“correction” in Latin

correctio: emendatio: (the words are found in this connection and order), correctio et emendatio. SYN. in To CORRECT, v.] ☞ Correctio is also the rhetorical figure, ἐπανόρθωσις, when an orator corrects himself, for the purpose of adding something stronger, etc. (☞ correctura = the office of a corrector, a sort of land-agent or steward in the time of the emperors). The labour of correction, *emendandi cura - *molestia corrigendi et emendandi (Krebs.). The most careful correction of the press, *cura, qua nulla eruditior cogitari potest, in plagulis de prelo corrigendis: to employ a person in the correction of the press, *alicui librum ab operarum mendis (or erratis) liberandum tradere: to attend to the correction of the press, *curam tollendis operarum erratis or mendis insumere: not to attend to the corrections that have been made, *non inspicere, quae emendata sunt (e.g., in an exercise).

Under correction, bona hoc tua venia dixerim (when offence is to be deprecated; e.g., “points of which the Roman augurs, I am speaking under correction are now themselves ignorant,” quae quidem nunc a Romanis auguribus ignorantur; bona hoc tua venia dixerim, Cic., Div., 1, 15, 25): *salvo tamen tuo judicio (with deference to your better judgement): nisi tu aliter existimas, sentis, censes: nisi tibi aliter videtur (unless you think differently). But, to speak under correction you do not prove your assertion, sed da mihi nunc; satisne probas? (Cic., Acad., 1, 3, 9.)
