        So freq. two members of the same sentence are coordinated by ut … sic (ita) with almost the same force as a co-ordination by cum … tum, or by sed: consul, ut fortasse vere, sic parum utiliter in praesens certamen respondit (= vere fortasse, sed parum utiliter), Liv. 4, 6, 2: ut nondum satis claram victoriam, sic prosperae spei pugnam imber diremit, id. 6, 32, 6: (forma erat) ut non cygnorum, sic albis proxima cygnis, Ov. M. 14, 509; cf. Liv. 1, 27, 2; 5, 38, 2; 6, 6, 10; Ov. M. 1, 370.
        In this use etiam or quoque is sometimes joined with sic (never by Cic. with ita): nostri sensus, ut in pace semper, sic tum etiam in bello congruebant (= cum … tum), Cic. Marcell. 6, 16: ut sunt, sic etiam nominantur senes, id. Sen. 6, 20: utinam ut culpam, sic etiam suspitionem vitare potuisses, id.

        More rarely with quem ad modum, quomodo: ut, quem ad modum est, sic etiam appelletur tyrannus, Cic. Att. 10, 4, 2: quo modo ad bene vivendum, sic etiam ad beate, id. Tusc. 3, 17, 37.
      3. 3. With a clause of manner introduced by ut = so that: sic fuimus semper comparati ut hominum sermonibus quasi in aliquod judicium vocaremur, Cic. Or. 3, 9, 32: eam sic audio ut Plautum mihi aut Naevium videar audire, id. ib. 3, 12, 45: sic agam vobiscum ut aliquid de vestris vitiis audiatis, id. ib. 3, 12, 46: omnia sic suppetunt ut ei nullam deesse virtutem oratoris putem, id.

        Sometimes the correlative clause is restrictive, and sic = but so, yet so, only so: mihi sic placuit ut cetera Antisthenis, hominis acuti magis quam eruditi, Cic. Att. 12, 38, 4: sic conveniet reprehendi, ut demonstretur etc., id. Inv. 1, 46, 86; id. Brut. 79, 274; id. Marcell. 11, 34; id. Att. 13, 3, 1 (ita is more freq. in this sense).
      4. 4. With a clause expressing intensity (so both with adjj. and verbs; but far less freq. than ita, tam, adeo), to such a degree, so, so far, etc.: sic ego illum in timorem dabo, ipse sese ut neget esse eum qui siet, Plaut. Ps. 4, 1, 20 sq.: conficior lacrimis sic ut ferre non possim, Cic. Fam. 14, 4, 1: sic rem fuisse apertam ut judicium fieri nihil attinuerit, id. Inv. 2, 28, 84: cujus responso judices sic exarserunt ut capitis hominem innocentissimum condemnarent, id. Or. 1, 54, 233; cf. id. ib. 3, 8, 29; id. Brut. 88, 302; id. Or. 53, 177; 55, 184; id.

        1. a. Poet. and in post-Aug. prose, to represent the result of the condition as sure: sic invidiam effugies, si te non ingesseris oculis, si bona tua non jactaveris, si scieris in sinu gaudere, Sen. Ep. 105, 3: sic hodie veniet si qua negavit heri, Prop. 2, 14 (3, 6), 20.
        2. b.

Brut. 36, 138; 41, 152; id. Div. in Caecil. 3, 10; id. Verr. 1, 7, 20; Liv. 5, 15, 11.
        Esp., after sic habeto (habe, habeas) = scito (only Ciceron.): sic habeto, in eum statum tuum reditum incidere ut, etc., Cic. Fam. 2, 3, 1; so id. ib. 1, 7, 3; 2, 6, 5; 2, 10, 1; 7, 18, 1; 9, 16, 2; id. Att. 2, 25, 1; 5, 1, 5; 5, 20, 1 et saep.

          1. (α) In gen.: e Graecis cavendae sunt quaedam familiaritates, praeter hominum perpaucorum, si qui sunt vetere Graeciā digni. Sic vero fallaces sunt permulti et leves, but as things now stand, Cic. Q. Fr. 1, 1, 5, § 16: at sic citius quī te expedias his aerumnis reperias, Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 8: Pe.

Fam. 5, 20, 4: exhibeas molestiam si quid debeam, qui nunc sic tam es molestus, who art so troublesome even as it is, i. e. without my owing you any thing, Plaut. Pers. 2, 44: sic quoque parte plebis affectā, fides tamen publica potior senatui fuit, Liv. 7, 27; cf. Ov. F. 2, 642; Suet. Aug. 78.
      4. 4. Ellipt., referring to something in the mind of the speaker: Quod si hoc nunc sic incipiam? Nihil est. Quod si sic? Tantumdem egero. At sic opinor? Non potest, Ter. Heaut. 4, 2, 8: illa quae aliis sic, aliis secus videntur, to some in one way, to others in another (= aliis aliter), Cic. Leg. 1, 17, 47: Quid vini absumpsit!
