praescio
ἄλογον δὴ τὸ μήτε μάχης ἄρξασθαι μήτε τοὺς φίλους φυλάξαι, ἐὰν ὑπό γε τῶν βαρβάρων ἀδικῆσθε → It is irrational neither to begin battle nor to guard the friends, if you are ever wronged by the foreigners
Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
prae-scĭo: īvi, ītum, 4, v. a.,
I to know beforehand, to foreknow (poet. and in postAug. prose): nonne oportuit praescisse me ante? Ter. And. 1, 5, 4: eum haec praescisse, Suet. Tib. 67.—
