Hec. 3, 5, 10: nunc hoc profecto sic est, Plaut. Merc. 2, 1, 42: sic est. Non muto sententiam, Sen. Ep. 10; cf. Plaut. Mil. 2, 3, 35; id. Am. 2, 1, 60; id. Aul. 2, 4, 43; id. As. 5, 2, 12; id.

II Referring to a subsequent sentence, thus, as follows, in the following manner (= hoc modo, hoc pacto, hujusmodi, ad hunc modum): ingressus est sic loqui Scipio: Catonis hoc senis est, etc., Cic. Rep. 2, 1, 1 (cf.: tum Varro ita exorsus est, id. Ac. 1, 4, 15): hunc inter pugnas Servilius sic compellat, etc., Enn. ap.

Or. 1, 45, 198; 2, 40, 167; 2, 40, 172; id. Att. 2, 22, 1; 5, 1, 3; 6, 1, 3; Verg. A. 1, 521.—
2 Esp., with ellipsis of predicate: ego sic: diem statuo, etc. (sc. ago), Cic. Att. 6, 1, 16.—Sometimes sic introduces detached words: sic loqui nosse, judicasse vetant, novisse jubent et judicavisse (=they forbid to say nosse, etc.), Cic. Or. 47, 157.—
3 For instance (= hoc modo, hoc pacto, ut hoc, verbi gratiā, ut si; cf. Cic. Inv. 1, 49, 91 sq. infra): disjunctum est, cum unumquodque certo concluditur verbo, Auct. Her. 4, 27, 37: mala definitio est ... cum aliquid non grave dicit, sic: Stultitia est immensa gloriae cupiditas, Cic. Inv. 1, 49, 91.
III As a local demonstrative, thus, so, etc. (δεικτικῶς; colloq.; mostly comice): ne hunc ornatum vos meum admiremini, quod ego processi sic cum servili schemā, as you see me now, Plaut.

As correlative, with, 1. A comparative clause (sic far more frequent than ita); 2. A contrasted clause, mostly with ut; 3. A modal clause, with ut (ita more freq. than sic); 4. A clause expressing intensity, introduced by ut; 5. A conditional clause (rare; ita more freq.); 6. With a reason, introduced by quia (ante-class. and very rare); 7. With an inf. clause; 8. With ut, expressing purpose or result.
1 With comp. clauses, usu. introduced by ut, but also by quemadmodum (very freq.), sicut, velut, tamquam, quasi, quomodo, quam (rare and poet.), ceu (rare; poet. and post-class.), quantus (rare and poet.), qualis (ante-class. and rare).
(a) With ut: ut cibi satietas subamara aliquā re relevatur, sic animus defessus audiendi admiratione redintegratur, Cic. Inv. 1, 17, 25: ut non omnem frugem, neque arborem in omni agro reperire possis, sic non omne facinus in omni vitā nascitur, id. Rosc.

Pers. 4, 1, 3: ut quaeque res est tur pissima, sic maxime et maturissime vindicanda est, Cic. Caecin. 2, 7; v. Fischer, Gr. II. p. 751.—
(b) With quemadmodum: quemadmodum tibicen sine tibiis canere, sic orator, nisi multitudine audiente, eloquens esse non potest, Cic. Or. 2, 83, 338: quemadmodum se tribuni gessissent in prohibendo dilectu, sic patres in lege prohibenda gerebant, Liv. 3, 11, 3: sic vestras hallucinationes fero, quemadmodum Juppiter ineptias poëtarum, Sen.

(d) With velut: velut ipse in re trepidā se sit tutatus, sic consulem loca tutiora castris cepisse, Liv. 4, 41, 6; cf. Cic. Tusc. 1, 10, 20; Verg. A. 1, 148; Ov. M. 4, 375; 4, 705.—(ε) With tamquam: tamquam litteris in cerā, sic se ajebat imaginibus quae meminisse vellet, perscribere, Cic. Or. 2, 88, 360: quid autem ego sic adhuc egi, tamquam integra sit causa patriciorum? Liv. 10, 8: sic Ephesi fui, tamquam domi meae, Cic. Fam. 13, 69, 1; cf. id. Or. 2, 42, 180; id. Brut. 18, 71; 58, 213; 66, 235; 74, 258; id. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 16; 2, 14, 1; id. Prov. Cons. 12, 31; Sen.

Beat. 20, 3.—(η) With quomodo: quomodo nomen in militiam non daret debilis, sic ad iter quod inhabile sciat, non accedet, Sen. Ot. Sap. 3 (30), 4: sic demus quomodo vellemus accipere, id. Ben. 2, 1, 1; id. Ep. 9, 17; id. Ot. Sap. 6, 2 (32 med.); Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 4, 4.—(θ) With ceu: ceu cetera nusquam Bella forent ... sic Martem indomitum Cernimus, Verg.

Am. 1, 3, 40.—(μ) Without a correlative particle, in an independent sentence: Quis potione uti aut cibo dulci diutius potest? sic omnibus in rebus voluptatibus maximis fastidium finitimum est (= ut nemo cibo dulci uti diutius potest, sic, etc.), Cic. Or. 3, 25, 100; cf. id. ib. 19, 63.—
2 In contrasted clauses, mostly with ut, which may generally be rendered while: ut ad bella suscipienda Gallorum acer ac promptus est animus, sic mollis ad calamitates perferendas mens eorum est (almost = etsi ad bella suscipienda ... tamen mollis est, etc., while, etc.), Caes. B. G. 3, 19: a ceteris oblectationibus ut deseror, sic litteris sustentor et recreor, while I am deserted, I am sustained, etc., Cic. Att. 4, 10, 1; cf. id. Rosc. Am. 18, 55; id. Fam. 10, 20, 2; Liv. 4, 57, 11; Ov. M. 4, 131; 11, 76.—So freq. two members of the same sentence are coordinated by ut... sic (ita) with almost the same force as a co-ordination by cum ... tum, or by sed: consul, ut fortasse vere, sic parum utiliter in praesens certamen respondit (= vere fortasse, sed parum utiliter), Liv. 4, 6, 2: ut nondum satis claram victoriam, sic prosperae spei pugnam imber diremit, id. 6, 32, 6: (forma erat) ut non cygnorum, sic albis proxima cygnis, Ov. M. 14, 509; cf. Liv. 1, 27, 2; 5, 38, 2; 6, 6, 10; Ov. M. 1, 370.—In this use etiam or quoque is sometimes joined with sic (never by Cic. with ita): nostri sensus, ut in pace semper, sic tum etiam in bello congruebant (= cum ... tum), Cic. Marcell. 6, 16: ut sunt, sic etiam nominantur senes, id. Sen. 6, 20: utinam ut culpam, sic etiam suspitionem vitare potuisses, id. Phil. 1, 13, 33: ut superiorum aetatum studia occidunt, sic occidunt etiam senectutis, id. Sen. 20, 76: ut voce, sic etiam oratione, id. Or. 25, 85; id. Top. 15, 59; id. Leg. 2, 25, 62; id. Lael. 5, 19.—More rarely with quem ad modum, quomodo: ut, quem ad modum est, sic etiam appelletur tyrannus, Cic. Att. 10, 4, 2: quo modo ad bene vivendum, sic etiam ad beate, id. Tusc. 3, 17, 37. —
3 With a clause of manner introduced by ut = so that: sic fuimus semper comparati ut hominum sermonibus quasi in aliquod judicium vocaremur, Cic. Or. 3, 9, 32: eam sic audio ut Plautum mihi aut Naevium videar audire, id. ib. 3, 12, 45: sic agam vobiscum ut aliquid de vestris vitiis audiatis, id. ib. 3, 12, 46: omnia sic suppetunt ut ei nullam deesse virtutem oratoris putem, id. Brut. 71, 250: omnis pars orationis esse debet laudabilis, sic ut verbum nullum excidat, id. Or. 36, 125: sic tecum agam ut vel respondendi vel interpellandi potestatem faciam, id. Rosc. Am. 27, 73: nec vero sic erat umquam non paratus Milo contra illum ut non satis fere esset paratus, id. Mil. 21, 56: sic eum eo de re publicā disputavit ut sentiret sibi cum viro forti esse pugnandum, id. Fam. 5, 2, 8; cf. Plaut. As. 2, 4, 49; id. Mil. 2, 2, 82; Cic. de Or. 1, 57, 245; 2, 1, 3; 2, 6, 23; id. Brut. 22, 88; 40, 148; id. Sest. 40, 87; id. Planc. 10, 25; id. Fam. 5, 15, 4; Caes. B. G. 2, 32; 5, 17; id. B. C. 3, 56; Prop. 1, 21, 5.—Sometimes the correlative clause is restrictive, and sic = but so, yet so, only so: mihi sic placuit ut cetera Antisthenis, hominis acuti magis quam eruditi, Cic. Att. 12, 38, 4: sic conveniet reprehendi, ut demonstretur etc., id. Inv. 1, 46, 86; id. Brut. 79, 274; id. Marcell. 11, 34; id. Att. 13, 3, 1 (ita is more freq. in this sense).—
4 With a clause expressing intensity (so both with adjj. and verbs; but far less freq. than ita, tam, adeo), to such a degree, so, so far, etc.: sic ego illum in timorem dabo, ipse sese ut neget esse eum qui siet, Plaut. Ps. 4, 1, 20 sq.: conficior lacrimis sic ut ferre non possim, Cic. Fam. 14, 4, 1: sic rem fuisse apertam ut judicium fieri nihil attinuerit, id.

6 Sic quia = idcirco quia (very rare): Th. Quid vos? Insanin' estis? Tr. Quīdum? Th. Sic quia foris ambulatis, Plaut. Most. 2, 2, 20.—

Verr. 1, 7, 20; Liv. 5, 15, 11.—Esp., after sic habeto (habe, habeas) = scito (only Ciceron.): sic habeto, in eum statum tuum reditum incidere ut, etc., Cic. Fam. 2, 3, 1; so id. ib. 1, 7, 3; 2, 6, 5; 2, 10, 1; 7, 18, 1; 9, 16, 2; id. Att. 2, 25, 1; 5, 1, 5; 5, 20, 1 et saep.—
8 With ut, expressing purpose or result: nunc sic faciam, sic consilium est, ad erum ut veniam docte atque astu, Plaut.

G. 5, 23; cf. Cato, R. R. 1, 1; Cic. Att. 8, 1, 4; id. Or. 2, 67, 271.
Idiomatic usages of sic.
1 In a wish, expressed as a conclusion after an imperative (poet.): parce: sic bene sub tenerā parva quiescat humo (= si parces, bene quiescat), Tib. 2, 6, 30: annue: sic tibi sint intonsi, Phoebe, capilli, id. 2, 5, 121: pone, precor, fastus ... Sic tibi nec vernum nascentia frigus adurat Poma, nec excutiant rapidi florentia venti, Ov. M. 14, 762: dic mihi de nostrā quae sentis vera puellā: Sic tibi sint dominae, Lygdame, dempta juga, Prop. 4, 5, 1; Tib. 2, 6, 30.—The imperative may follow the clause with sic: sic tua Cyrneas fugiant examina taxos ... Incipe (sc. cantare) si quid habes (= si incipies cantare, opto tibi ut tua examina, etc.), Verg. E. 9, 30: sic tibi (Arethusa) Doris amara suam non intermisceat undam: Incipe (= si incipies, opto tibi ut Doris, etc.), id. ib. 10, 4: sic mare compositum, sic sit tibi piscis in undā Credulus ... Dic ubi sit, Ov. M. 8, 857; Sen. Troad. 702; cf.: sic te Diva potens Cypri ... Ventorumque regat pater, Navis ... Reddas incolumem Vergilium (= si tu, navis, reddes Vergilium, prosperum precor tibi cursum), Hor. C. 1, 3, 1; cf. also: sic venias hodierne: tibi dem turis honores (=si venies, tibi dem), Tib. 1, 7, 53; cf. Ov. H. 3, 135; 4, 148.—
2 Sic (like ita) with ut in strong asseveration (poet.): sic me di amabunt, ut me tuarum miseritum'st fortunarum (= by the love of the gods, I pity, etc.), Ter. Heaut. 3, 1, 54: Diespiter me sic amabit ut ego hanc familiam interire cupio, Plaut. Poen. 4, 2, 47: sic has deus aequoris artes Adjuvet, ut nemo jamdudum littore in isto constitit, Ov. M. 8, 866: sic mihi te referas levis, ut non altera nostro limine intulit ulla pedes, Prop. 1, 18, 11; cf. id. 3, 15 (4, 14), 1; cf.: vera cano, sic usque sacras innoxia laurus vescar, Tib. 2, 5, 63.—
3 In a demonstrative temporal force, like the Gr. οὕτως, so, as the matter stands now, as it now is, as it then was, etc.
(a) In gen.: e Graecis cavendae sunt quaedam familiaritates, praeter hominum perpaucorum, si qui sunt vetere Graeciā digni. Sic vero fallaces sunt permulti et leves, but as things now stand, Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 5, § 16: at sic citius quī te expedias his aerumnis reperias, Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 8: Pe. Pol tibi istuc credo nomen actutum fore. Tr. Dum interea sic sit, istuc actutum sino, provided it be as it is, Plaut. Most. 1, 1, 71: quotiens hoc tibi ego interdixi, meam ne sic volgo pollicitarere operam, thus, as you are doing now, id. Mil. 4, 2, 65: si utrumvis tibi visus essem, Non sic ludibrio tuis factis habitus essem, Ter. Hec. 4, 1, 11: non sic nudos in flumen deicere (voluerunt), naked, as they are, Cic. Rosc. Am. 26, 71: sub altā platano ... jacentes sic temere, Hor. C. 2, 11, 14.—Esp., with sine and abl.: me germanam meam sororem tibi sic sine dote dedisse, so as she is, without a dowry, Plaut. Trin. 3, 2, 65: sic sine malo, id. Rud. 3, 5, 2: at operam perire meam sic ... perpeti nequeo, without result, id. Trin. 3, 2, 34 Ritschl, Fleck. (Brix omits sic): nec sic de nihilo fulminis ira cadit (= without cause), Prop. 2, 16 (3, 8), 52: mirabar hoc si sic abiret, so, i. e. without trouble, Ter.

As. 2, 4, 54: sine fores sic, abi, let the door alone, id. Men. 2, 3, 1; so id. Cas. 3, 6, 36; id. Ps. 1, 5, 62.—
(g) Pregn., implying a concession (= καὶ οὕτως), even as it is now, even without doing so, in spite of it: nolo bis iterare, sat sic longae fiunt fabulae, narratives are long enough anyhow, as they are, without saying them twice over, Plaut. Ps. 1, 3, 154: sed sic quoque erat tamen Acis, even as it was, in spite of what has been said, Ov. M. 13, 896; so, sic quoque fallebat, id. ib. 1, 698: sed sic me et libertatis fructu privas et diligentiae, anyhow, not taking into account what is mentioned, Cic. Fam. 5, 20, 4: exhibeas molestiam si quid debeam, qui nunc sic tam es molestus, who art so troublesome even as it is, i. e. without my owing you any thing, Plaut. Pers. 2, 44: sic quoque parte plebis affectā, fides tamen publica potior senatui fuit, Liv. 7, 27; cf. Ov. F. 2, 642; Suet. Aug. 78.—
4 Ellipt., referring to something in the mind of the speaker: Quod si hoc nunc sic incipiam? Nihil est. Quod si sic? Tantumdem egero. At sic opinor? Non potest, Ter. Heaut. 4, 2, 8: illa quae aliis sic, aliis secus videntur, to some in one way, to others in another (= aliis aliter), Cic. Leg. 1, 17, 47: Quid vini absumpsit! Sic hoc dicens, asperum hoc est, aliud lenius, = this wine is so (the speaker not saying what he thinks of it), Ter. Heaut. 3, 1, 49: deinde quod illa (quae ego dixi) sive faceta sunt, sive sic, fiunt narrante te venustissima, or so, i. e. or otherwise, Cic. Fam. 15, 21, 2: monitorem non desiderabit qui dicat, Sic incede, sic cena ... sic amico utere, sic cive, sic socio, Sen. Ep. 114.—
5 In answers, yes = the French, Italian, and Spanish si (ante - class. and rare): Ph. Phaniam relictam ais? Ge. Sic, Ter. Phorm. 2, 2, 2: De. Illa maneat? Ch. Sic, id. ib. 5, 3, 30: Ch. Sicine est sententia? Me. Sic, id. Heaut. 1, 1, 114.
