angustiae: Difference between revisions
Έγ', ὦ ταλαίπωρ', αὐτὸς ὧν χρείᾳ πάρει. Τὰ πολλὰ γάρ τοι ῥήματ' ἢ τέρψαντά τι, ἢ δυσχεράναντ', ἢ κατοικτίσαντά πως, παρέσχε φωνὴν τοῖς ἀφωνήτοις τινά –> Wretched brother, tell him what you need. A multitude of words can be pleasurable, burdensome, or they can arouse pity somehow — they give a kind of voice to the voiceless.

I Lit., narrowness, straitness; a defile, strait (perhaps only in prose; syn.: fauces, angustum).

H. ap. Serv ad Verg. A. 3, 400 (97, II. p. 250 Gerl.): loci, id. C. 58, 20: quod intercidit et incuriā coloni locique angustiā. Plin. 14, 6, 8, § 61: angustiae locorum, Nep. Dat. 8, 4, and Vulg. 2 Macc. 12, 21: angustiae saltibus crebris inclusae, Liv. 28, 1: diu in angustiis pugnatum est, id. 34, 46: itinerum, Tac. A. 15, 43 fin.: per angustias Hellesponti, Suet.

B Of other things: spiritūs, shortness of breath, Cic. de Or. 3, 46, 181: urinae, strangury, Plin. 21, 21, 92, § 160.—
II Trop.
A Of time, shortness, brevity, want, deficiency: in his vel asperitatibus rerum vel angustiis temporis, Cic. de Or. 1. 1: edidi quae potui, non ut volui, sed ut me temporis angustiae coëgerunt, id. ib. 3, 61; id. Verr. 2, 1, 56; Cic. Fil. ad Tir. Fam. 16, 21, 7: in angustiā temporum, Vulg. Dan. 9, 25.—

D Of mind or feeling, narrowness, contractedness: non capiunt angustiae pectoris tui, Cic. Pis. 11: cujus animus tantis angustiis invidiae continetur, by such meanness of envy, Auct. ad Her. 4, 43.—
E Of scientific inquiries which go too deeply into details, and lay too much stress upon little things, subtile or minute verbal criticisms: me ex campo aequitatis ad istas verborum angustias revocas, into a dilemma of verbal subtleties, Cic.
