I. To satisfaction, sufficiently, abundantly, enough (so that one desires no more, therefore subjective; while satis signifies sufficient, so that one needs nothing more, therefore objective, Doed. Syn. I. p. 108 sq.): adfatim edi, bibi, lusi, Liv. Andron. ap. Paul. ex Fest. p. 11 Müll., after Hom. Od. 15, 372 (Com. Rel. p. 4 Rib.): “edas de alieno quantum velis, usque adfatim,” till you have enough, Plaut. Poen. 3, 1, 31: miseria una uni quidem homini est adfatim, id. Trin. 5, 2, 61 (where adfatim, as sometimes also satis, abunde, frustra, is constr. as an adj.): “eisdem seminibus homines adfatim vescuntur,” Cic. N. D. 2, 51: “adfatim satiata (aquila),” id. Tusc. 2, 10, 24: “adfatim satisfacere alicui,” id. Att. 2, 16: “parare commeatum adfatim,” Sall. J. 43: “de cytiso adfatim diximus,” Plin. 18, 16, 43, § 148.—Acc. to Fest. p. 11, Terence uses it (in a passage not now extant) for ad lassitudinem, to weariness, satiety, which may be derived from the etym. above given.—Sometimes, like abunde and satis, as subst. with gen.; v. Roby, §§ “1294, 1296, and Rudd. II. p. 317: divitiarum adfatim est,” Plaut. Mil. 4, 1, 33: “hominum,” id. Men. 3, 1, 10: “copiarum,” Liv. 34, 37: “vini,” Just. 1, 8.—
II. In later Lat. before an adj. (cf. abunde), sufficiently, enough: “adfatim onustus,” App. M. 9, p. 221, 31 Elm.: “feminae adfatim multae,” Amm. 14, 6.!*? The poet and gram. Annianus, in Gell. 7, 7, 1, accented the word a/dfatim, while at an earlier period it was pronounced adfa/tim, since it was considered as two words; cf. Doed. Syn. I. p. 110.
