+ It meant to have physical or mental vigour, to be active, of plants to thrive, and of people to be successful or influential in a field, as Philo was in the Academy.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) Of customs it meant to be in force or to flourish, as Plautus says “that is the custom now”, of words or rhythms to be effective, and in Columella of prices to be high.^(OLD 2012)
