WEIGHT
Measure or relation of heaviness; also heaviness itself; (a) PROP. pondus. Roman weight Romana pondera nominative plur. (Vid: Liv. 38 38 quite at the end talentum ne minus pondo octoginta Romanis ponderibus pendat; i.e. not less than eighty pounds in Roman weight): all things fall to the ground by their own weight omnia pondere suo in terram feruntur: of great weight gravis (opposed to levis); grandi pondere: a pound in weight libram pondo (sc. valens; Vid: Liv. 3 29): a thousand pounds’ weight of gold mille (sc. libras) pondo auri (Liv. 5 48 quite at the end): of the weight of a silver denarius ad pondus argentei denarii pensum. (b) Figuratively. Importance pondus: momentum (that which turns the scale ῥοπή): auctoritas (authority influence): vis: gravitas (power force). Weight of words pondus verborum (Vid: Quint. 10 1 97): a man of great weight homo in quo summa auctoritas est et amplitudo (as a statesman); homo gravis (to whom much is usually assigned): words without weight verba sine pondere: to have weight gravem esse (of things and persons); aliquo numero atque honore esse (to stand in good repute; of persons): the thing has weight res habet gravitatem: to have weight with anyone pondus or aliquid ponderis habere apud aliquem (of things); aliquo loco et numero esse apud aliquem numerum obtinere apud aliquem (of persons): to have great weight with anyone magnum pondus habere or maximi ponderis esse apud aliquem (of things); multum auctoritate valere or posse apud aliquem (of persons): to have no weight nullius ponderis esse; ponderis nihil habere (of things); tenui or nulla auctoritate esse (of persons): to attach weight to anything vim tribuere alicui rei: to give weight to a thing alicui rei pondus afferre: weight of argument vis; momentum; [Vid: COGENCY].
A body of a certain weight; (a) by which one weighs other bodies pondus (general term; especially that which is placed in a scale): sacoma -atis neuter (σήκωμα τό weight hung on the other side of the balance or beam): aequipondium (so far as it forms a counterpoise to a heavy body). A false weight pondera iniqua (Vid: Liv. 5 48 quite at the end; to use such adhibere): a stamped weight pondus publice probatum (after Modestinus Dig. 48 10 32 No. 1): to put weights in the scale pondera in libram imponere: to buy or sell by weight pondere emere or vendere: to give by weight ad sacoma appendere: to weigh out give or take anything by the weight of a silver denarius aliquid ad pondus argentei denarii pendere (e.g. a medicine etc.); to deliver anything by weight ad sacoma pondus alicujus rei praestare (Vid: Vitr. 9 praef. §9 and 10).
That which one hangs on to anything; perhaps libramentum plumbi (with Liv. 24 34).
