I Orig. belonging to the lang. of business, to give as a loan, to loan, lend, make or loan to any one: (vilicus) injussu domini credat nemini; quod dominus crediderit, exigat, Cato, R. R. 5, 4: quibus credas male, Plaut. Curc. 4, 1, 20; cf. populis, Cic. Rab. Post. 2, 4: alicui grandem pecuniam, id. ib. 2, 4; so, pecunias ei, id. Fam. 1, 7, 6; and: pecuniae creditae, id. Prov.

II Transf. beyond the circle of business (very freq. in every period and species of composition).
   A With the prevailing idea of intended protection, to commit or consign something to one for preservation, protection, etc., to intrust to one, = committo, commendo (cf. concredo): ubi is obiit mortem, qui mihi id aurum credidit, Plaut. Aul. prol. 15 (credere est servandum commendare, Non. p. 275, 9); so, nummum, Plaut. Trin. 4, 2, 112 (for which id. ib. 4, 2, 115, concredere): alicujus fidei potestatique (with committere), Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 9, § 27; cf. id. ib. 1, 1, 4, § 14: vitam ac fortunas meas, Lucil. ap. Non. p. 275, 8; cf. Ter. And. 1, 5, 37: militi arma, Liv. 2, 45, 10: se suaque omnia alienissimis, Caes. B.

   B With the prevailing idea of bestowing confidence, to trust to or confide in a person or thing, to have confidence in, to trust.
   1    With dat.: virtuti suorum satis credere, Sall. J. 106, 3; cf. id. ib. 72, 2: praesenti fortunae, Liv. 45, 8, 6: consules magis non confidere quam non credere suis militibus, rather mistrusted their intentions than their valor, id. 2, 45, 4: nec jam amplius hastae, Verg.

Enarr. in Psa. 77, 8: qui fidem habet sine spe ac dilectione, Christum esse credit, non in Christum credit, id. Serm. 144, 2: qui credit in Filium habet vitam aeternam, Vulg. Johan. 3, 36 et saep.—
   C To trust one in his declarations, assertions, etc., i. e. to give him credence, to believe: injurato, scio, plus credet mihi, quam jurato tibi, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 284 sq.: vin' me istuc tibi, etsi incredibile'st, credere? Ter. Heaut. 4, 1, 11: credit jam tibi de isto, Plaut. Men. 4, 2, 53: cui omnium rerum ipsus semper credit, in every thing, id. As. 2, 4, 59; cf. id. Truc. 2, 2, 52: diu deliberandum et concoquendum est, utrum potius Chaereae injurato in suā lite, an Manilio et Luscio juratis in alieno judicio credatis, Cic. Rosc. Com. 15, 45.—
   b Mihi crede, beliere me, confide in my words, upon my word, ἐμοὶ πιθοῦ>, an expression of confirmation, Plaut. Ep. 3, 2, 4; Cic. Cat. 1, 3, 6; id. Mur. 19, 40; 38, 82; id. de Or. 2, 17, 72; id.

   2    With simple reference to the object mentioned or asserted, to believe a thing, hold or admit as true: velim te id quod verum est credere, Lucil. ap. Non. p. 275, 6; cf.: credo et verum est, Afer ap. Quint. 6, 3, 94: me miseram! quid jam credas? aut cur credas? Ter. Ad. 3, 2, 32: quod fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt, Caes. B.

Caes. B. G. 5, 28 et saep.—Pass.: res tam scelesta ... credi non potest, Cic. Rosc. Am. 22, 62.—Pass. impers.: in quo scelere, etiam cum multae causae convenisse unum in locum atque inter se congruere videntur, tamen non temere creditur, Cic. Rosc. Am. 22, 62.—
   b In gen. = opinor, arbitror, to be of opinion, to think, believe, suppose.
   (a)    With acc.: timeo ne aliud credam atque aliud nunties, Ter. Hec. 5, 4, 4: quae deserta et inhospita tesqua credis, Hor.
