#sī sunt dī, beneficī in hominēs sunt#, _Div._ 2, 104, _if there are

gods, they are kind to men_. #sī nescīs, tibī̆ īgnōscō#, _Fam._ 10, 26,

3, _if you do not know, I pardon you_. #deus sum, sī hoc itast#, T.

_Hec._ 843, _I am a god, if this is so_. #erus sī tuos domīst, quīn

prōvocās?# Pl. _Ps._ 638, _in case your master is at home, why don’t you

call him out?_ #hōc mortuō, aut sī quī ex reliquīs excellit dignitāte,

succēdit, aut, sī sunt plūrēs parēs, dē prīncipātū contendunt#, 6, 13,

9, _when this man dies, if there is any one of the rest superior in

position, he always takes his place; or if there are several with equal

claims, they have a contest about the supremacy_. #sī vīs, potes#, H.

_S._ 2, 6, 39, _you can, if you will_. #in corpore sī quid eius modī est

quod reliquō corporī noceat, id ūrī secārīque patimur#, _Ph._ 8, 15, _in

the human body if there is anything likely to damage the rest of the

body, we always allow it to be cauterized and cut_. #sī cui vēnae sīc

moventur, is habet febrim#, _Fat._ 15, _if a man’s pulse beats thus and

so, he always has fever_. The present is sometimes loosely used of

future time (1593): as, #sī illum relinquō, e͡i͡us vītae timeō#, T.

_Andr._ 210, _if I desert him, I tremble for his life_. #assequor omnia,

sī properō; sī cunctor, āmittō#, _Att._ 10, 8, 5, _I shall compass all

my ends, if I hurry; if I delay, I shall lose everything_. #castra nunc

vōbīs hostium praedae dō, sī mihī̆ pollicēminī vōs fortiter operam

nāvātūrōs#, L. 7, 16, 4, _I give you the camp of the enemy as booty now,

if you promise me you will quit you like men_.
