libellus (post-Augustan; ☞ not accusatorius libellus): nominis delatio. To prefer an indictment against anybody, *delationem nominis a judicibus selectis postulare in aliquem: libellum de aliquo dare (Plin., Ep., 7, 27, 11): to frame or draw up an indictment, libellum formare (Paullus, Dig., 48, 2, 3) or componere et formare († Juv.). To find an indictment (i. e., to find it a true bill), alicui delationem dare (the dative being the name of the prosecutor, whom the jury, by their finding, allow to prosecute, Cic., Div. in Coecil., 15, 49).
