credulus, or circumlocution qui facile ad credendum impellitur; qui temere incognita pro cognitis habet, hisque temere assentitur (after Cic., Off., 1, 6, 18): to be credulous, credulum esse; facile ad credendum impelli or induci (Vid: Cic., De Rep., 2, 10, 18; Nep., Con., 3, 1, in which passage, however, modern editors substitute adduci): to show one’s self credulous in anything, credulum se praebere in aliqua re: levem auditionem pro re comperta habere (in believing rumors, etc.).
