SOLLICITAM HABERE: 'to keep in trouble'. Sollicitus is, literally, 'wholly in motion', from sollus, which has the same root with ‛ολος, and citus; cf. the rare words sollifides, solliferreus. The perfect participle with habeo emphasizes the continuance of the effect produced. Zumpt, 634; A. 292, c; G. 230; H. 388, 1, n. NOSTRAM AETATEM: cf. n. on 26 senectus. ESSE LONGE: more usually abesse.
