I. To say beforehand, to fix or appoint beforehand (very rare): “prodictā die,” Cic. Dom. 17, 45 (dub.).—
II. To put off, defer (not in Cic. or Cæs.): “diem prodicere,” to adjourn the time of trial, Liv. 2, 61, 7; v. Weissenb. ad loc.; Liv. 6, 20, 11; 38, 51, 5: “ubi praetor reo atque accusatoribus diem prodixisset,” Tac. A. 2, 79 (in Cic. N. D. 2, 3, 7, the true read. is praedici; Cic. Div. 1, 42, 93, praedicunt).
