accipimus

Updated: May 5, 2025

CENSOR ... ANTE CONSULATUM: this was unusual, and therefore to Claudius' honor. GRANDEM SANE: 'undoubtedly old'. ET TAMEN SIC: i.e. eum tum grandem fuisse Lahmeyer wrongly says that sic points to the words atque haec ille egit. It may be noted that sic takes the place of an object after accipimus, cf. 77 ita crederem; 78 sic mihi persuasi, also 18 male cogitanti.
