nōbĭlis: e (old collat. form gnōbĭlis: nobilem antiqui pro noto ponebant, et quidem per g litteram, ut Plautus in Pseudolo: peregrina facies videtur hominis atque ignobilis, et: oculis meis obviam ignobilis obicitur. Attius in Diomede: ergo me Argos referam, nam hic sum gnobilis. Livius in Virgo: ornamento incedunt gnobili ignobiles, Paul. ex Fest. p. 174 Müll.), adj. for gnobilis, from gnosco; Gr. γιγνώσκω; v. nosco,
I that can be known or is known, knowable, known.
I In gen. (very rare): neque his umquam nobilis fui, Plaut. Ps. 4, 7, 9: addidit facinori fidem nobili gaudio, Tac. H. 3, 39.—

Vell. 2, 25, 4: vitulis marinis ad multa nobile fel, Plin. 11, 37, 75, § 195: emplastra nobilia ad extrahendum fel, Cels. 5, 19: Cicero vir nobilissimae novitatis, Vell. 2, 34, 3.—In a bad sense, notorious: innocentes qui se scelere fieri nolunt nobiles, Plaut. Rud. 3, 2, 5: mea (amica) est potens, procax, magnifica, sumtuosa, nobilis, Ter. Heaut. 2, 1, 15: ille nobilis taurus, quem Phalaris habuisse dicitur, Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 33, § 73; Liv. 39, 9, 5.—
   B High-born, of noble birth, noble, i. e. sprung from a family (either patrician or plebeian) many members of which had filled curule offices, and consequently possessing the jus imaginum (opp. homo novus or ignobilis; cf.: generosus, amplus): non facit nobilem atrium plenum fumosis imaginibus, Sen. Ep. 44, 5: quanta sit in invidiā apud quosdam nobilis homines novorum hominum virtus et industria, Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 71, § 181: Clodia mulier non solum nobilis sed etiam nota, id. Cael. 13, 31: nobili genere nati, id. Verr. 2, 5, 70, § 180: homines apud nos noti, inter suos nobiles, id. Fl. 22, 52; Liv. 22, 58.—Hence, subst.: nōbĭlis, is, m., a nobleman: nobiles nostri, Plin.
