Outline
• proposition:
    1. I. Proposal: condĭtio: v. proposal.
    2. II. A measure proposed in a legislative or other body:
      1. 1. sententia (in the senate): to vote for anybody's p., pedibus in sententiam alicujus ire, Sall. Cat. 50: a decree of the Senate was passed, adopting my p., factum est S. C. in meam s., Cic. Att. 4, 1, med. (Relatio is strictly the laying of a matter before the Senate; also, esp. in later writers, by meton. = sententia: cf. Tac. 14, 49, non ideo consules mutavere relationem: also, Liv. 32, 22, med.; and Cic. in Pis. 13, init.)
      2. 2. rŏgātio (a proposal to the people to pass a law; hence, the measure so proposed; a bill): Cic. Clu. 51, 140, et pass.: Caes.: Liv.
      3. 3. expr. by fĕro, 3, irr. (to make a p. to the people): foll. by, ad populum, Cic. Ph. 2, 43, 110: or absol., he made no p. about the trial, nihil de judicio ferebat, id. Sull. 22, 63. So with reference to the Senate, rĕfĕro (cf. supr.), to lay a matter before the Senate, whether a distinct motion be propounded or not: Sall.: Cic.
    3. III. Suggestion or recommendation: consĭlium: v. plan, counsel.
    4. IV. In logic:
      1. 1. prōnuntiātum (Gr. ἀξίωμα): Cic. Tusc. 1, 7, 14: Gell. In same sense, enuntiatum: Cic. Fat. 9, 19.
      2. 2. prōpŏsĭtio: Quint. 7, 1, 9, sqq.: M. L. (In Cic. Inv. 1, 37, 67, propositio is the main proposition or major premiss of a syllogism.)
      3. 3. thĕsis, is, f. (Gr. θέσις p. advanced for discussion): Quint. 3, 5, 11. (Instead of theses, we find Gr. θέματα, ib. 7, 1, 4; for which it is stated Cic. used proposita, l. c.) Phr.: to lay down a p. for discussion, ponere quid, Cic. Tusc. 1, 4, 7.
    5. V. In mathematics, etc.: prōpŏsĭtio: M. L. pass.
