VALUE Copy link • VALUE 1. s. PROP., pretium (with reference to an equivalent, especially in money. ☞ There is no authority for valor in this sense): aestimatio (in the opinion of men). The value of money, potestas pecuniarum (Gai. Dig. 13, 3, 4): to be of some value, pretium habere; in pretio esse; to be of great value, maximo esse pretio: to be of small value, pretii esse parvi, minimi: to be of no value, nullius esse pretii: of equal value, (res) ejusdem pretii (not valoris). Figuratively, pretium (Cic.): dignitas (Plin., Gell.): virtus (Cic.). To attach great value to anything, multum tribuere alicui rei: magni aestimare aliquid; in magno honore habere aliquid: to set too high a value on one’s self, multum sibi tribuere magnifice de se sentire; nimium sibi tribuere. 2. v. To rate at a certain price, aestimare aliquid (with a genitive or ablative of the price, Cic.): aestimationem alicujus rei facere (Caes.) or habere (Cic.); pretium alicui rei statuere (Plaut.) or constituere (Cic.). To value highly, magni (not multi) or magno aestimare; magni facere, habere, ducere, pendere: to value lightly, parvi facere, aestimare, ducere, habere, pendere: to value as nothing, pro nihilo ducere, putare; nihili or non flocci facere; despicere et pro nihilo putare; contemnereet pro nihilo ducere; aestimare nihilo, pro nihilo, or nihil: to value more highly, pluris (not majoris) aestimare: to value less, minoris aestimare or pendere: to value equally, juxta aestimare (Sall., Cat., 2, 8); in pari laude utrumque ponere: to value one more than another, unum alteri praeponere, anteponere, and (vice versa) postponere, posthabere. To esteem highly, diligere (aliquid in aliquo): diligere carumque habere. ☞ not aestimare alone in this sense; it must always have a genitive or ablative of the value; Vid :, also, “to VALUE highly,” above.
