Hann. 13, 1; cf. morte, Tac. A. 14, 64; and in many epitaphs: HIC ADQVIESCIT, etc., Inscr. Orell. 2313; 4084; 4491 al.; so, quiesco, q. v.
II Fig.
   A To come to a state of repose in relation to one's wishes, desires, etc.; to repose in; to find rest, pleasure, etc., in; to rejoice in; in Cic. mostly with in, and of things: in the historians and later writers, with dat. or abl., and also of persons: quae delectet, in qua acquiescam, Cic.

Ac. 2, 46, 141; so Suet. Vit. 14; Dig. 24, 3, 22, § 6; 38, 1, 7 al.
