Excerpt from book: quin extempulo dupli tibi, ami et hominis, fur leno siet ? Cat. R.R. praef. furem dupli condemnare, faeneratorem quadrupli; Cic. Of. iii. 16. 65 dupli poenam subiret. For the ablative duplo see p. 32. 4. THE GENITIVE IN EXPRESSIONS OF WORTHLESSNESS a) Nihili, flocci, nauci, etc. (i) Nihili Of all the expressions of worthlessness in Latin nihili, the genitive of nihilum (ne--hilum), is the one most frequently found. Unlike the others it is not confined strictly to the colloquial sphere. It has a wide range, showing greater mobility and more variety of use than any other. So frequent is it, and so common the occurrence of nihil and nihilo as colorless negatives, that its original meaning is almost lost sight of. In hilum, its primitive, we have a word of somewhat doubtful etymology. Charisius, K. i. 102, quoting Varro, says "hilum Varro rerum humanarum intestinum dicit tenuissimum, quod alii hillum appellaverunt." Varro's own words L.L. v. 22. in (G. and S.) are ab eadem fartura farciminainextis appellata, fa quo, in eo quod tenuissimum intestinum fartum, hila ab hilo dicta illo, quod ait Ennius 'neque dispendi facit hilum, ' which he explains in ix. 37. 54 as equivalent to 'nee dispendii facit quicquam.' Nonius (Lindsay, p. 174) does not help us very much with his comment: hilum, breve quod- dam. Lucilius (Marx 1021): quod tu nunc laudes culpes, non proficis hilum. Perhaps the explanation of Festus (Th. de P. 72), hilum putavit esse quod grano fabae adhaeret, ex quo nihil et nihilum, brings us nearest to the ultimate force of the word. Modern etymologists connect it with filum, "a thread." See Stowasser, Lexikon, Vorbegriffe, 2, and Walde, s.v. Besides the passages already cited it is used as something infinitely small by Lucilius (458 Marx) hilo non rectius vivas;...
