1. Quies (from κεῖσθαι?) denotes absolute rest, in opp. to activity in general, like ἡσυχία; tranquillitas, quietness in acting, in opp. to hasty or passionate activity, like ἑκηλία. Sen. Ep. 3. Et quiescenti agendum et agenti quiescendum est; comp. with Cic. Top. 3. Ut aut perturbentur animi aut tranquillentur. Hence is quietus allied in sense with otiosus, segnis, languidus; whereas tranquillus with lenis, placidus, moderatus. 2. Quies is rest in itself; requies, rest after activity and exertion. Curt. ix. 6. § 2. Ne quies corpori invalido adhuc necessaria pulsu remorum impediretur: comp. with § 3. Placuit hic locus ad suam et militum requiem. (i. 80.)
