Outline
• acceptable:
      1. 1. acceptus (with dat.): Divitiacus was a. to the common people, Divitiacus plebi a. erat, Caes.: Romulus was by far the most a. of all to the feelings of the soldiers, Romulus longe ante alios acceptissimus militum animis fuit, Liv.: nothing is more a. to God than the meetings and assemblages of men, nihil est Deo acceptius quam concilia coetusque hominum, Cic.
      2. 2. grātus (with dat.): whose services, although they have often been more pleasant to me, were never yet more a., cujus officia jucundiora licet saepe mihi fuerint, nunquam tamen gratiora, Cic.: how many have thought it pious and most a. to the gods to sacrifice human beings! quam multi homines immolare et pium et diis gratissimum esse duxerunt! Cic.: the ivy is most a. to Bacchus, hedera est gratissima Baccho, Ov.: very a., pergrātus, Cic.: v. agreeable, pleasant; and foll. art.--Note. Acceptus stands to gratus in the same relation as an effect to a cause. He who is gratus, that is dear to me, is for that reason acceptus; I accept or receive him with pleasure. Hence we always find gratum atque acceptum: never the contrary order. Quod approbaris, id gratum acceptumque habendum, Cic. Tusc. 5, 15, 45: munus eorum gratum acceptumque esse, Nep. Hann. 7.
