Translation of "cohibitus" into English

Hac enim agendi ratione officium suum non praestat illicitae vel iniustae legi; potius vero aequus opportunusque inducitur conatus ut eius iniquae cohibeantur species.

This does not in fact represent an illicit cooperation with an unjust law, but rather a legitimate and proper attempt to limit its evil aspects.

sic cohiberi pravas aliorum spes rebatur; simul modestiae Neronis et suae magnitudini fidebat.

In this manner he thought to check the perverse ambition of others, while he had confidence in Nero's moderation and in his own greatness.
