereas +supremus+ is a poetical and solemn expression, with the accessory notion of elevation, like #hupatos#, almost in opp. to _infimus_. (iv. 357.) SUMPTUS; IMPENSÆ. +Sumptus+ means expense, so far as it diminishes wealth and capital, allied to prodigality; +impensæ+, so far as it serves to the attainment of an object, allied to sacrifice. (vi. 357.) SUPERARE, see _Vincere_. SUPERBIA; ARROGANTIA; FASTUS; INSOLENTIA. +Superbia+, from self-sufficiency, thinks others beneath itself, and considers them only as to the inferiority of their endowments; pride, in opp. to humility, +arrogantia+ would make others, who owe it no homage, sensible of its endowments or privileges, in opp. to modesty; +fastus+ (from #spathan#?) pushes men from itself, as unworthy to stand in connection with it, as a presumptuous, in opp. to a sober, unassuming disposition; +insolentia+ (from salire, insilire,) misemploys its superiority, in a rude manner, to the humiliation of the weaker, as insolence, in opp. to humanity and magnanimity.

SUPPLEMENTUM, see _Complementum_. SUPPLICARE, see _Rogare_. SUPREMUS, see _Summus_. SURCULUS, see _Rami_. SURRIPERE, see _Demere_. SUS; VERRES; SCROFA; PORCUS. +Sus+ (#hus#, #sus#,) is the most general name for swine, and that which is used by natural historians, like #hus#; +verres+, +scrofa+, +porcus+, are economical names; +verres+ (from #ersês#), a boar-pig; +scrofa+ (#gromphas#), a sow kept for breeding; +porcus+ (#porkos#), a young pig, like #choiros#. With +sus+ is associated the accessory notion of filthiness; with +porcus+, that of fatness. (v. 335.) SUSCIPERE, see _Sumere_. SUSPICERE, see _Vereri_. SUSPIRARE; GEMERE. +Suspirare+, to sigh, is a deep drawing of the breath and then forcible emission of it, as the immediate consequence of an afflicted heart; whereas +gemere+ (#gemein#), to groan, is more of a voluntary act, in order to give vent to the afflicted heart; hence +suspirium+ is more an expression of uneasiness and distress, +gemitus+ of actual pain. Cic. Att. ii. 21. Cum diu occulte _suspirassent_; postea jam _gemere_, ad extremum vero loqui omnes et clamare coeperunt. (v. 244.) SUSTINERE, SUSTENTARE, see _Ferre_. T. TABERNA, see _Deversorium_. TABULÆ, see _Axes_. TACERE, TACITURNUS, see _Silere_. TÆDA, see _Fax_. TÆDET, see _Piget_. TÆTER, see _Teter_. TALEA, see _Rami_. TALIO, see _Vindicta_. TARDARE, see _Manere_.

Hence the derivative +terrenus+ is in opp. to _igneus_; +solidus+ is in opp. to _fluidus_; lastly, +humilis+, in opp. to _sublimis_. (i. 173.) TEMETUM, see _Vinum_. TEMPERATIO, see _Modus_. TEMPESTAS, see _Ventus_. TEMPLUM; FANUM; DELUBRUM; ÆDES; SACELLUM. 1. +Templum+, +fanum+, and +delubrum+, denote properly the temple, together with the consecrated environs, like #hieron#; whereas +ædes+, the building only, like #naos#; lastly, +sacellum+, a consecrated place without the building, with merely an altar. 2. In a narrower sense, +templum+ denotes a great temple of one of the principal gods; whereas +fanum+ and +delubrum+, a smaller temple of an inferior god, or of a hero, etc. TEMPUS, see _Dies_.

Cic. Off. i. 34. Luxuria cum omni ætate _turpis_, tum senectuti _foedissima_ est. Rep. ii. 26. Tyrannus quo neque _tetrius_ neque _foedius_ . . . animal ullum cogitari potest. Vatin. 3.

TOTUS, see _Quisque_. TOXICUM; VENENUM; VIRUS. +Toxicum+ (from taxus) denotes poison, as a mere term in natural history, without accessory reference; +venenum+, as an artificial poison, of a sweet and tempting flavor; +virus+ (#eiar#, #ios#), as a noxious and distasteful juice or drink. Liv. ii. 52. Tribuni plebem agitare suo _veneno_, agraria lege; comp. with Cic. Læl. 23. Evomat _virus_ acerbitatis suæ. (v. 355.) TRABES; TIGNUM. +Trabes+, +trabs+ (#traphêx#) denotes a longer and narrower beam, like a pole; +tignum+, a shorter and thicker beam, like a block. A raft consists of _trabes_, not of _tigna_; whereas the wood-work of a building, which, as a pillar, is destined to support something, is composed of _tigna_, not of _trabes_, by which the cross-beams only are denoted. Cæs. B. Civ. ii. 9. Supra eum locum duo _tigna_ transversa injecerunt, quibus suspenderent eam contignationem supraque ea _tigna_ directo transversas _trabes_ injecerunt easque axibus religaverunt. (v. 290.) TRACTUS, see _Locus_. TRAGULUM, see _Missile_. TRAMES, see _Iter_. TRANQUILLUS, see _Quietus_. TRANS; ULS; ULTRA. +Trans+ and +uls+, like #peran#, in opp. to _cis_, denote, on the other side, with the character of unaccented prepositions, as a mere geometrical designation of place, like _super_; +trans+ (#tranes#) is the usual, +uls+ the antiquated and obsolete expression; whereas +ultra+ (comparative from ollus, ille), like #pera#, in opp. to _citra_, with emphasis and distinction of the relative distance of that which lies on the other side, like _supra_.

Protulit magnitudo populi Romani _ultra_ Rhenum _ultraque_ veteres terminos imperil reverentiam . . . Non numeraverim inter Germaniæ populos, quanquam _trans_ Rhenum Danubiumque considerint, eos, qui decumates agros exercent. Eutrop. vii. 9. Liv. xxii. 43. Tac. Ann. xvi. 17. (iii. 109.) TRANSFUGA, see _Perfuga_. TRANSVERSUS; OBLIQUUS. +Transversum+ means, that which crosses a straight line at right angles, like across; +obliquum+, that which is not perpendicular to a straight line, but forms with it unequal angles, the one acute, the other obtuse, like awry or slanting. (vi. 375.) TRIBUERE, see _Impertire_. TRISTITIA, see _Dolor_. TROICUS, TROIUS, see _Achivi_. TRUCIDARE, s. _Interficere_. TRUCULENTUS, s. _Atrox_. TRUDIS, see _Fustis_. TRUNCARE, see _Mutilare_. TRUNCUS, see _Stirps_. TRUX, see _Atrox_. TUERI; DEFENDERE. +Tueri+ (from #stochazesthai#) supposes only possible danger, as to protect, in opp. to _negligere_, Cic. Fin. iv. 14; +defendere+, an actual attack, as to defend, in opp. to _deserere_. Hence those that are under age have _tutores_; those that are accused, _defensores_. The _tuens_ shows more of carefulness and love, as seeking to prevent danger; the _defendens_, more of spirit and strength, as resisting danger. (iv. 307.) TUMERE, see _Turgere_. TUMULUS, see _Collis_. TURBA, see _Caterva_. TURBÆ; TUMULTUS; SEDITIO; SECESSIO; DEFICERE; DESCISCERE. +Turbæ+ and +tumultus+ denote the civil broils of public life; +turbæ+ (#turbê#) interruptions of public order; +tumultus+ (from tumere) of the public peace; whereas +seditio+ and +secessio+ are political commotions, in consequence of decided, evident differences of opinion, and of conflicting principles; +seditio+ (from se and ire) when concord is first disturbed, and the parties as yet contend with words only; +secessio+, when the prospect of reconciliation is already given up, and the parties either stand opposite each other, ready to come to blows, or, at least, have broken off all connection with each other. 2. The +seditiosi+ and +secedentes+ are citizens and members of a free community, and only suspend public concord; whereas the +deficientes+ and +desciscentes+ break a compact, because, either as subjected states they rebel, or as allies fall off; +deficere+, as the most general expression, represents the falling off, in a moral point of view, as a treacherous, fickle, cowardly desertion; +desciscere+ (from scindere) in a political point of view, as an alteration in the constitution and political system. (v. 363.) TURBO, see _Ventus_. TURGERE; TUMERE. +Turgere+ (#tragan#) denotes being swoln, with reference to actual corpulency and fulness, like #spargan#, #sphrigan#; whereas +tumere+ (from #stomphos#) with reference to concealed nothingness and emptiness, like #oidan#. Hence sails are called _turgida_, inasmuch as the wind, which swells them out, is something, and actually fills them; and _tumida_, inasmuch as it is merely air, consequently nothing, and only seems to fill them. (iv. 191.) TURIO, see _Rami_. TURPIS, see _Teter_. TUTUS; SECURUS; INCURIOSUS. 1. +Tutus+ denotes safety objectively, he who actually is safe, like #asphalês#; +securus+ (sine cura) subjectively, he who thinks himself safe; hence +tutus+ is used for provident, with reference to foresight; +securus+ is used as a softer expression, for improvident, with reference to the want of foresight. Sen. Ep. 97. _Tuta_ scelera esse possunt, _secura_ non possunt: and 105. The substantive _securitas_, however, must be used to supply the want of a similar substantive from _tutus_. 2. +Securus+, +securitas+, denote freedom from care and anxiety merely as a state of mind, like #amerimnos#, in opp. to _sollicitus_, Tac. Hist. iv. 58; whereas +incuriosus+, +incuria+, denote the want of carefulness and attention, with a practical reference, like heedless, #oligôros#, in opp. to _cura_. Sen. Ep. 100. Fabianus non erat negligens in oratione, sed _securus_. (iii. 120.) U. UBER, see _Foecundus_ and _Mamma_. UDUS; UVIDUS; HUMIDUS; AQUOSUS; MADIDUS. 1. +Uvidum+ and +udum+ (#huas#, vadum, from #huô#, uveo) denote, like #hugron#, the wetness which consists entirely of water or other fluid particles, whether actually, apparently, or only by hyperbole, _humore constans_; whereas +humidum+ and +humectum+ (from #chumos#) is the wetness which is caused by water soaking through, _humore mixtum_. Senec. N. Q. ii. 25. Dicis nubes attritas edere ignem cum sint _humidæ_, imo _udæ_. Hence is +udus+ (in opp. to _sudus_ and _solidus_) used by Tertullian as synonymous with _aquanus_; whereas _humidus_ (in opp. to _aridus_) is synonymous with _aquosus_, only that by _aquosus_ is meant a separation and juxta-position of wet and dry; by _humidus_, a mixture and association of wet and dry; hence _pratum aquosum_ means a meadow with ponds and puddles; _pratum humidum_, a meadow soaked with water. 2. +Udus+ is only a contracted form of _uvidus_; +humectus+ is distinguished from _humidus_ only as a sort of participle. Pacuv. ap. Varr. Terra exhalabat auroram _humidam, humectam_. 3. +Humidus+, +humens+, refer, like moist, to the inward quality of a body; whereas +madidus+, +madens+, like #mudaleos# and dripping, only to the exterior and surface of a body, in opp. to _siccus_. Cic. Phil. xiv. 3. Imbuti sanguine gladii legionum exercituumque nostrorum, vel _madefacti_ potius duobus consulum, tertio Cæsaris proelio; for +imbuere+, as the causative of _imbibere_, refers to a _humectatio_, a moisture of the inner part; +madefieri+, to a _redundatio_, the cause of which lies in this, that the inner part is so over-full, that nothing further can be forced into it. (ii. 12.) ULCUS, see _Vulnus_. ULIGO, see _Lacuna_. ULNA; LACERTUS; BRACHIUM; CUBITUS. +Ulna+ (#ôlenê#) is the whole arm, from the shoulder to the hand, which serves as a measure, an ell; +lacertus+ (#alkê#) the upper arm; +brachium+ (#branchion#, #brachiôn#), the under-arm; +cubitus+, the bending between the two, the elbow. (vi. 383.) ULS, ULTRA, see _Trans_. ULTIMUS, see _Extremus_. ULTIO, s. _Vindicta_. ULTRO, s. _Præterea_ and _Sponte_. UMBROSUS, see _Obscurus_. UNA; SIMUL. +Una+ means together, at the same place, like #homou#; whereas +simul+ (#homalôs#) at once, at the same time or moment, like #hama#. UNCTUS, see _Delibutus_. UNCUS, see _Curvus_. UNDA, see _Aqua_. UNICUS, see _Eminens_. UNIVERSUS, UNUSQUISQUE, see _Quisque_. USQUE, see _Semper_. USURA, see _Fænus_. [[main entry spelled "Foenus"]] USURPARE, see _Uti_. UTERQUE; AMBO; UTERVIS; UTERLIBET. 1. +Uterque+ denotes 'both,' as two unities, like #hekateros#; +ambo+, as the halves of a pair, like #amphô#. Cic. Fin. ii. 7. Hic, qui _utramque_ probat, _ambobus_ debuit uti. Orat. 6, 21. Terent. Ad. i. 2, 50. Curemus æquam _uterque_ partem; tu alterum, ego alterum; nam _ambos_ curare propemodum reposcere illum est quem dedisti. Plin. Pan. 90, 4. Vell. P. ii. 66. This difference is palpable from Cic. Mur. 18, 37. Duæ res vehementer in prætura desideratæ sunt, quæ _ambæ_ in consulatu Murenæ profuerunt . . . . Horum _utrumque_ ei fortuna ad consulatus petitionem reservavit. And Orat. iii. 26. A quibus _utrisque_ submittitur aliquid. 2. +Uterque+ and +ambo+ are copulative, and may be resolved into _unus et alter_, and have their predicate actually in common; whereas +utervis+ and +uterlibet+ are disjunctive, and may be resolved into _unus vel alter_, and have their predicate in common only by possibility. Ter. Andr. prol. 10. Qui _utramvis_ recte norit, _ambos_ noverit. (iv. 349.) UTI; USURPARE; FRUI; FRUNISCI. +Uti+ and +usurpare+ denote the mere act of using, by which a person turns a thing to his advantage; but +uti+ (from #oiô#) a permanent use; +usurpare+ (usui rapere) a single act of using; whereas +frui+ and the antiquated word +frunisci+ (from #phronein#), the pleasant feeling of this use, as to enjoy; +frui+ is the primitive, +frunisci+ the inchoative of the verb. Sen. Vit. B. 10. Tu voluptate _frueris_, ego _utor_. Flor. ii. 6. Hannibal cum victoria posset _uti_, _frui_ maluit. Cic. Rosc. Am. 45, 131. Commoda, quibus _utimur_, lucem, qua _fruimur_, spiritumque, quem ducimus, a Deo nobis dari. Cic. Cat. iii. 2, 5. Quorum opera . . . assidue _utor_; comp. with Fin. ii. 35, 118. In ea, quam sæpe _usurpabas_, tranquillitate degere omnem vitam. Cic. Orat. 51, 169. Post inventa conclusio est, qua credo _usuros_ veteres illos fuisse, si jam nota et _usurpata_ res esset. (iii. 134.) UTIQUE, see _Plane_. UVIDUS, see _Udus_. UXOR, see _Foemina_. [[redirects to _Femina_]] V.

(vi. 388.) VACILLARE, see _Labare_. VACUUS, see _Inanis_. VADERE, see _Ire_. VADUM, see _Solum_. VAFER, see _Astutus_. VAGARI, see _Errare_. VALDE, see _Perquam_. VALE, see _Ave_. VALENS, see _Salus_. VALERE, see _Posse_. VALETUDO, see _Æger_. VALIDUS; FIRMUS; ROBUSTUS. 1. +Validus+ (from #holos#, #oulos#), means strong, in an active sense, as able to perform something, in opp. to _imbecillis_, Cic. Fam. vii. 1. Plin. H. N. xiv. 21, like #sthenaros#; whereas +firmus+ and +robustus+, in a passive sense, as able to endure; +firmum+ (from #phraxai#, #phargnumi#), strong from an immovable position, and, consequently, stedfast, in opp. to _labans_, _vacillans_, and, for want of a corresponding adjective, to _imbecillus_, Cic. Fam. ix. 16. Sall. Jug. 10. Quintil. v. 10, 49, like #bebaios#; +robustum+ (from #errhôsthai#) through its compact nature, and its impenetrable and, consequently, durable materials, nearly in opp. to _tenerum_, like #rhômaleos# and #ischuros#. 2. +Imbecillitas+ denotes generally a mental, +infirmitas+, a bodily weakness, according to Cic. Fin. v. 45. In _infirma_ ætate, _imbecillaque_ mente: both are sometimes used in a mental sense, in which case +imbecillitas+ denotes a natural weakness of the head or heart, a want of talent or of spirit; whereas +infirmitas+, a moral weakness of character, fickleness and uncertainty, for example: Cæs. B. G. vii. 77. Nolite stultitia ac temeritate vestra aut _imbecillitate_ animi omnem Galliam prosternere; comp. with iv. 5. Cæsar _infirmitatem_ Gallorum veritus, quod sunt in consiliis capiendis mobiles et rebus plerumque novis student. Or, Cic. Divin. ii. 60, with Fam. xv. 1. Or, Tac. Ann. iv. 8, with Hist. i. 9. (iv. 164.) VALLUM, see _Agger_. VALLUS, see _Stipes_. VALVÆ, see _Ostium_. VARIUS; DIVERSUS; CONTRARIUS; VERSICOLOR; VARIEGARE. 1. +Varium+ (from #aiolos#) means, possessing differences in its own texture, varied; whereas +diversum+, differing from something else, distinct. Catull. 47, 10. Quos longe simul a domo profectos _diverse variæ_ viæ reportant; that is, whom various ways, in an entirely different direction, bring home. Tac. Hist. i. 25. Otho postquam _vario_ sermone callidos et audaces cognovit pretio et promissis onerat . . . Suspensos cæterorum animos _diversis_ artibus (namely, spe et metu) stimulant. 2. The +diversa+ will have nothing in common, and go different or even opposite ways from each other; whereas the +contraria+ confront and stand directly opposite to each other. Hence the following climax in Cic. Divin. ii. 26, 55. _Diversas_ aut etiam _contrarias_. Vell. Pat. ii. 75. _Diversa_ præsentibus et _contraria_ exspectatis sperare. Quintil. v. 10, 26. 3. +Varium+ denotes variegated, as exhibiting different colors at the same time, like #poikilon#; whereas +versicolor+, that which changes its color, according to the light in which it is held, like #aiolon#. Propert. iii. 13, 32. Aut _variam_ plumæ _versicoloris_ avem.

VENDERE; VENUNDARE; MANCIPARE. +Vendere+ and +venundare+ denote the selling of any thing as a mercantile act; but in +vendere+ (#anadounai#) the disposing of the thing is the principal notion, the price merely secondary, in opp. to emere, like #apodosthai#; in +venundare+, the previous having for sale, or offering for sale, is the principal notion, as in #pipraskein#, #pôlein#, #apempolan#; whereas +mancipare+ denotes a juridical act, in consequence of which a thing is alienated, and, with all that belongs to it, transferred to another, in a legal form, as his property.

(iv. 29.) VERERI; TIMERE; METUERE; SPES; FIDUCIA; TIMOR; TIMIDITAS; IGNAVIA; FORMIDO; HORROR. 1. +Vereri+ (#horan#?) like #aideisthai#, has its foundation in what is strikingly venerable; +metuere+ and +timere+, like #deisai#; and #phobeisthai#, in the threatening danger of an object. The _timens_ and _metuens_ fear the danger; the _verens_, the disgrace and shame. Cic. Phil. xii. 12. Quid? veteranos non _veremur_? nam _timeri_ ne ipsi quidem volunt. Sen. 11, 37. _Metuebant_ eum servi, _verebantur_ liberi, carum omnes habebant. Liv. xxxix. 37. _Veremur_ quidem vos Romani et si ita vultis etiam _timemus_. Afran. ap. Gell. xv. 13. Ubi malunt _metui_, quam _vereri_ se ab suis. Senec. Ir. iii. 32. Quibusdam _timeamus_ irasci, quibusdam _vereamur_. 2. +Metus+ (#matan#) is fear, only as the anticipation of an impending evil, and reflection upon it, the apprehension that proceeds from foresight and prudence, like #deos#, synonymously with _cautio_; whereas +timor+ (from #tremô#), the fear that proceeds from cowardice and weakness. Or, +metus+ is an intellectual notion; fear, as from reflection, in opp. to _spes_; for instances, see Cic. Verr. ii. 54. Off. ii. 6. Liv. xxx. 9. Suet. Aug. 25. Tac. H. i. 18. Ann. ii. 12, 38. Sen. Ep. 5. Suet. Aug. 5. Cels. ii. 6. Curt. viii. 6:--whereas +timor+ is a moral notion, fear as a feeling, in opp. to _fiducia_, _animus_. Cic. Divin. ii. 31. Att. v. 20. Rull. i. 8. Sallust. Jug. ii. 3. Tac. Hist. ii. 80. Plin. Ep. v. 17. 3. In the like manner are +spes+, hope, and +fiducia+, confidence, distinguished. Sen. Ep. 16. Jam de te _spem_ habeo, nondum _fiduciam_. Tac. Agr. 2. Nec _spem_ modo ac votum securitas publica, sed ipsius voti _fiduciam_ ac robur assumpserit. Suet. Cl. 10. Aliquanto minore _spe_ quam _fiducia_. Liv. x. 25. Curt. ix. 4, 25. 4. +Timor+ denotes fear, as a temporary state; +timiditas+, fearfulness, as an habitual quality, which is connected with _ignavia_, as a more precise expression for the more general feeling. Lactant. iii. 17. Epicurus . . . _ignavum_ prohibet accedere ad rem publicam, pigrum exercere, _timidum_ militare. +Ignavia+ is inaptitude for any noble action, and particularly for deeds of valor; +timiditas+ is, under certain circumstances, excusable; +ignavia+ is absolutely blamable. 5. +Metus+ and +timor+ have their foundation in reflection, whereby a person is made clearly aware of the object and ground of his apprehension; whereas +horror+ and +formido+ is an immediate feeling, which overpowers the understanding by the dreadful image of the nearness of some horrid object, and can give no account of the ground of its fear; +formido+ (fremere) expresses this state immediately as a state of mind, like #orrhôdia#; whereas +horror+ (#chersos#) as the bodily expression of this state, by the hair standing on end, the eyes wildly staring, etc., like #phrikê#. Tac. H. iv. 45. _Metus_ per omnes ac præcipua Germanici militis _formido_. (ii. 190.) VERERI; REVERERI; VENERARI; COLERE; OBSERVARE; ADORARE; ADMIRARI; SUSPICERE. 1. +Vereri+ and +revereri+ mean, to feel reverence; whereas +venerari+, to show reverence. Tac. Ann. xiv. 13; comp. _venerationem_ sui with matris _reverentia_. 2. +Vereri+ (#horan#?) denotes respect bordering on fear and bashfulness; whereas +revereri+, fear and bashfulness arising from respect. In _vereri_, fear, in _revereri_, respect is the principal notion: hence +verecundia+ is the dread of exposing one's self before the person respected; whereas +reverentia+, the calm consciousness that some one is worthy of this reverential feeling. 3. +Venerari+ (#antesthai#?) is used (at least in Cicero) only for demonstrations of reverence towards the gods and sacred things; +observare+, only for such demonstrations towards men; +colere+, towards either. Cic. Rep. i. 12. Ut . . . Africanum ut deum _coleret_ Lælius, domi vicissim Lælium _observaret_ in parentis loco Scipio. And, N. D. i. 42. ii. 28. The +venerans+ seeks only to express due reverence, and by self-humiliation to avert the anger of the gods; the +colens+ (from #kolax#) seeks by acts of courtesy, of service, and of respect, to win the affection of some one, and the fruits of it, as from a cultivated field. +Veneratio+ shows itself more in prayer; +cultus+, more in sacrifice: +veneratio+ is more a single, transient act; +cultus+ more a permanent expression of respect. Tac. H. i. 10. Vespasianus . . . Titum filium ad _venerationem cultumque_ (ejus) miserat; that is, that he might do homage to the new emperor, and then also remain in his circle of courtiers. 4. +Observare+ (from #eruesthai#) involves a mere negative notion, and denotes having regard for, in opp. to slighting; yet is not, on this account, _colere_ a stronger, _observare_ a weaker term. +Colere+, indeed, involves more palpable activity, _operam_; whereas +observare+, more tender regard, _pietatem_; hence sometimes the one, sometimes the other, is the stronger expression. 5. +Adorare+ is the most general expression for any sort of worship; whereas +veneratio+ consists more in gestures, +precatio+ in words. 6. _Reveremur validas auctoritates; admiramur raras virtutes; suspicimus excellentia dignitate._ At the same time it appears to me, that the _reverens_ is in a state of silent awe; the _admirans_ with the expression of loud, or at least visible enthusiasm; the _suspiciens_, under the image of one looking up to another with an humble feeling of his own inferiority. +Revereri+ refers especially to moral; +admirari+, to intellectual and moral; +suspicere+, to any, even adventitious, pre-eminences. (ii. 185.) VERRES, see _Sus_. VERSICOLOR, see _Varius_. VERSUTUS, see _Astutus_. VERTERE; TORQUERE; CONVERTERE; INVERTERE; PERVERTERE. +Vertere+ means to turn, that is, to move anything in order to give it another position or situation, like #trepein#; +torquere+ (from #trekô#), #atrekês#), to twist, that is, in order to move a fixed point, like #strephein#. 2. +Convertere+ means, either to turn in a body, with reference to those acting, as, for instance, Ut pæne terga _convertant_; or, with reference to the action, to turn completely; whereas +invertere+ means, to turn only half round, so that the reverse side of the thing turned is exposed; lastly, +pervertere+ means to turn upside down, so that the thing turned becomes useless, or falls to the ground. (v. 289.) VERUTUM, see _Missile_. VESANUS, see _Amens_. VESTIS; VESTITUS; VESTIMENTUM; AMICTUS; AMICULUM; CULTUS; HABITUS. 1. +Vestis+ (from vas, Goth. wastjan) is the most general expression, and denotes sometimes the whole clothes; +vestitus+, sometimes only a single article of dress, _vestimentum_. +Vestem mutare+ denotes, to go into mourning; +vestimenta mutare+, to shift one's clothes. 2. +Vestis+ and +vestimentum+ denote the clothes which cover the body, as necessary or decent; +amictus+ and +amiculum+ (from ambi and jacere) the cloak or mantle which covers the under-clothing, for the sake of warmth or of ornament; +amictus+, the whole of the over-clothing; +amiculum+, a single article, as a mantle. Tac. G. 17. Feminæ sæpius lineis _amictibus_ velantur, partemque _vestitus_ superioris in manicas non extendunt. Curt. v. 1, 38. Sil. It. vii. 447. 3. +Cultus+ and +habitus+ have a wider meaning than _vestis_; +cultus+ (occulere) whatever belongs to dress, girdle, hat, ornaments, arms, etc.; +habitus+, whatever belongs to the exterior in general, cleanliness, mode of dressing the hair, carriage of the body, etc. Suet. Cæs. 44. Dicam ea, quæ ad formam et _habitum_ et _cultum_ et mores pertinebant. Cal. 52. _Vestitu_ calceatuque cæteroque _habitu_. (v. 209.) VETARE; INTERDICERE. +Vetare+ means to forbid by virtue of the law, in opp. to _jubere_; whereas +interdicere+, to forbid, by virtue of official authority, in opp. to _addicere_, _permittere_.

(iv. 89.) VETUS, VETUSTUS, see _Antiquus_ and _Puer_. VIA, see _Iter_. VIBRARE, see _Librare_.

The _finitimi_ are _finibus diremti_; whereas the _confines_ are _confinio conjuncti_. (v. 181.) VICISSIM; INVICEM; MUTUO. +Vicissim+ (from #eikazô#) denotes, like on the other hand, and in hand, and in turn, a successive; +invicem+ and +mutuo+, like reciprocally and in return, a mutual acting and suffering between two persons or things; +invicem+, more with reference to reciprocal actions; +mutuo+, to reciprocal or mutual states.

VIDERE; CERNERE; SPECTARE; INTUERI; CONSPICERE; ADSPICERE; ADSPECTUS; CONSPECTUS; OBTUTUS. 1. +Videre+ and +cernere+ denote seeing, as perceiving by the organ of sight; +videre+ (#idein#) as perception in general, in opp. to an obstruction of the view, like #horan#; +cernere+ (#krinein#) especially as a clear perception, in opp. to a transient or dim view; whereas +spectare+, +intueri+, +tueri+, and +contueri+, denote looking, as the dwelling of the eyes upon an object; +spectare+ means, quietly to fix the eye upon an object that interests the understanding, and dwell upon it as upon a theatrical representation, like #theasthai#; whereas +intueri+ (from #stochazomai#), to fix the eye upon something that strikes the fancy or soul, as to contemplate, #theôrein#. Cic. Fam. vii. 1. Neque nos qui hæc _spectavimus_, quidquam novi _vidimus_. 2. +Intueri+ denotes merely to contemplate attentively; +contueri+, to gaze upon fixedly, keenly, and with eyes widely opened. 3. +Conspicere+ means to descry, that is, to get sight of an object of one's self, and generally of an unexpected object; whereas +adspicere+ means to look at, that is, to cast one's eye upon an object, whether consciously or not. 4. +Adspectus+ has an active meaning, as the looking at; +conspectus+, a passive meaning, as the sight of, that is, the appearance, often also the _field of view_, _sight_ [as in _to be_ or _come in sight_]; +obtutus+ has a neutral sense, as the look. Suet. Tib. 43. Ut _adspectu_ deficientes libidines excitaret; comp. with Cal. 9. Tumultuantes _conspectu_ suo flexit; and with Cic. Orat. iii. 5.

DRAPER, PUBLISHER AND BOOKSELLER, +ANDOVER, MASS.,+ Publishes and offers for Sale the following Works, which will be sent, post-paid, on receipt of the sums affixed. +GARDINER'S GREEK HARMONY.+ A Harmony of the Four Gospels in Greek, according to the Text of Tischendorf, with a Collation of the Textus Receptus, and of the Texts of Griesbach, Lachmann, and Tregelles. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 8vo. $2.50. "A very important matter in the preparation of the Harmony is, of course, the choice of a text. The one chosen by Professor Gardiner is that of Tischendorf's eighth edition of the New Testament. This text was chosen because 'it embodied the latest results of criticism, having had the advantage throughout of the Codex Sinaiticus and of a more close collation of the Codex Vaticanus.' Professor Gardiner would, indeed, have published his Harmony more than a year ago, but waited till opportunity could be given for consulting this last edition of Tischendorf. It is an obvious merit in this Harmony, that the student can see at a glance whether or not the text of Tischendorf agrees or conflicts with that of Griesbach, Lachmann, and Tregelles in places where there is a difference of opinion. It is another excellence of the work that the Greek text is so accurate, evincing the most scrupulous care and thorough scholarship on the part of the editor." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "The notes of the author are marked by scholarship and good sense. The student will find it a convenient manual for the study of the Gospels, because he sees upon one and the same page the readings of the principal editions and manuscripts, together with the quotations made by the evangelists from the Old Testament." --_Princeton Review._ "Dr. Gardiner's work has been well done, and he has given us a Harmony of great value." --_Quarterly Review Evang. Luth. Church._ "By this scholarly work Dr. Gardiner has rendered all diligent students of the Gospel narrative an invaluable service. In a single volume, and by the most satisfactory arrangement of the several and inspired accounts of the life and doings of our Lord, the book furnishes the best results of the ablest and most laborious investigation of all known sources of knowledge regarding the original sacred text." --_Reformed Church Monthly._ "It is a superior work of its kind." --_National Baptist._ "This book, the result of great research and utmost painstaking, is well worthy the consideration of all Bible scholars." --_Watchman and Reflector._ +GARDINER'S ENGLISH HARMONY.+ A Harmony of the Four Gospels in English, according to the Authorized Version; corrected by the best Critical Editions of the Original. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 8vo. Cloth, $2.00. "The Harmony in English, the title of which is given above, is a reproduction of the Harmony in Greek; no other changes being made than such as were required to fit the work for the use of the English reader who desires to learn some of the improvements which modern criticism has made in the authorized English text." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "We gladly commend this Harmony to every intelligent reader of the Scriptures. The need of such a guide is felt by every thoughtful Churchman at least once a year--in Holy Week--when he desires to read the events of each day in the order in which they happened so many years ago. We do not think that our laymen know how much they will be helped to the understanding of the Gospels by a simple Harmony, perhaps read as we suggested above, in connection with some standard Life of our Lord." --_The Churchman._ +LIFE OF CHRIST.+ The Life of our Lord in the Words of the Gospels. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 16mo. pp. 256. $1.00 "It is well adapted to the convenience of pastors, to the needs of teachers in the Bible-class and Sabbath-school, to the religious instruction of families. It bids fair to introduce improvements into the style of teaching the Bible to the young." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "This little volume will not only answer as a Harmony of the Gospels for the use of those who only care to have results, but it will be an excellent book to read at family prayers, or to study with a Bible-class." --_Christian Union._ +ELLICOTT'S COMMENTARY, CRITICAL AND GRAMMATICAL+, on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians. With an Introductory Notice by C. E. STOWE, Professor in Andover Theological Seminary. 8vo. pp. 183. $1.50. The Commentaries of Prof. Ellicott supply an urgent want in their sphere of criticism. Prof. Stowe says of them, in his Notice: "It is the crowning excellence of these Commentaries that they are exactly what they profess to be, _critical_ and _grammatical_, and therefore, in the best sense of the term, _exegetical_. . . . . . His results are worthy of all confidence. He is more careful than Tischendorf, slower and more steadily deliberate than Alford, and more patiently laborious than any other living New Testament critic, with the exception, perhaps, of Tregelles." "They [Ellicott's Commentaries] have set the first example, in this country, [England] of a thorough and fearless examination of the grammatical and philological requirements of every word of the sacred text. I do not know of anything superior to them, in their own particular line, in Germany; and they add, what, alas! is so seldom found in that country, profound reverence for the matter and subjects on which the author is laboring; nor is their value lessened by Mr. Ellicott's having confined himself for the most part to one department of a commentator's work--the grammatical and philological." --_Dean Alford._ "The _critical_ part is devoted to the settling of the text, and this is admirably done, with a labor, skill, and conscientiousness unsurpassed." --_Bib. Sacra._ "We have never met with a learned commentary on any book of the New Testament so nearly perfect in every respect as the 'Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians,' by Prof. Ellicott, of King's College, London,--learned, devout, and orthodox." --_Independent._ "We would recommend all scholars of the original Scriptures who seek directness, luminous brevity, the absence of everything irrelevant to strict grammatical inquiry, with a concise and yet very complete view of the opinions of others, to possess themselves of Ellicott's Commentaries." --_American Presbyterian._ +COMMENTARY ON EPHESIANS.+ 8vo. pp. 190. $1.50. +COMMENTARY ON THESSALONIANS.+ 8vo. pp. 171. $1.50. +COMMENTARY ON THE PASTORAL EPISTLES.+ 8vo. $2.00. +COMMENTARY ON PHILIPPIANS, COLOSSIANS, AND PHILEMON.+ $2.00. THE SET in five vols., on fine paper, extra cloth, bevelled, gilt tops. $10.00. THE SET in two vols., black cloth $8.00. +HENDERSON ON THE MINOR PROPHETS.+ THE BOOK OF THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS. Translated from the Original Hebrew. With a Commentary, Critical, Philological, and Exegetical. By E. HENDERSON, D.D. With a Biographical Sketch of the Author, by E. P. BARROWS, Hitchcock Professor in Andover Theological Seminary. 8vo. pp. 490. $3.50. "This Commentary on the Minor Prophets, like that on the Prophecy of Isaiah, has been highly and deservedly esteemed by professional scholars, and has been of great service to the working ministry. We are happy to welcome it in an American edition, very neatly printed." --_Bib. Sacra._ "Clergymen and other students of the Bible will be glad to see this handsome American edition of a work which has a standard reputation in its department, and which fills a place that is filled, so far as we know, by no other single volume in the English language. Dr. Henderson was a good Hebrew and Biblical scholar, and in his Commentaries he is intelligent, brief, and to the point." --_Boston Recorder._ "The American publisher issues this valuable work with the consent and approbation of the author, obtained from himself before his death. It is published in substantial and elegant style, clear white paper and beautiful type. The work is invaluable for its philological research and critical acumen. The notes are learned, reliable, and practical, and the volume deserves a place in every theological student's library." --_American Presbyterian, etc._ "Of all his Commentaries none are more popular than his Book of the Minor Prophets." --_Christian Observer._ "This is probably the best Commentary extant on the Minor Prophets. The work is worthy of a place in the library of every scholar and every diligent and earnest reader of the Bible." --_Christian Chronicle._ +COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.+ By MOSES STUART, late Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Seminary at Andover. Third Edition. Edited and revised by PROF. R. D. C. ROBBINS. 12mo. pp. 544. $2.25. "His Commentary on the Romans is the most elaborate of all his works. It has elicited more discussion than any of his other exegetical volumes. It is the result of long continued, patient thought. It expresses, in clear style, his maturest conclusions. It has the animating influence of an original treatise, written on a novel plan, and under a sense of personal responsibility. Regarding it in all its relations, its antecedents and consequents, we pronounce it the most important Commentary which has appeared in this country on this Epistle." --_Bib. Sacra._ "We heartily commend this work to all students of the Bible. The production of one of the first Biblical scholars of our age, on the most important of all the doctrinal books of the New Testament, it deserves the careful study, not only of those who agree with Prof. Stuart in his theological and exegetical principles, but of those who earnestly dissent from some of his views in both respects." --_Watchman and Reflector._ "This contribution by Prof. Stuart has justly taken a high place among the Commentaries on the Epistle to the Romans, and, with his other works, will always be held in high estimation by the student of the Sacred Scriptures." --_New York Observer._ +COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS.+ By PROF. M. STUART. Third Edition. Edited and revised by PROF. R. D. C. ROBBINS. 12mo. pp. 575. $2.25. "It is a rich treasure for the student of the original. As a commentator, Prof. Stuart was especially arduous and faithful in following up the thought and displaying the connection of a passage, and his work as a scholar will bear comparison with any that have since appeared on either side of the Atlantic." --_American Presbyterian._ "This Commentary is classical, both as to its literary and its theological merits. The edition before us is very skilfully edited, by Professor Robbins, and gives in full Dr. Stuart's text, with additions bringing it down to the present day." --_Episcopal Recorder._ "We have always regarded this excellent Commentary as the happiest effort of the late Andover Professor. It seems to us well-nigh to exhaust the subjects which the author comprehended in his plan." --_Boston Recorder._ "It is from the mind and heart of an eminent Biblical scholar, whose labors in the cause of sacred learning will not soon be forgotten." --_Christian Observer._ +COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF PROVERBS.+ By PROF. M. STUART. 12mo. pp. 432. $1.75. "This is the last work from the pen of Prof. Stuart. Both this Commentary and the one preceding it, on Ecclesiastes, exhibit a mellowness of spirit which savors of the good man ripening for heaven; and the style is more condensed, and, in that respect, more agreeable, than in some of the works which were written in the unabated freshness and exuberant vigor of his mind. In learning and critical acumen they are equal to his former works. No English reader, we venture to say, can elsewhere find so complete a philological exposition of these two important books of the Old Testament." --_Bib. Sacra._ +COMMENTARY ON ECCLESIASTES.+ By MOSES STUART, late Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Seminary at Andover. Second Edition. Edited and revised by R. D. C. ROBBINS, Professor in Middlebury College. 12mo. $1.50 The Introduction discusses the general nature of the book; its special design and method, diction, authority, credit, and general history; ancient and modern versions, and commentaries. The Commentary is strictly and minutely exegetical. +STUART'S MISCELLANIES.+ pp. 369. 12mo. $1.00. CONTENTS.--I. Letters to Dr. Channing on the Trinity.--II. Two Sermons on the Atonement.--III. Sacramental Sermon on the Lamb of God.--IV. Dedication Sermon.--Real Christianity.--V. Letter to Dr. Channing on Religious Liberty.--VI. Supplementary Notes and Postscripts. +COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE.+ 2 vols. 8vo. pp. 564, 504. $5.00. +CRITICAL HISTORY AND DEFENCE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT CANON.+ 12mo. pp. 450. $1.75. +Angel over the Right Shoulder, The;+ or the Beginning of a New Year. By the Author of "Sunnyside." 40 cents. "It is as provokingly short as it is exquisitely beautiful." --_Boston Recorder._ "What a blessed thing is a sunny spirit, ever cheerful and happy, and ever diffusing joy over all around it. Such a spirit is the Author of "Sunny Side." She comes to us again as a living angel--in good omen over the _right_ shoulder. We commend it to all mothers, and especially to all Mrs. Jellabys." --_Independent._ +Carlyle, Thomas. Latter-Day Pamphlets.+ 12mo. $1.00 CONTENTS.--The Present Time.--Model Prisons.--Downing Street.--The New Downing Street.--Stump Orator.--Parliaments.--Hudson's Statue.--Jesuitism. +A Collection of the Proverbs of all Nations.+ Compared, Explained, and Illustrated. By WALTER B. KELLY. 12mo. $1.25 "This is one of those books, like Roget's Thesaurus, Haydn's Dictionary of Dates, and Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer, which contains a vast amount of information in a very small space--books that a writer cannot afford to be without, for they contain information that by days of research in libraries one would hardly be able to obtain. This collection contains all the proverbs which are familiar in all nations. They are classified under various heads, such as Women, Love, Marriage, Home, Self-conceit, Ingratitude, and so on. There is also a full index, which enables one at once to find any particular proverb. Another excellent feature is, that when a proverb is taken from another language, not only the English, but the original is given. The book is replete with good things. It supplies a want that many a one has felt--a want that no dictionary, gazetteer, or book of quotations now supplies." --_College Courant._ "It is not possible, perhaps, to collect the proverbial wisdom of the world in any more attractive form than this of Mr. Kelly's. . . . . . As a book for the library, an armory where a writer or a speaker may be armed and equipped in a single line; as a book for the centre-table, something that you can read a page or twenty pages of, have your reading cut short anywhere, and still be complete and intensely interesting besides,--as a book for either of these purposes, the "Proverbs of all Nations" will be found very acceptable. Certain it is, at least, that "you may go farther and fare worse."" --_Christian Freeman._ +Value of the Study of Church History in Ministerial Education.+ A Lecture delivered to the Senior Class of Andover Theological Seminary. By EGBERT C. SMYTH. 8vo. Paper, 25 cents. +God's Ownership of the Sea.+ By LEONARD SWAIN, D.D. Reprinted from the Bibliotheca Sacra. Paper, 25 cents. A remarkably interesting Essay on the office and uses of the sea. +Political Economy.+ Designed as a Text-Book for Colleges. By JOHN BASCOM, A. M., Professor in Williams College. 12mo. pp. 366. $1.50 "It goes over the whole ground in a logical order. The matter is perspicuously arranged under distinct chapters and sections; it is a compendious exhibition of the principles of the science without prolonged disquisitions on particular points." --_Princeton Review._ "This is a valuable work upon a subject of much interest. Professor Bascom writes well, and his book makes an excellent manual." --_Boston Recorder._ "The book is worthy a careful study, both for the views it contains and as a mental training." --_Evening Express._ +Questions on Kühner's Elementary Greek Grammar.+ By CHARLES W. BATEMAN, LL.D.; with Modifications and Notes by SAMUEL H. TAYLOR, LL.D., Principal of Phillips Academy. 12mo. pp. 57. Paper covers. 40 cts. These "Questions" are a valuable aid to the pupil in making his knowledge of the principles of the Grammar more definite, and in fixing them more permanently in his mind. They will also greatly aid the teacher to systematize his work, and lighten the labor of teaching. These "Questions," though prepared with special reference to Kühner's Grammar, are equally applicable to any elementary Greek Grammar. They are a valuable aid. +Döderlein's Hand-Book of Latin Synonymes.+ Translated by REV. H. H. ARNOLD, B.A., with an Introduction by S. H. TAYLOR, LL.D. New Edition, with an Index of Greek words. 16mo. pp. 267. $1.25 "The present hand-book of Döderlein is remarkable for the brevity, distinctness, perspicuity, and appositeness of its definitions. It will richly reward not merely the classical, but the general student for the labor he may devote to it. It is difficult to open the volume, even at random, without discovering some hint which may be useful to a theologian. . . . . . From the preceding extracts it will be seen that this hand-book is useful in elucidating many Greek, as well as Latin synonymes." --_Bib. Sacra._ "The little volume mentioned above, introduced to the American public by an eminent scholar and teacher, Samuel H. Taylor, LL.D., is one of the best helps to the thorough appreciation of the nice shades of meaning in Latin words that have met my eye. It deserves the attention of teachers and learners, and will amply reward patient study." --_Prof. E. D. Sanborn._ "We have been acquainted for some years with the merits of this work, and cordially commend it as one of the best manuals on Latin synonymes, and admirably adapted to the wants of the student." --_Evangelical Review._ "It is well adapted to school purposes, and embraces all that is necessary on this subject. He has often introduced also the nearest corresponding expression both in the Greek and German languages, and placed them side by side with the Latin synonyme." --_Evening Express._ "We have no hesitation in saying that this is the best work on Latin synonymes that has yet been published." --_Universalist Quarterly._ +Classical Study:+ Its Usefulness illustrated by Selections from the Writings of Eminent Scholars. Edited, with an Introduction, by SAMUEL H. TAYLOR, LL.D., Principal of Phillips Academy. 12mo. $2.00 Professor _J. R. Boise, of the University of Chicago_, thus writes in the March number of the _Illinois Teacher_: "The selection of essays made by Dr. Taylor is eminently judicious, and presents the views of many leading writers, both in Europe and in this country. The Introduction, containing about thirty pages, gives, first, a concise and clear sketch of the history of the controversy on the value of classical studies; and then, several reasons why the highest benefits of classical study are seldom reached in this country. On this latter point, we know of no one better qualified by education and long experience as a teacher to speak wisely . . . . . To all who desire the best collection of essays in our language on classical study, the work of Dr. Taylor will be very welcome. It should have a conspicuous place in every school-library, and in the private library of every educator in our land . . . . . Not the least valuable part of the volume is the Introduction, in which Dr. Taylor so ably, clearly, and fairly balances the arguments on the two sides." "We commend the book as a valuable collection of essays on the higher methods of mental training." --_American Presbyterian._ +The Theology of the Greek Poets.+ By W. S. TYLER, Williston Professor of Greek in Amherst College. 12mo. Cloth. $1.75 "Professor Tyler has here produced a work which is an honor to American literature. It is well fitted to be a classic in our Colleges and Theological Seminaries. It furnishes admirable illustrations of the truth of both natural and revealed theology, and suggests original methods for the defence of these truths." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "The book is an important contribution to natural theology. It traces the relation of the theology of the Greek poets to that of Christ. Prof. Tyler does his work with the mind of a master." --_Zion's Herald._ +The Kingdom of Christ on Earth:+ Twelve Lectures delivered before the Students of the Theological Seminary, Andover. By SAMUEL HARRIS, Dwight Professor of Systematic Theology in Yale College. 8vo. $1.75 "These lectures are characterized by a firm grasp of the subject, by profound and thorough comprehension of the facts and principles which it involves, by a lucid and connected method, and a perspicuous and popular style. The subject is of the very essence of the Christian system. The specific views presented are judicious and sound. The student in theology will find that a careful study of these lectures, pursued so far as to bring the whole presentation into living and shaping relation to his religious thought, will be of inestimable advantage to him in clearing away mists and difficulties, in harmonizing and systematizing his religious knowledge, in opening views into remoter fields of truth, in guiding and quickening his mind generally in its contemplation of religious truth." --_The College Courant._ +_Works of William G. T. Shedd, recently Professor of Ecclesiastical History in Andover Theol. Sem._+ +Discourses and Essays.+ 12mo. pp. 324. $1.50 "These elaborate articles are written in a lucid and racy style, and invest with a rare interest the themes of which they treat." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "These Discourses are all marked by profound thought and perspicuity of sentiment." --_Princeton Review._ "These Essays are, every one of them, a rich treat for the thinkers, the lovers of deep thought; of thought clothed in a strong, terse, stern, clear expression." --_Methodist Quarterly Review._ "Papers like these are worthy the deepest study and the warmest admiration of the best minds; the entire volume is a storehouse from which thoughts rich and truthful may be drawn." --_Presbyterian Quarterly._ +Lectures upon the Philosophy of History.+ 12mo. 75 cts. "This volume consists of four Lectures, of which the following are the titles: The Abstract Idea of History; The Nature and Definition of Secular History; The Nature and Definition of Church History; The Verifying Test in Church History. It is written in a lucid style, and will interest the students of theology and of history." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "The style of these Lectures has striking merits. The author chooses his words with rare skill and taste, from an ample vocabulary; and writes with strength and refreshing simplicity." --_New Englander._ +Outlines of a Systematic Rhetoric.+ From the German of DR. FRANCIS THEREMIN, by W. G. T. SHEDD. $1.00 "The Introductory Essay which Professor Shedd has prefixed to this valuable Treatise, is elaborate, vigorous, impressive. It excites the mind not only to thought, but also to the expression of thought--to inward and outward activity. The whole volume is characterized by freshness and originality of remark, a purity and earnestness of moral feeling." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "The subject is ably unfolded in this compact yet thorough treatise. What, however, is exhibited by Theremin in a dry light, in the form of naked philosophic statement, is displayed by Professor Shedd in his Introductory Essay, with that glow of life, beauty, and force which distinguishes his writings." --_Princeton Review._ +Guericke's Church History+ (Ancient Church; including the First Six Centuries). 8vo. $3.00 "Characterized by research, devoutness, firm grasp of evangelical truth, and careful exhibition of the practical as well as the intellectual aspects of Christianity." --_North British Review._ "We regard Professor Shedd's version as a happy specimen of the _transfusion_, rather than a _translation_, which many of the German treatises should receive. The style of his version is far superior to that of the original." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ +Guericke's Church History--Mediæval Church.+ $1.50 "This portion of Guericke's Church History continues the account down to A.D. 1073, when Hildebrand ascended the Papal chair as Gregory VII. With the previous volume, this addition comprises the History of the Church during the first ten centuries." +Remarks on the Internal Evidence for the Truth of Revealed Religion.+ By THOMAS ERSKINE, Esq., Advocate. Third American, from Fifth Edinburgh Ed. 16mo. 75 cts. "The entire treatise cannot fail to commend the positions which it advocates to intelligent and considerate minds. It is one of the best, perhaps the best, of all the discussions of this momentous subject." --_Congregationalist._ "This argument of Erskine for the Internal Evidence of the Truth of Revealed Religion, is the most compact, natural, and convincing we have ever read from any author." --_Christian Chronicle._ "No man ought to consider himself as having studied theology unless he has read and pondered and read again 'Erskine on the Internal Evidence.'" --_Independent._ +_Writings of Archbishop Whately._+ Published under the sanction of the author, from the latest revised editions; viz. +Essays on some of the Difficulties in the Writings of St. Paul.+ 12mo. Cloth extra, gilt tops. $1.50 "Dr. Whately's writings are characterized by sound thought and solid judgment. Clear and solid sense is his peculiar characteristic. He is often ingenious, generally candid, almost always plain and transparent." --_Bibliotheca Sacra._ "An excellent work." --_New York Evangelist._ "The Archbishop's writings are a part of the sterling theological letters of the age, and ought to be possessed by all the studious and thoughtful." --_Journal and Messenger._ "This book had passed through at least eight editions in England before its publication in this country. Dr. Whately is always entitled to a hearing. Never profound, he is always clear; never very original, he is always instructive; never disgustingly dogmatic, he always seems to feel a serene assurance that he has exhausted the whole subject, and that his verdict is final; always positive and didactic, he is yet never extreme, but always takes the middle and moderate view." --_Watchman and Reflector._ +Essays on some of the Pecularities of the Christian Religion, and Historic Doubts concerning Napoleon.+ 12mo. pp. 264 and 48. Bound in 1 vol. Cloth extra, gilt tops. $1.50 +Historic Doubts concerning Napoleon.+ 12mo. Paper covers, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents. About the year 1821 Whately published this Essay anonymously. It was designed as an answer to Hume's objections to the credibility of the Christian miracles. Following Hume's method, Whately gravely argued the improbability of the existence of the first Napoleon, and demonstrated that, on Hume's principles, the testimony in relation thereto could not be credited. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * _Errors and Inconsistencies_ (noted by transcriber) The brackets around footnotes 2 and 3 are in the original.
