as for the rest, Cic. Fin. 1, 7, 26; Curt. 4, 1, 14 al.;

and in ceterum,

for the rest, for the future, Sen. Ep. 78, 15.—

Plur., the rest, the others (freq. in all periods and species of composition):

Cic. Fam. 4, 4, 5:

multae sunt insidiae bonis nosti cetera,

id. Planc. 24, 59; id. Fat. 13, 29:

Et cetera ceteraque or cetera, and so forth, kai ta hexês, when one refers to a well-known object with only a few words, or mentions only a few from a great number of objects, Cic. de Or. 2, 32, 141:

ut illud Scipionis, Agas asellum et cetera,

id. ib. 2, 64, 258; id. Top. 6, 30; 11, 48; id. Tusc. 2, 17, 39; id. Att. 2, 19, 3:

solem, lunam, mare, cetera,

Lucr. 2, 1085:

fundum, aedes, parietem, supellectilem, penus, cetera,

Cic. Top. 5. 27.—

Hence, the advv.,

cē-tĕrum (orig. acc. respectiv.), lit. that which relates to the other, the rest (besides what has been mentioned).

For the rest, in other respects, otherwise (in good prose):

nihil, nisi ut ametis impero: Ceterum quantum lubet me poscitote aurum, ego dabo,

Plaut. Bacch. 4, 4, 52: tu aurum rogato: ceterum ( for the rest, in respect to the rest) verbum sat est, id. ib. 4, 8, 37: precator, qui mihi sic oret: nunc amitte quaeso hunc;

ceterum Posthac si quicquam, nil precor,

Ter. Phorm. 1, 2, 91:

ego me in Cumano et Pompeiano, praeterquam quod sine te, ceterum satis commode oblectabam,

Cic. Q. Fr. 2, 12 (14), 1:

foedera alia aliis legibus, ceterum eodem modo omnia fiunt,

Liv. 1, 24, 3; cf. Sall. J. 2, 4; 75, 3; Nep. Eum. 8, 5; Curt. 4, 1, 18.—Rarely after the verb: argentum accepi;

nil curavi ceterum,

Plaut. Capt. 5, 3, 12: numquid me vis ceterum? id. Ep. 4, 2, 76.—

= alioquin, introducing a conclusion contrary to fact (mostly post-class.), otherwise, else, in the opposite event, = Gr. allôs: non enim cogitaras;

ceterum Idem hoc melius invenisses,

Ter. Eun. 3, 1, 62:

ita et anima... solam vim ejus exprimere non valuit,... ceterum non esset anima, sed spiritus,

Tert. adv. Marc. 2, 9; App. M. 7, p. 200, 33; Dig. 4, 4, 7, § 2 al.—

In passing to another thought, besides, for the rest; very freq. (esp. in the histt.; usu. placed at the beginning of a new clause;

only in the comic poets in the middle): Filium tuom te meliust repetere, Ceterum uxorem abduce ex aedibus,

Plaut. Truc. 4, 3, 73; Ter. Hec. 3, 3, 31; Sall. J. 4, 1; 20, 8; 29, 2; Quint. 6, 1, 8; 8, 6, 51; 9, 2, 14 al.; Suet. Caes. 4; 16; id. Tib. 42; id. Claud. 1; Curt. 3, 1, 4; 3, 3, 7; 3, 6, 13; Col. 8, 8, 5:

dehinc ceterum valete,

Plaut. Poen. prol. 125; cf. id. ib. 91. —

With a restricting force, commonly contrasted with quidem or a neg. phrase; often to be translated by but, yet, notwithstanding, still, on the other hand (esp. freq. since the Aug. per.):

cum haud cuiquam in dubio esset, bellum ab Tarquiniis imminere, id quidem spe omnium serius fuit: ceterum, id quod non timebant, per dolum ac proditionem prope libertas amissa est,

Liv. 2, 3, 1; Plin. Pan. 5, 4; Flor. 3, 1, 11; Suet. Aug. 8; 66; id. Tib. 61 fin.; id. Gram. 4 al.:

eos multum laboris suscipere, ceterum ex omnibus maxume tutos esse,

Sall. J. 14, 12:

avidus potentiae, honoris, divitiarum, ceterum vitia sua callide occultans,

id. ib. 15, 3; 52, 1; 83, 1; id. C. 51, 26:

eo rem se vetustate oblitteratam, ceterum suae memoriae infixam adferre,

id. 28, 11, 7; 9, 21, 1; 21, 6, 1 Weissenb. ad loc.:

ut quisquis factus est princeps, extemplo fama ejus, incertum bona an mala, ceterum aeterna est,

Plin. Pan. 55, 9:

pauca repetundarum crimina, ceterum magicas superstitiones objectabat,

Tac. A. 12, 59; cf. Liv. 3, 40, 11.—

cē-tĕra (properly acc. plur.), = talla, ta loipa, as for the rest, otherwise; with adjj., and (in poets) with verbs (not found in Cic. or Quint.).

With adj.:

Bocchus praeter nomen cetera ignarus populi Romani,

Sall. J. 19, 7:

hastile cetera teres praeterquam ad extremum,

Liv. 21, 8, 10:

excepto quod non simul esses, cetera laetus,

Hor. Ep. 1, 10, 50 (cf. the passage cited under ceterum, II. A. 1. fin., Cic. Q. Fr. 2, 12 (14), 1):

cetera Graius,

Verg. A. 3, 594 (so prob. also Hor. Ep. 1, 10, 3, where others read ad cetera):

virum cetera egregium secuta,

Liv. 1, 35, 6:

vir cetera sanctissimus,

Vell. 2, 46, 2 Ruhnk.; Plin. 8, 15, 16, § 40; 12, 6, 13, § 25; 22, 25, 64, § 133; Tac. G. 29.—

Verg. A. 9, 656; cf. Sil. 17, 286:

cetera non latet hostis,

id. 2, 332; Mart. 13, 84.—

cētĕrō, peculiar to the Nat. Hist. of Pliny, for the rest, in other respects, otherwise:

cetero viri quam feminae majus,

Plin. 11, 37, 49, § 133; so id. 3, 11, 16, § 105; 6, 26, 30, § 122; 8, 3, 4, § 7;

10, 1, 1, § 1 al.: est et alia iritis cetero similis, at praedura,

id. 37, 9, 52, § 138.—

Of time: palumbes incubat femina post meridiana in matutinum, cetero mas,

id. 10, 58, 79, § 159.

ille (old orthog., olle), a, ud ( ollus, a, um, Enn. ap. Varr. L. L. 7, § 42 Müll.; Verg. A. 5, 197; in dramat. poets often ĭlle, v. Corss. Ausspr. II. p. 624), gen. illīus (usu. illĭus in epic and lyric poets; Cic. de Or. 3, 47, 183; illīus in the time of Quint; cf. Ritschl, Opusc. 2, 683 sqq.; 696; gen. sing. m. illi, Cato ap. Prisc. p. 694; dat. sing. f. olli, Verg. A. 1, 254; Cato, R. R. 153 and 154; abl. plur. ‡ ab oloes = ab illis, Paul. ex Fest. p. 19 Müll.); pron. demonstr. [Etym. dub., v. Corss. Beitr. p. 301], points (opp. hic) to something more remote, or which is regarded as more remote, and, in contrast with hic and iste, to something near or connected with a third person, that; he, she, it ( absol.).

In gen.

Cic. Rosc. Am. 21, 59:

commendo vobis illum et illum,

Suet. Caes. 41.—
