      3. 3. In espousals, auctores are the witnesses of the marriage contract (parents, brothers, guardians, relatives, etc.): nubit genero socrus, nullis auspicibus, nullis auctoribus, Cic. Clu. 5.
  4. G. An agent, factor, spokesman, intercessor, champion: praeclarus iste auctor suae civitatis, Cic. Fl. 22: (Plancius) princeps inter suos … maximarum societatum auctor, plurimarum magister, id. Planc. 13, 22: meae salutis, id. Sest. 50, 107: doloris sui, querelarum, etc., id. Fl. 22 fin.
    Note: In class. Lat. auctor is also used as fem.: eas aves, quibus auctoribus etc., Cic.

P., and others make between auctor fem. and auctrix, that auctrix would refer more to the lit. signif. of the verb, augeo, while auctor fem. has more direct relation to the prevailing signif. of its noun, auctoritas, is unfounded.

Verr. 2, 1, 42: ejus (Sexti) mihi vivit auctoritas, id. Att. 10, 1, 1: his rebus adducti et auctoritate Orgetorigis permoti etc., Caes. B. G. 1, 3: ut per auctoritatem earum civitatium suae preces nuper repudiatae faciliorem aditum ad senatum haberent, i. e. agentibus, intervenientibus, Liv. 38, 3 al.

            Hence the superscription to the decrees of the Senate: SENATVS. CONSVLTI. AVCTORITAS., abbrev., S. C. A., Cic. Fam. 8, 8.
            Sometimes between senatūs auctoritas and senatūs consultum this distinction is to be made, that the former designates a decision of the senate, invalidated by the protestation of the tribune of the people or by the people themselves; the latter, one that is passed without opposition, Cic.

Fl. 4: utilitatis species falsa ab honestatis auctoritate superata est, id. Off. 3, 30, 109: cum antea per aetatem nondum hujus auctoritatem loci attingere auderem, of this honorable place, i. e. the rostra, id. Imp. Pomp 1: bibliothecas omnium philosophorum mihi videtur XII. tabularum libellus auctoritatis pondere superare, id. de Or. 1, 44, 195; id. Fam. 1, 7; Dolab. ap. Cic. ib. 9, 9 fin.: auctoritas praecipua lupo (pisci), Plin. 9, 17, 28, § 61: Post eum (Maecenatum) interiit auctoritas sapori (pullorum asinorum), id. 8, 43, 68, § 170 Jan: unguentorum, id. 13, 1, 2, § 4: auctoritas dignitasque formae, Suet. Claud. 30.

Rosc. Am. 6, 16 al.
  4. G. A warrant, security for establishing a fact, assertion, etc., credibility: cum ea (justitia) sine prudentiā satis habeat auctoritatis, Cic. Off. 2, 9, 34: desinant putare, auctoritatem esse in eo testimonio, cujus auctor inventus est nemo, id. Fl. 22, 53: Quid vero habet auctoritatis furor iste, quem divinum vocatis? id. Div. 2, 54, 110: tollitur omnis auctoritas somniorum, id. ib. 2, 59, 123: cum ad vanitatem accessit auctoritas, id. Lael. 25, 94.
      1. 2. Meton., the things which serve for the verification or establishment of a fact.

    So in the laws of the XII. Tables: ADVERSVS. HOSTEM. AETERNA. AVCTORITAS., against a stranger the right of possession is perpetual (i. e. a stranger cannot, by prescription, obtain the right of possession to the property of a Roman), ap. Cic. Off. 1, 12, 37.
  6. J. In jurid. lang., a guaranty, security, Paul. Sent. 2, 17.

auctōro, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. (access. form auctōror, āri, Dig. 26, 8, 4; 27, 6, 9; App. M. 9, p. 225, 40; Tert. ad Scap. 1) [auctor].

Apocol.p.251 Bip.: auctoratus ob sepeliendum patrem, Quint. Decl. 302; Inscr. Orell. 4404.
    Hence, in the pun: ipsum magis auctoratum populum Romanum circumferens, i. e. brought into greater danger than the gladiators, Plin. 36, 15, 24, § 117.
    Hence,
    1. B. In gen., to bind: eo pignore velut auctoratum sibi proditorem ratus est, Liv. 36, 10; Manil. 5, 340.
