absque

abs-que, prep. gov. abl. [from abs and the generalizing -que, like susque deque from sub and de; cf. Prisc. 999 P.] (ante- and post-class.), without.

• I Ante-class.
• • A Denoting defect in conception, while the class. sine indicates defect in reality. In Plaut. and Ter. only in conditional clauses: absque me, te, eo, etc., esset = nisi or si ego, tu, is, etc.. non fuissem; without me, i. e. without my agency, if it had not been for me: nam hercle absque me foret et meo praesidio, hic faceret te prostibilem, if I had not stood by you, Plaut. Pers. 5, 2, 56 (832); cf. id. Trin. 5, 2, 3 (1127): nam absque ted esset, numquam hodie ad solem occasum viverem, if you had not aided me, etc., id. Men. 5, 7, 33 (1022); cf. id. Bacch. 3, 3, 8 (412); id. Trin. 4, 1, 13 (832): absque eo esset, recte ego mihi vidissem, Ter. Phorm. 189. Somewhat different is, quam fortunatus ceteris sum rebus, absque una hac foret, if it were not for this one thing, id. Hec. 601.
  • B After Plaut. and Ter., absque appears in the classic lang. only a few times in a kind of jurid. formula: absque sententiā, without judgment, contrary to it: nullam a me epistulam ad te sino absque argumento ac sententiā pervenire, Cic. Att. 1, 19, 1; cf.: an etiamsi nullā ratione ductus est, impetu raptus sit et absque sententiā? Quint. 7, 2, 44.
• II Post-class.
• • A Likewise in jurid. lang., i. q. sine, without: decerni absque libelli documento, Cod. Th. 11, 30, 40; so, absque praejudicio, Gell. 2, 2, 7: absque ullā observatione, Cod. Th. 13, 5, 38: absque omni praerogativā principum, Amm.23, 5.
  • B I. q. praeter, except: apud Aeschylum eundem esse versum absque paucis syllabis, Gell. 13, 18 (19), 4; so, absque paucis, Symm. Ep. 2, 36: absque his, Cod. Th. 6, 4, 18; 11, 16, 17: purpureus absque caudā, except the tail, Sol. 46.—Adv., = praeterquam, nisi: absque labra, except the lips, Amm.23, 5; so, absque illud nomen, Jul. Val. Rer. Gest. Alex. M. 1, 18.

absque = et abs: loca, templa ... eorum relinquatis absque his abeatis, Form. ap. Macr. S. 3, 9.

1. absque = et abs, Carm. vet. bei Macr. sat. 3, 9, 8.

2. abs-que, Praep. m. Abl. u. Adv., fern von, I) eig.: absque omnibus profanis, Apul. apol. 55. – II) übtr., weggenommen, 1) weggedacht, immer nur in Konditionalsätzen, wie: absque te esset, wärest du nicht, ständest du mir nicht bei, Plaut.: absque me foret et meo praesidio, stand ich und meine Hilfe dir nicht zur Seite, Plaut.: absque hoc esset, täte er es nicht, wenn er nicht wäre, Ter.: quam fortunatus sum ceteris rebus, absque unā hāc foret, wäre dieses einzige nicht, Ter.: u. so bl. absque te uno, Gell. Vgl. Brix zu Plaut. trin. 832. Holtze Synt. 1, 344. – 2) wirklich weggenommen, a) = ausgenommen, abgerechnet, außer, absque paucis syllabis, Gell.: absque cauda, Solin.: absque Augusto, Aur. Vict.: absque quod, außer daß er usw., Aur. Vict.: absque me, te, illo, Eccl. (vgl. Bünem. zu Lact. 3, 13, 8): absque his, qui od. quae etc., oft bei Amm. – adverb., absque illud numen, Iul. Val.: m. folg. cum (wenn), absque cum e terminatur, Mart. Cap. 3. § 280. – b) sonder, ohne, absque sententia, ohne es zu wollen, Quint.: absque ulla fraude, Cod. Theod.: absque instrumento, Amm.: nonnulla absque feminis sacra sunt, Min. Fel.

absque

• praep.with abl.; prop., apart from, away from; hence in conditional clauses, apart from (in thought), but for, were it not for: absque eo esset, vidissem, etc., were it not for him, T.: absque unā hac foret, but for this one thing, T.; (absque for sine is late and vulgar).
