#vir tuos sī veniet, iube domī opperīrier#, Pl. _Cist._ 592, _in case
your husband comes, tell him to wait at home_. Almost always the second
imperative is used (1577): as, #sī volet, suō vīvitō#, Twelve Tables in
Gell. 20, 1, 45, _if the prisoner wish, he may subsist on his own food_.
#sī veniet nūntius, facitō ut sciam#, Pl. _St._ 148, _if a messenger
shall come, be sure you let me know_. #sī dē mē ipsō plūra dīcere
vidēbor, īgnōscitōte#, _Sest._ 31, _if I seem to harp too much on
myself, you must excuse me_.
