• METHOD
ratio, via. (The words are found in this connection and order.) ratio et via (☞ very rarely; only once in Cic.): via et ratio (way and manner in which one does a thing): modus (way and manner in which anything takes place) (☞ methodus is quite unclassical). The mathematical method, mathematicorum ratio (m respect of strict proof; also with necessaria, Cic., De Fin., 5, 4, 9): the Socratic method, disserendi ratio a Socrate profecta (Cic., De N.D., 1, 5, 11): I invented this method, primus inveni hanc viam: there is method in his madness, cum ratione insanit (Terentianus). Ernesti says, nova et pulcherrima ratione litteras tradere (by a new and excellent method). Wyttenbach has recta progrediundi ratio dutbus continetur partibus (the right method of proceeding consists in two particulars).
