    1. B. In partic.

      2. 2. In contrasted clauses, mostly with ut, which may generally be rendered while: ut ad bella suscipienda Gallorum acer ac promptus est animus, sic mollis ad calamitates perferendas mens eorum est (almost = etsi ad bella suscipienda … tamen mollis est, etc., while, etc.), Caes.

Fam. 10, 20, 2; Liv. 4, 57, 11; Ov. M. 4, 131; 11, 76.
        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.

      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. Rep. 2, 21, 37; 3, 9, 15; id. Lael. 1, 4; id. Planc. 8, 21; id. Verr. 1, 36, 91; id. Balb. 5, 13; id. Att. 1, 8, 2; 1, 16, 1; Caes. B. G. 6, 41; Hor. S. 2, 3, 1.

        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.

Div. in Caecil. 19, 61: ego sic existimo, in summo imperatore quattuor res inesse oportere, id. Imp. Pomp. 10, 38; cf. Ter. Hec. 5, 4, 5; Cic. Inv. 2, 55, 167; id. de Or. 1, 20, 93; 2, 28, 122; id. 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.
      8. 8. With ut, expressing purpose or result: nunc sic faciam, sic consilium est, ad erum ut veniam docte atque astu, Plaut.

G. 5, 23; cf. Cato, R. R. 1, 1; Cic. Att. 8, 1, 4; id. Or. 2, 67, 271.
  5. V. Idiomatic usages of sic.
      1. 1. In a wish, expressed as a conclusion after an imperative (poet.): parce: sic bene sub tenerā parva quiescat humo (= si parces, bene quiescat), Tib. 2, 6, 30: annue: sic tibi sint intonsi, Phoebe, capilli, id. 2, 5, 121: pone, precor, fastus … Sic tibi nec vernum nascentia frigus adurat Poma, nec excutiant rapidi florentia venti, Ov.

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.
