      1. 1. tento (tempto), 1: he f.s the bosom (of the statue) with his hands, manibus pectora t., Ov. Met. 10, 282: Phaedr. Esp. to f. the pulse, venas t., Quint. 11, 3, 88: Suet.
      2. 2. praetento, 1 (to f. out before one): to f. one's way with the feet, pedibus p. iter, Tib. 2, 1, 77: Ov.
      3. 3. contrecto, 1: v. to handle.
      4. 4. tango, 3: v. to touch. Phr.: to f. the pulse, venas tenere, Cic. (more usu. tentare, v. supr.).

(N.B.--In Lat. the constr. is often reversed, the emotion being made the subject, and the person the object: e. g. the senate felt alarm, senatum metus cepit, Liv. 23, 14, med.: so we find both satietatem capere, Pl.
