(B) Interest on money, PROPR., usura, or plur. usurae (what is paid for the use of a borrowed sum; hence “interest,” with reference to the borrower who pays): fenus (the profit on a sum lent; hence “interest,” with reference to the lender who receives or is to receive it): impendium (= usura quod in sorte accedit; Varr., L.L., 5, 36, 50, § 183: all three, also, figuratively). Interest upon interest, anatocismus (ἀνατοκισμόσ, Cic., Att., 5, 21, 11 and 12): usurae usurarum (Cod. Just., 4, 32, 28): 5 per cent, (monthly interest), centesimae quinae: one-half per cent, (monthly) interest = 6 per cent, (annually), semisses usurae: 12 per cent., centesimae usurae (= 1 per cent, per month): 12 per cent, compound interest, centesimae renovato in singulos annos fenore (Cic., Att., 6, 3, 5); or centesimae renovatae quotannis; or centesimae actae cum renovatione singulorum annorum (Att., 6, 1, 5): 12 per cent, at simple interest, centesimae perpetuo fenore or centesimae perpetuae. ☞ The Roman interest being monthly, must be multiplied by 12 to turn it into our method of calculating interest; the asses usurae or centesimae usurae being 1 per cent, monthly = 12 per cent, per annum; lower rates will be expressed by the divisions of the as; thus, 11 percent., deunces usurae; 10, dextantes usurae; 9, dodrantes usurae; 8, besses usurae; 7, septantes usurae; 6, semisses usurae; 5, quincunces usurae; 4, quadrantes usurae; 3, trientes usurae: 2, sextantes usurae; 1, unciae usmae; and ☞ for these other forms occur; e.g., fenus ex... (e.g., fenus ex triente, 4 per cent.); or fenus with adjective (fenus unciarium, 1 per cent.); or the sing. or plur. of these substantives, factum erat bessibus (8 per cent.); ut nummi, quos hic quincunce modesto (5 per cent.) nutrieras, pergant avidos sudare deunces (11 percent., Persius). Georges recommends the retention of the Roman forms, adding in singulos annos, to show that ifis not due every month, but every year: it is better, however, to reduce the yearly to the monthly value, as above.
