    2. II. Tech. term in logic, not according to the rules: *haud lēgĭtĭmus, vĭtiōsus an il. process, *ratio haud legitima, modus disserendi s. ratiocinandi haud ad legem dialecticam accommodatus (cf. Sen. Ep. 82, 19): your conclusion is il., *vitiose istud concluditur.
    3. III. Not born in lawful wedlock: non lēgĭtĭmus: Quint. 3, 6, 103: for which the Gk. term nŏthus ([Greek: nothos]) was also used: cf. Quint. l. c. § 97, nothum, qui non sit legitimus, Graeci vocant: Latinam rei nomen non habemus, ideoque utimur peregrino. (Spurius denotes the offspring of a free-woman by an unacknowledged father: Dig. 1, 5, 23.)
