Ὁπόσον τῷ ποδὶ περρέχει τᾶς γᾶς, τοῦτο χάρις → Every inch of his stature is grace

Theocritus, Idylls, 30.3

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

ob-rŏgo: āvi, ātum, 1, v. a.
I Partly to repeal an existing law by proposing a new one, to evade, weaken, invalidate, abrogate it: obrogare est legis prioris infirmandae causā legem aliam ferre, Paul. ex Fest. p. 187 Müll.: obrogatur, id est mutatur aliquid ex primā lege, Ulp. tit. 1, 3; v. abrogo: huic legi nec obrogari fas est, neque derogari ex hac aliquid licet, neque tota abrogari potest, Cic. Rep. 3, 22, 33 Mos.: quid, quod obrogatur legibus Caesaris, quae jubent? etc., id. Phil. 1, 9, 16: quia ubi duae contrariae leges sunt, semper antiquae obrogat nova, Liv. 9, 34, 9; Suet. Claud 23: cf. id Caes. 28.—
II To oppose the passage of a bill (post-class.): obrogare auso iegibus suis Minucio, Flor. 3, 15, 4; cf.: ausus obrogare de legibus consul Philippus, id. 3, 17, 8.

Att. 3, 23, 3 ; Phil. 1, 23 ; semper antiquæ (legi) obrogat nova Liv. 9, 34, 7 (quand deux lois sont en opposition) c’est toujours l’ancienne qui est abrogée par la nouvelle
