I found this phrase while looking through Lewis & Short's A Latin Dictionary, which is supposed to idiomatically mean "to press one strongly to stay". The phrase is followed by a reference to Cicero: "Cic. Att. 13, 33, 4".
Unfortunately I have had little luck in finding the correct passage, or indeed, finding the phrase in Latin literature.
Has anyone else come across this phrase before?
