In gen., unity, a unit; as a standard for different coins, weight, measure, etc. (in Vitr. 3, 1, p. 61 Rode, perfectus numerus, the perfect number, fundamental number), acc. to the duodecimal system, divided into 12 parts, or uncias, with the following particular designations: uncia = 1s./12 duodecima (sc. pars) sextans = 2/12 = 1s./6 sexta quadrans = 3/12 = 1s./4 quarta, also teruncius or triuncis triens = 4/12 = 1s./3 tertia or quincunx = 5s./12 sextans cum quadrante semissis s. semis = 6/12 = 1s./2 dimidia septunx = 7s./12 quadrans cum triente bessis s. bes = 8/12 = 2/3, for beis s. binae partes assis. dodrans = 9/12 = 3s./4 terni quadrantes dextans s. decunx = 10/12 = 5s./6 quini sextantes deunx = 11s./12 undecim unciaeThe uncia was again divided into smaller parts: semuncia = 1/2 uncia = 1/24 assis. duella = 1/3 uncia = 1/36 assis. sicilicus (-um) = 1/4 uncia = 1/48 assis. sextula = 1/6 uncia = 1/72 assis. drachma = 1/8 uncia = 1/96 assis. hemisecla = 1/12 uncia = 1/144 assis. scripulum = 1/24 uncia = 1/288 assis.The multiples of the as received the following designations: dupondius = 2 asses. tripondius s. tressis = 3 asses. (quadressis) = 4 asses. quinquessis = 5 asses. sexis (only in the connection decussissexis in Vitr. 1. c.) = 6 asses. septissis = 7 asses. octussis = 8 asses. nonussis (novissis?) = 9 asses. decussis = 10 asses. bicessis = 20 asses. tricessis = 30 asses, and so on to centussis = 100 asses. (Cf. Varr. L. L. 5, § 169 sq. Müll.) II. Esp. A. 1.. As a copper coin, the as was, acc. to the ancient custom of weighing money, originally a pound (asses librales or aes grave), of the value of about 8 8d./89, or 16 2/3 cents, and was uncoined (aes rude) until Servius Tullius stamped it with the figures of animals (hence pecunia, from pecus); cf. Varr. R. R. 2, 1, 9; Plin. 33, 3, 13, § 42 sqq. In the first Punic war, on account of the scarcity of money, the as was reduced to a sixth part of its original weight, i. e. two ounces; hence asses sextantarii (of the value of about 1 103d./297, or 2.8 cents), and the state gained five sixths. In the second Punic war, and the dictatorship of Fabius, the as was again reduced one half, to one ounce; hence asses unciales, about equal to 200d./297, or 1.4 cents. Finally, the Lex Papiria (A.U.C. 563, B.C. 191) reduced the as to half an ounce; hence asses semiunciales = 100d./297, or 7.9 1/3 mills, which continued as a standard even under the emperors. In all these reductions, however, the names of coins remained, independent of the weight of the as: uncia, sextans, quadrans, etc.; cf. Grotef. Gr. II. p. 253 sq.—From the small value of the as after the last reduction, the following phrases arose: quod non opus est, asse carum est, Cato ap. Sen. Ep. 94: Quod (sc. pondus auri) si comminuas, vilem redigatur ad assem, Hor. S. 1, 1, 43: viatica ad assem Perdiderat, to the last farthing, id. Ep. 2, 2, 27: ad assem impendium reddere, Plin. Ep. 1, 15: rumores Omnes unius aestimemus assis, Cat. 5, 3: Non assis facis? id. 42, 13.—Hence, 2. The proverbs, a. Assem habeas, assem valeas, your worth is estimated by your possessions, Petr. 77, 6: crumena plena assium, Gell. 20, 1.— b. Assem elephanto dare, to give something (as a petition, and the like) with trembling to a superior (a metaphor derived from trained elephants, which, after playing their parts, were accustomed to take pay for themselves, which was given them with fear by the multitude; cf. Plin. 8, 5, 5, § 14), Augustus ap. Quint. 6, 3, 59, and Macr. S. 2, 4; Varr. ap. Non. p. 531, 10 sq.— B. In inheritances and other money matters, where a division was made, the as, with its parts, was used to designate the portions. Thus haeres ex asse, sole heir; haeres ex semisse, he who receives one half of the inheritance; haeres ex dodrante, he who receives three fourths; and so, haeres ex besse, triente, quadrante, sextante, etc.; ex semiunciā, ex sextulā, ex duabus sextulis, etc., Dig. 28, 5, 50; 34, 9, 2; Suet. Caes. 83; Cic. Caecin. 6 et saep.: Nerva constituit, ut tu ex triente socius esses, ego ex besse, Dig. 17, 2, 76: bessem fundi emere ab aliquo, ib. 26, 21, 2, § 39: quadrans et semissis fundi, ib. 6, 1, 8 al.; hence, in assem, in asse, or ex asse, in all, entirely, completely, Dig. 36, 45: vendere fundum in assem, ib. 20, 6, 9; so Col. 3, 3, 8 and 9: in asse, id. 2, 12, 7: sic in asse flunt octo menses et dies decem, id. 2, 12, 7: ex asse aut ex parte possidere, Dig. 2, 8, 15; Sid. Ep. 2, 1; 6, 12; 8, 6 al.— C. As a measure of extent. a. An acre, acc. to the same divisions as above, from scripulum to the as, Col. 5, 1, 9 sq.: proscindere semissem, iterare assem, Plin. 18, 19, 49, § 178.— b. A foot, Col. 5, 3.— D. Of weight, a pound, acc. to the same division; cf. Fann. Pond. 41: In haec solide sexta face assis eat, Ov. Med. Fac. 60.→ Mathematicians (v. Vitr. l. c.) called the number 6 perfectus numerus (since 1 + 2 + 3 = 6), and formed, accordingly, the following terminology: 1 = sextans, as a dice-number . unio. 2 = triens . . . . . . . . . . binio. 3 = semissis . . . . . . . . . . ternio. 4 = bessis (διμοιρος) . . . . . quaternio. 5 = quintarius . . . . . . . quinio. 6 = perfectus numerus . . . . senio. 7 = ἔφεκτος, sex adjecto asse = 6 + 1. 8 = adtertiarius, sex adjectā tertiā = 6 + 2 (ἐπίτριτος). 9 = sesquialter, sex adjectā dimidiā = 6 + 3 (ἡμιόλιος). 10 = bes alter, sex duabus partibus additis = 6 + 4 (ἐπιδίμοιρος). 11 = adquintarius, sex quinque partibus additis = 6 + 5 (ἐπιπεντάμοιρος). 12 = duplio (διπλασίων).

Habicht, § 79): I was formerly as free as your son, tam ego fui ante liber quam gnatus tuus, Pl.: a tyrant can be as merciful as a king can be severe, tam esse clemens tyrannus quam rex importunus potest, Cic.: he lived as long as he could, vixit tam diu quam potuit, Cic.: as much as each one can, quam quisque potest, Ov.: esp. with superl.: to give thanks as great as possible, quam maximas gratias agere, Cic.: nothing frightened them so much as the vigour and complexion of the general, nihil aeque eos terruit quam robur ac color imperatoris, Liv. (in this instance quam is probably used in preference to atque, ac [v. supr. 1], because of the following ac): they do not act as they proposed, contra faciunt quam professi sunt, Cic. 4. qui (only after idem; = atque, v. supr. 1): the slaves had the same manners as their masters, servi moribus iisdem erant quibus domini, Cic.: all the Gauls must do the same thing as the Helvetii have done, omnibus Gallis idem faciendum est quod Helvetii fecerunt, Caes. 5. prō (prep. with abl.): I loved him as my own (child), hunc amavi pro meo, Ter.: to state as a fact, pro certo ponere, Caes. 6. quemadmŏdum (or as separate words, quem ad modum = in the same manner as): he was elated by the promises of my colleague, as he himself said, inflatus est collegae mei, quemadmodum dicebat ipse, promissis, Cic.: if you were to discuss friendship as you are in the habit of doing with other subjects, si, quemadmodum soles de ceteris rebus sic de amicitia disputaris, Cic. 7. ŭt (= quemadmodum, v. supr.): go on as you have begun, perge ut instituisti, Cic.: the army was drawn up as the nature of the position required, instructus est exercitus ut loci natura postulabat, Caes.: I have spoken of these things as briefly as possible, haec ut brevissime dici potuerunt, ita a me dicta sunt, Cic.: rarely and late = atque: in pleading nothing pleases him so much as brevity, ei nihil aeque in causis agendis ut brevitas placet, Plin. 8. sīcŭt (= quemadmodum, ut: only more emphatic than the last): (i) in comparisons: as I have said I will do, sicut dixi faciam, Pl.: as had formerly been done, sicut erat antea factum, Cic.: I now take no pleasure as I used formerly in writing trifling verses, nihil me sicut antea, juvat scribere versiculos, Hor. (ii) to confirm a statement = as indeed: let your affair be important, as it is indeed, sit ista res magna, sicut est, Cic.: which he saw would take place, as really happened, quod fore, sicut accidit, videbat, Caes. (iii) to introduce a simile: nature has placed the reasoning faculty in the head, as in a citadel, natura rationem in capite sicut in arce posuit, Cic. (iv) to introduce illustrations: in all which causes, as in that of M'. Curius itself, there was very great difference of opinion on points of law, quibus in causis omnibus, sicut in ipsa M'. Curii, fuit summa de jure dissensio, Cic. 9. vĕlut, vĕlŭti (used to introduce a parallel case) (i) in comparisons: as the fall of Saguntum had given confidence for the war to Hannibal, so had the destruction of the people of Abydos to Philip, velut Sagunti excidium Hannibali, sic Philippo Abydenorum clades ad bellum animos fecerat, Liv. (ii) to introduce a simile: Sipylus was giving the rein, as when the captain of a ship spreads out the sails, frena dabat Sipylus veluti quum carbasa rector deducit, Ov.: Hor.: Quint. (iii) to introduce illustrations: there is something wonderful in those aquatic animals which are born on land, as for example, crocodiles, est admiratio nonnulla in bestiis aquatilibus iis quae gignuntur in terra, veluti crocodili, Cic. (iv) in hypotheses (usu. with si): they shuddered at the cruelty of Ariovistus though absent, as if he were before them, absentis Ariovisti crudelitatem, velut si coram adesset, horrebant, Caes.: this, as if obtained by valour, he hoped would bring him great credit, hoc veluti virtute paratum, speravit magnae laudi fore, Hor. 10. īta (in asseverations and oaths, there being probably an ellipsis of ut, which, however, is sometimes expressed): as true as I live, I thought so, ita vivam, putavi, Cic.: as true as I live, I am incurring great expenses, ita vivam ut maximos sumptus facio, Cic. 11. quālis, e (usu. as correl. to talis): show yourself to us such as you formerly displayed yourself to the Roman people, qualem te jam antea populo R. praebuisti, talem et nobis imperti, Cic. 12. quantus (usu. as correl. to tantus): a contest as great as has never yet been, tanta dimicatio quanta nunquam fuit, Cic. 13. quum (usu. as correl. to tum): fortune, as it has very great influence in other affairs, so has especially in war, fortuna quum in reliquis rebus, tum praecipue in bello plurimum potest, Caes.: v. just. II. While, during, just as: q. v.: dum. III. Since, inasmuch as, seeing that: q. v.: quŏniam. Phr. : A. As if: (i) ceu (in similes): flying through the open seas, as if free from the reins, per aperta volans, ceu liber habenis, aequora, Virg.: Suet. (ii) tanquam (= just as if: sometimes with si): there was darkness there, as if (it had been) night, tenebrae ibi erant t. nox, Pl.: I was at his house, just as if in my own, apud eum sic fui, t. domi meae, Cic.: he knows every thing, as if he were admitted to the king's secrets, t. regis arcanis interesset, omnia scit, Liv.: whatever pen comes into my hands, I use it as if it were good, quicunque calamus in manus meas venerit, eo sic utor t. bono, Cic. (iii) quăsĭ (less emphatic than tanquam: equiv. to as though, as it were): I fastened as greedily upon Greek literature as if I were desirous of satisfying my long thirst, Graecas literas sic avide arripui quasi diuturnam sitim explere cupiens, Cic.: philosophy, the parent, as it were, of all praiseworthy arts, philosophia laudatarum artium omnium quasi parens, Cic. B. As being: (i) utpŏtĕ (usu. with relat. pron., but also with participles and adjectives): I am worthless enough, as being one who have to-day begun to be in love, satis nequam sum, utpote qui hodie inceperim amare, Pl.: when I was a very little boy, as being not more than nine years old, puerulo me, utpote non amplius novem annos nato, Nep.: a people that can be counted, as being small, populus numerabilis utpote parvus, Hor. (ii) quippe (usu. with a relat. pron. or adv.): nor was it a disgrace to Cimon to wed his sister, as his fellow citizens followed the same custom, neque Cimoni fuit turpe sororem habere in matrimonio, quippe cum cives ejus eodem uterentur instituto, Nep.: v.

(iii) quod (= as to what): as to what you write, that you will come to me, quod scribis te ad me venturam, Cic.: Caes.: as far as depends on me, quod ad me attinet, Cic. D. As follows: ĭtă: he negotiated with Caesar as follows, is ita cum Caesare egit, Caes. (For as far as, as soon as, as great as, etc., v. far, soon, etc.)--N.B. "As" is often not to be translated into Latin: (i) when it connects two substantives in apposition, or a subst. in apposition to the subject of the verb, or introduces a factitive accusative: e. g.: they send as ambassadors to Caesar the most illustrious men of the state, legatos ad Caesarem mittunt nobilissimos civitatis, Caes.: I have sat as juryman, I have conducted the investigation as praetor, judex sedi, praetor quaesivi, Cic.: Servilius alone as consul had authority to appoint a dictator, uni consuli Servilio jus fuit dicendi dictatoris, Liv. (ii) when it is used with such verbs as "to regard," "to consider," "to esteem:" where it is usu. an expletive even in English: e. g.: you regard him as faithful to you, eum tu habes fidelem tibi, Pl.
AS Copy link • AS(I) as a particle of comparison: ac, atque (after words denoting equality, similarity, etc.: aeque, idem, par, etc.): quam (if exact equality is not meant, but excess or defect. Thus, if a negative precedes aeque, etc., quam must be used, not ac, atque, for the negation destroys the exact equality, Herzog, Caes., B.G., 2, 6): et, ut, and (after idem) ac, atque, et, qui, seldom cum (as in Sall. and Tac.). We can not maintain friendship unless we love our friends as ourselves, amicitiam tueri non possumus, nisi aeque amicos et nosmet ipsos diligamus: in what a situation our affairs are, you know as well as I do, quo in loco res nostrae sint, juxta mecum omnes intelligitis: they go away the same men as they came, iidem abeunt, qui venerunt. After such, so great, so many (talis, tantus, tot), not quam, but qualis, quantus, quot. He is such as he ever was, talis est, qualis semper fuit In forms of protestation and swearing: “as true as,” ita or sic with the subjunctive followed by ut, with the subjunctive if a wish is to be expressed, the indicative if an assertion is to be made :”as true as I live, I shudder,” etc, ita vivam (or ita deos mihi velim propitios), ut-perhorresco; or (with ita vivam thrown in parenthetically) perhorresco, ita vivam, etc. “As true as I am alive, I should like,” etc., ita vivam (or ita mihi omnia, quae opto, contingant) ut velim, etc. As (so) well -AS: et-et; tum-tum; cum-tum (with cum-tum, the clause with cum is the more general, that with turn the more special statement). Sometimes ut-sic; uon minus-quam: [tam-quam in this sense does not belong to the Golden Age.] Not so-as, non tam-quam. The Romans waged some wars not so successfully as bravely, Romani bella quaedam non tam feliciter quam fortiter gesserunt (or Romani bella quaedam fortius quam felicius, or magis fortiter quam feliciter gesserunt). Caius is not so prudent as he ts brave. Caius fortior est quam prudentior (which allows him some prudence: magis fortis est quam prudens, or fortis est quam prudens. The form fortior est quam prudentior is that which belongs tothe best age). As-so: ut-ita or sic, quemadmodum-eodem modo: quemadmodum-sic; velut-sic or ita. As MUCH AGAIN, alterum tantum: this is as big again as that, hoc altero tanto majus est. AS MANY AS (= all who), quoteumque: AS MUCH AS, quantumcumque. As SOON AS: simul et or ac (atque): simul ut: also simul alone: ut: ut primum: cum primum: ubi (when): postquam (after). All these take the perfect indicative in narrative where we should use the pluperfect; but when repeated actions or continued states are described, the principal verb being in the imperfect, the verb with postquam, etc., may be in the pluperfect: [simulac se remiserat-reperiebatur, Nep.] As (= as if), AS IF: tamquam. I depart from life as from an inn, ex vita discedo, tamquam ex hospitio. (II) As a particle of explanation. As if; just as if: tamquam; tamquam si; veluti; haud secus ac si; non aliter quam si (all with subjunctive): the men flocked together as if something of great importance were in hand, tamquam summi momenti res ageretur, ita concurrerunt homines. Sometimes an ablative absolute is used: the enemy pursued as if the victory were already won, hostes insecuti, quasi parta jam victoria. As if, FORSOOTH; AS IF (ironically): as if, forsooth, I thought this, quasi vero id putem. To denote a property: tamquam (expressing equality in point of manner anddegree: “as much as;” “as if”): ut (the relation, “as far as”): loco (in the place of): instar (as good as, of equal value or weight with): nomine (under the name of). I love you as a friend, amo te ut amicum (so far as you are my friend): tamquam amicum (as much as a friend; as much as if you were my friend): to be as a son to anybody, filii loco esse alicui: to be to anybody as a father, alicui parentis numero esse. Sometimes other forms must be used; e.g., we must do as physicians do, medicorum ratio, or consuetudo imitanda est. To carry anything off as so much gain, lucri nomine tollere aliquid. Plato is, in my judgment, as good as all of them together, Plato est mihi instar omnium. As with a substantive is here often translated by an adverb or by in modum. To behave as a woman, muliebriter se gerere: to act as a slave, serviliter agere: to obey as slaves, in modum servorum parere: to torture a free citizen as a slave, civem servilem in modum cruciare. AS; AS BEING. Here the property contains also the ground of the preceding statement, and quippe, quippe qui, utpote qui are used. Quippe is often used with something of irony, and before participles or otherattributives only [Democrito, quippe viro erndito, etc.] : quippe or utpote qui mostly takes subjunctive. [Pract. Intr., ii, 814.] They did not trust their own valor, as being men who had been often routed, non-sua virtute confisi sunt, quippe toties fusi fugatique. As is often untranslated; e.g., with such verbs as to consider or look upon: as, this must be looked upon as the greatest evil, hoc maximum malum existimandum est: he is looked upon as a very just man, justissimus vir habetur. As is also untranslated when = in the character of, or when I was. He dedicated, as dictator, the Temple of Salus, which he had vowed when consul, aedem Salutis, quam consul voverat, dictator dedicavit. As, for instance: ut: velut; veluti Animals which are bom on land; as, for instance, crocodiles, bestiae quae gignuntur in terra, veluti crocodili: even the gods waged wars; as, for instance, with the giants, dii qaoque bella gesserunt, ut cum sigantibus. Somaimes vel is used in this sense: raras tuas quidem sed suaves accipio litteras: vel (as, for instance) quas proxime accepi, quam prudentes, etc. [Pract. Intr., ii, 542.] (III) As a panicle of time. As = when: cum: ut: ubi. [Ubi marks a point in time from which something began: at, an event which was succeeded by another: cum, the coincidence of two facts, so that either both happen at the same point of time, or a momentaneous action introducedby “as” either happens while another is still going on, or is immediately consequent to it. Vid: Excurs., ii., to Grotefend’s Materials.] Ut and ubi take the indicative (when no other reason requires the subjunctive), mostly the perfect: cum also takes indicative of present and perfect (and also with the imperfect and pluperfect of repeated actions= as often as); but in simple narrative has the subjunctive of imperfect and pluperfect. Very often the verb with “as” is translated by a participle, which will be in ablative absolute when the two propositions have not the same subject. AS OFTEN AS: quoties: cum with indicative, even of imperfect and pluparfect. [cum quaepiam cohors ex orbe excesserat, hostes velocissime refugiebant, Caes..] As long as: tam diu -quam or quam diu: usque adeo- quoad: as relat. quamdiu (e.g., tenuit se uno loco quamdiu fuit hiems): quoad (all the time until; as long as). As = while, dum, or by participle of present. As soon as. Vid: As (1). (IV) As a causal particle = since; inasmuch as: quoniam (indicative): cum (subjunctive): quando; quaudoquidem (indicative). Vid: SINCE. (V) AS TO; AS CONCERNING; AS TOUCHING, etc.: quod attinet ad: quod: sometimes de: ad. As to the book, which your son gave you, quod ad librum attinet, quem tibi filius dabat. As to retaining our liberty, I agree with you, de liliertate retinenda tibi assentior. As to (or, as far) Pomponia, I would have you write, if you think good, quod ad Pomipeniam, si tibi videtur, scribas velim. As to my Tullia, I agree with you, de Tullia mea tibi assentior.
