Terence, therefore, has made use of both, as when he says, eho tu cognatum tuum non noras? and afterwards, Stilphonem, inquam, noveras? Thus also, fiet is a perfect verb, and fit a contracted one; and accordingly we find in the same Comedian, Quam cara SINTQUE post carendo intelligunt, and Quamque attinendi magni dominatus SIENT.
After exchanging many kind adieus, Rodolph and the missionary, near the close of twilight, started for the Castle of Stramen. ...Simonis leprosam Execrate hæresim, Sacerdotum simul atque Scelus adulterii, Laicorum dominatus Cedat ab ecclesiis.
And afterwards he has, "Stilphonem, inquam, noveras?" Siet is the word at full length; sit is the contracted form. One may use either; and so we find in the same passage, "Quam cara sint, quae post carendo intelligunt, Quamque attinendi magni dominatus sient." Nor should I find fault with "Scripsere alii rem."
