    16.
    After diversum, otherwise than:

    too great for, greater than, id. 7, 8:

    ferramenta duplicia, quam numerus servorum exigit,

    twice as many as, Col. 1, 8, 8.—So, too, after designations of time:

    die vigesimā, quam creatus erat, dictaturā se abdicavit,

    on the twentieth day after, Liv. 6, 29: tabellarii venerunt post diem sextum, quam a vobis discesserant, Cic. Fil. ap. Cic. Fam. 16, 21, 1:

    postridie venissemus, quam... fuissemus,

    Cic. Ac. 2, 3, 9:
