At anyone’s request, aliquo rogante, petente: to listen to a request, preces alicujus audire (not exaudire) or admittere; alicui patenti satisfacere, annuere; quod petit aliquis, dare: to refuse a request, preces alicujus spernere (Ov.), aversari (Liv.), repudiare (Cic.); alicui petenti deesse. What is your request? quid petis? If you grant my request, *si feceris, quod rogo: to make a request; Vid: the verb.

  • v. Intransitively, rogare: petere (general term for asking, whether as a request or a demand; in the middle, therefore, between poscere and orare, but somewhat nearer to a request: petere mostly refers to the object, rogare to the person: hence petere aliquid ab aliquo: rogare aliquem aliquid).
  • Transitively, rogare, orare aliquem aliquid: flagitare: efflagitare aliquid ab aliquo (with eagerness and impetuosity). To request the gods, precari a diis: precatione uti: precationem ad deos facere: to request humbly anything from anybody, supplicare alicui pro re: petere, postulare suppliciter aliquid ab aliquo: orare aliquem supplicibus verbis: orare or rogare aliquem suppliciter: to request importunately and almost with tears, omnibus precibus, paene lacrimis etiam obsecrare aliquem: to request in the most earnest manner, aliquem ita rogare, ut majore studio rogare non possim: to request the life of a malefactor, petere vitam nocenti: let me request of you, oratus sis: plur., rogati sitis or estote: let me request and beseech you, quaeso: oro: obsecro: to request the favor of anybody’s company, aliquem invitare, vocare: to request anybody’s company to dinner, aliquem ad cenam vocare or invitare: to request anybody’s company at one’s house, aliquem domum suam invitare (condicere alicui, with or without cenam, or ad cenam, is to invite one’s self; to fix to dine with anybody).
