  1. to reckon, calculate

    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.45-46:
      “Dīs equidem auspicibus reor et Iūnōne secundā
      hunc cursum Īliacās ventō tenuisse carīnās.”
      “As for me, I believe with the gods’ approval and with Juno’s blessing that the Trojan fleet held this course by wind.”
      (Anna’s mistaken belief reads as tragic irony given Juno’s hostility to Aeneas’s quest.)
