iniciō (present infinitive inicere, perfect active iniēcī, supine iniectum); third conjugation iō-variant

   • c. 4 BCE – 65 CE, Seneca the Younger, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium 1.1.2:

     Fac ergō, mī Lūcīlī, quod facere tē scrībis, omnēs hōrās complectere; sīc fīet ut minus ex crāstinō pendeās, sī hodiernō manum iniēcerīs.

     Therefore, my dear Lucilius, do what you write [me that] you are doing: embrace every hour. In this way it will happen that you will depend less on tomorrow if today you will have seized the task at hand.
     (Can be understood figuratively, “to accept responsibility,” as well as literally, “to do the work,” and Seneca’s emphasis here is probably more the latter sense of activity — whether grabbing a shovel or, in his example, taking up a pen.)

¹At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
