[Jactatio]; Gloriatio; Ostentatio; Venditatio. Jactatio and gloriatio have their foundation in vanity and self-complacency; jactatio is making much ado of one’s excellencies and merits, and shows itself in words and actions, with the accessory notion of folly; gloriatio is talking big, proclaiming one’s excellencies and merits, with the accessory notion of insolence; whereas ostentatio and venditatio have their foundation in a crafty calculation of the effect to be produced, and a disregard to truth; ostentatio would conceal real emptiness under a false show; venditatio would, by exaggerating one’s excellencies, pass them off for greater than they are.

[Idoneus]; Aptus. Idoneus denotes a passive, aptus an active fitness for any thing. F. A. Wolf. Or, the idoneus is fitted by his qualifications, and, through outward circumstances, for any particular destination, like the ἐπιτήδειος; the aptus (from potis, potens), by his worth and adequacy, like ἱκανός. The idoneus is in himself inactive, and suffers himself to be employed for a particular purpose, for which he is qualified; the aptus himself engages in the business, because he is adequate to it. (iii. 276.)
