[1] _caput_ has several metaphorical meanings, e.g. _capita
coniurationis_ (Liv. 9. 26), the leaders of the conspiracy; _caput
Graeciae_, the capital of Greece; _caput cenae_, the chief dish;
_capita legis_, the headings, clauses of a law; _id quod caput est_,
the main point; _de capite deducere_ (Liv. 6. 15), to subtract from
the capital; _capitis periculum_, mortal peril; _capitis deminutio_
(_maxima, media, minima_) (Liv. 22. 60), deprivation of civil rights.
_caput_ is often combined with _fons_ = source, origin, e.g. _ille
fons et caput Socrates_ (Cic. De. Or. 1. 42); _in aegritudine est fons
miseriarum et caput_ (Cic.) By metonymy _caput_ is used with _liberum_
(and _noxium_) (Verr. 2. 32. 79) with the meaning of a free (guilty)
person, individual.
[2] Cf. _velut in cervicibus habere hostem_ (Liv. 44. 39); _bellum
ingens in cervicibus est_ (Liv. 22. 33. 6).
[3] Cf. _ne digitum quidem porrigere alicuius rei causa_.
[4] Notice too _liberos de parentum complexu avellere_ (Verr. 2. 1. 3.
7), to snatch children from their parents' "arms" (not _brachium_), so
_in alicuius complexu mori_; _in alicuius complexu haerere_. _medium
aliquem amplecti_, to take to one's arms, embrace; _libentissimo animo
accipere_, to welcome with open arms.
[5] Distinguish _effugere aliquid_, to escape the touch of, e.g.
_invidiam, mortem_; and _effugere ex aliqua re_, to escape from a
position one is already in, e.g. _e carcere, e caede, e praelio_.
Notice _fugit me_, it escapes my notice.
[6] _animum advertere aliquid_ = _animadvertere aliquid_ = to notice a
thing; _animadvertere in aliquem_ = to punish a person.
[7] To shut one's eyes to a thing, _conivere in aliqua re_.
[8] Cf. _caecatus, occaecatus cupiditate, stultitia_.
