Verr. 2, 2, 63, § 154; id. Leg. 2, 1, 3; id. de Or. 1, 4, 16; id. Or. 23, 75: “non omnia nimirum eidem di dedere,” truly, Liv. 22, 51: “nimirum haec illa Charybdis, etc.,” Verg. A. 3, 558: “cui placet alterius sua nimirum est odio sors,” of course, Hor. Ep. 1, 14, 11.—After a question: “sed quid id ad rem? nimirum, inquit, in eo causa consistit,” Cic. Quint. 25, 79. —

Ep. 1, 9, 1; 1, 15, 42; Juv. 2, 104; Tac. H. 1, 33: “nimirum summi ducis est occidere Galbam,” id. A. 2, 82.
