Rogitare, ad cmnam ut veniat. Cic.

tiuin labefacta est compromisso Sardo- 
rum, et conjuratione rogitata. 
R(5G6 (unc.), as, avi, atum, a. and n. 1. 
to ask, inquire, interrogate, request or 
demand, to know, epopai, irvvSauopai. 
Tercnt. Roget quis: quid tibi cum ilia? 
Odd. Si forte roges, if pcradnenture you 
would know. Cic. Quibusnam deservis? 
rogas ? do you ask 7 do you wish to know 7 
Plant. Quid negotii sit, rogas ? Terent. 
(So.) Quapropter? (Si.) rogas? do you 
aslcl have you to ask that 7 chidingly. 
So, Id. Quid vis? (Da.) at etiam ro¬ 
gas? Cic. Rogavi, pervenissentne 
Agrigentum, I asked whether they, &c. 
Plant. De istoc. (A. c. de ista re) rogare 
omitte. — It takes an accus. either of 
the person to whom the inquiry is ad¬ 
dressed, or of the thing asked. Cic. 
fragm. Roga ipsum, quemadmodurn 
ego, &c. Terent. Die quod rogo, tell 
me what I ask. Cic. Respondeto ad ea, 
quie de te rogaro, which I shall ask you. 
Hence, in pass. Rogor, I am asked; Res 
rogatur, the thing is asked after. Thus, 
Cic. Rogatus de Cybea, asked, interro¬ 
gated. Id. Me non esse rogatum sen- 
tentiam, was not asked my opinion, sc. in 
the senate. So, Id. Ego rogatus, sc. 
sententiam. Odd. Via roganda est, 
you must ask the way. — Both accusa¬ 
tives (of the person and of the thing) 
are often found together. Plant. Di- 
cisne hoc, quod te rogo ? Phatdr. 
Rogare aliquem causam alicujus rei. 
Cic. Racilius de privatis me sen¬ 
tentiam rogavit, asked me for my 
opinion, vote. — Hence, Rogatum, a 
question. Cic. Nunquain nobis ad roga¬ 
tum respondent (unless it be from rn- 
qatus, us). — Rogare is, also, to ask one 
if he will promise something. Pandect. 
In novissima parte pactorum ita solet 
inseri: Rogavit Titius: respondit Mm- 
vius. Hence, Plant. Roga me viginti 
minas, desire me to promise you. — This 
verb is ofted used of tbe comitia. Thus, 
Cic. Rogare populum ; and, Liv. ple- 
bem, to ask the people if they will approve 
of a certain proposition or bill, or will 
accept the nomination of a person for an 
office, and choose him accordingly. So, 
also, Rogare aliquem and ali’quid, to 
propose to the people a person for their 
choice, or something (a law, for instance) 
for their acceptance. Cic. Leges perni- 
ciosas rogavi, have proposed, brought, in, 
presented. Id. Leg. 2, 10. Leges’ a me 
rogabuntur, li. e. facetiously, for memo- 
rabuntur. Id. Majus imperium a mi- 
nore rogari non est jus (as, for instance, 
that a consul should be proposed by a 
prstor). Id. consoles, propose them for 
election, nominate them to the people. Id. 
Comitia consulibus rogandis, h. e. for 
the choice of consuls. Hence, Rogare 
populum aliquid, or aliquem, to propose 
or offer to the people a person for their 
choice or a measure for their acceptance ; 
as, Liv. Ut duqviros asdiles dictator po¬ 
pulum rogaret. Cic. e legg. xii. tab. 
Quod tribuni plebem rogassint, ratum 
esto. — Also used of the people, to 
choose, make, ordain. Cic. e legg. xii.

proximo rogabo. Asellio ap. Oell. Cre- 
pidarium cultellum rogavit a crepida- 
rio sutore. Pandect. Rogare fidejusso- 
res, h. e. precibus arcessere. Plin. Ep.

mea permulta rogatus fecit, being asked 
to do. Sueton. Rogatus, ut ca’ntaret,

in senatum rogari jussit. And with 
accus. Ovid. Hoc estote rogati, ut, &c. 
be asked for this, h. e. we ask this of you. 
Liv. Rogatus auxilia. — Cic. distin¬ 
guishes rogare (to ask, beg), from petere 
(to sue fur in form). Thus, Phil. 2, 
30. Consulatum peteres, vel potius roga- 
res. —Proverb. Cic. Malo emere, quam 
rogare, I would rather buy it, than ask an¬ 
other to lend it to me, of things of small 
cost. — I’recario rogare aliquem, h. e. to 
ask without having any daim upon the per¬ 
son asked, ask wholly as a favor. Cic. — 
Rogassit, for rogaverit. Cic. e legg. xii.
