B The punishment, chastisement (of the censor); cf.: censionem facere dicebatur censor, quom multam equiti irrogabat, Paul. ex Fest. p. 54, 5 Müll.—Hence, in the lang. of comedy: censio bubula, a scourging, Plaut. Aul. 4, 1, 15.—

II A severe opinion, judgment: de nostris epistulis, Symm. Ep. 1, 3; Ambros. Abrah. 2, 1, 1.—
