[ūsus] quem penes arbitrium est et iūs et norma loquendī; (Hor. A. P. 72), custom, under whose control is the choice, right, and rule of speech.

“cûius ā mē corpus est cremātum, quod contrā decuit ab illō meum ” (Cat. M. 84) , whose body I burned [on the funeral pile], while on the contrary (contrary to which) mine should have been burned by him.
