#sī aequom siet mē plūs sapere quam vōs, dederim vōbīs cōnsilium catum#,
Pl. _E._ 257, _if it becoming be for me to have more wit than ye, sage
counsel might I give_ (1558). #aufūgerim potius quam redeam, sī eō mihi
redeundum sciam#, T. _Hec._ 424, _I’d run away sooner than go back, if I
should hear I had to_ (1558). #nec satis sciō, nec sī sciam, dīcere
ausim#, L. _praef._ 1, _in the first place I do not know very well, and
secondly if I should know, I should not venture to say_ (1555). #iniussū
tuō extrā ōrdinem numquam pugnāverim, nōn sī certam victōriam videam#,
L. 7, 10, 2, _without orders from you I never should fight out of ranks,
no, not if I saw victory was certain_ (1558). #tum vērō nēquīquam hāc
dextrā capitōlium servāverim, si cīvem commīlitōnemque meum in vincula
dūcī videam#, L. 6, 14, 4, _upon my word, in that case I should prove to
have saved the capital in vain, if I saw a townsman and brother-in-arms
of mine haled to jail_. #multōs circā ūnam rem ambitūs fēcerim, sī quae
variant auctōrēs omnia exequī velim#, L. 27, 27, 12, _I should make a
long story about one subject, if I should undertake to go through all
the different versions of the authorities_.
