Thanks for your gracious reply.

 Where did you find it?

Long story, but I think it was the name of a sword in a long-lost historical
novel. I've seen non requitur in a legal context, perhaps somehow
connected with or contrasted with non seq.

Also, Et sicut non requitur tanta deliberatio ad simplicem loquelam, sicut
ad iuramentum (quia saepe est loquendum et raro iurandum) ita non requiritur
tanta ... 
---William of Ockham, Dialogus, pars 1, lib. 7, cap. 34-38


I should have listened more carefully to the Christian Brothers in 9th
grade.

Highest regards,

Geo. H.

RE: VIRGIL: Your kind assistance, please (easy one)

[Patrick Roper]

 If I ran across the name (?) inscription (?)
 
 REQUITUR

 Nothing, not even 'it is once more possible', unless perhaps you are in
 the hands of a creative mediaeval writer.

 
 what, if anything, might it signify?
 
 Declined from requiro?

 No: unless it is 'requiritur' written abbreviatedly in a manuscript as
 reqtur with an i over the q. Where did you find it?

For example this in William of Ockham, Dialogus, pars 1, lib. 7, cap. 34-38:

Et sicut non requitur tanta deliberatio ad simplicem loquelam, sicut ad
iuramentum (quia saepe est loquendum et raro iurandum) ita non requiritur
tanta deliberatio, cum quis publice docet et praedicat: sicut cum Papa
aliquid tanquam catholicum diffinit solenniter.

In a legal sense I found this: Suffice it to say that such arguments are
clearly non-requitur, and that denial is inherently a weak defense which
cannot prevail over positive identifications.
