• CORROBORATE

confirmare aliquid (strengthen a statement; e.g., testimonio, argumentis): fidem alicui rei addere or afferre. [☞ but adjungere fidem alicui rei, is to attach credit to it; to believe it.] : fidem alicujus or alicujus rei confirmare: fidem facere alicui rei (to cause it to be believed). Every witness has corroborated the statement about this money of Dion’s, (quorum) omnium testimoniis de hac Dionis pecunia confirmatum est (Cic.). [ ☞ Not corroborare, which is “to make strong,” “strengthen,” “confirm.”]
