      In a play upon words: erat surdaster M. Crassus; sed aliud molestius quod male audiebat, Cic. Tusc. 5, 40, 116; so, minus commode: quod illorum culpā se minus commode audire arbitrarentur, id. Verr. 2, 3, 58.
    5. E. As it were to hear, to hear mentally, i. e. to understand, to supply, something (later subaudio): cum subtractum verbum aliquod satis ex ceteris intellegitur, ut, stupere gaudio Graecus. Simul enim auditur coepit, is understood, is to be supplied, Quint. 9, 3, 58; 8, 5, 12.
