B. G. 3, 18: ut is sometimes omitted before subj.: Albinus p.s him to claim ..., huic Albinus p. ..., petat, Sall. Jug. 35 (the acc. and inf. in this sense is exceptional. it occurs however, Nep. Dion. 3, persuasit ei tyrannidis finem facere): I could never be p.d that the soul ... dies, mihi nunquam persuaderi potuit animos ... emori, Cic. Sen. 22, 80: Caes.: I am p.d, mihi persuadeo, mihi persuadetur: v. to convince. (N.B.--Though not capable of taking an ordinary acc. of the object, persuadeo is often used with acc. of neut. pron.: to p. any one of this, hoc alicui p., Cic. Att. 16, 5: see L.

To be persuaded, persuasum habere, with accusative and infinitive. ☞ Persuasum habeo is much less common than mihi persuasum est, or mihi persuasi. With mihi persuasi only a pronoun can stand as the objective; hoc mihi persuasi. With persuasum habere the dative of the pronoun is extremely rare, the only passage being, sibi persuasum habebant (Caes., B.G., 3, 2, end). Hence avoid mihi persuasum habeo. To persuade anybody of anything, alicui aliquid or de aliqua re probare (Cic.; alicui aliquid credibile facere is modern Latin, though credibile aliquid facere is right, Krebs): to persuade anybody that, etc., persuadere alicui aliquid, or de aliqua re: I shall not be persuaded of this, hoc quidem non adducar, ut credam; non facile adducar (not inducar) ad credendum: I am not persuaded that, etc., non adducor or adducar (with accusative and infinitive, without any verb of believing).
