very cruel indeed

quamde pro quam usos esse antiquos, cum multi veteres testimonio sunt, tum Ennius... et Lucretius (1, 640),

quam nihil praetermittis in consilio dando! quam nihil tamen, quod tibi placeat, explicas!

ut se accusari nolunt! quam cupiunt laudari!

quam multa, quam paucis!

quam sint morosi, intellegi potest,

quam vellet, cunctaretur,

memoriā tenetis, quam valde universi admurmurarint,

quam quisque potest,

quam potuit,

concede huc ab isto, quam potest longissime,

quam possunt mollissime,

quam maximas, quam primum, quam saepissime gratias agere,

ut quam angustissime Pompeium contineret,

tum Manlius... quam poterat clarā voce denuntiavit,

dixi de philosophiā quam breviter potui,

tusa cribrataque vino, quam possit excellenti,

est fidei nostrae, declarare, quam memores simus,

scio, quam timida sit ambitio,

quam id ratum sit, tu judicabis,

id quam injustum esset, non videbat,

dici non potest quam sim disputatione tuā delectatus,

videte quam iniqui sint,

ut sentias quam vile sit corpus,

tam ego ante fui liber, quam gnatus tuos,

si era me sciat tam socordem esse quam sum,

tua est imago: tam consimilis est, quam potest,

tam esse clemens tyrannus quam rex importunus potest,

homo non, quam isti sunt, gloriosus,

claris majoribus, quam vetustis,

quam paucissimos reliqueris, tam optimi fiunt,

quam quisque pessume fecit, tam maxume tutus est,

quam magis... tam magis,

quam magis exhausto spumaverit ubere mulctra, Laeta magis pressis manabunt flumina mammis,

quam magis te in altum capessis, tam aestus te in portum refert,

In the reverse order: tam magis... quam magis,

quam magis... tanto magis,

ne libentius haec in illum evomere videar, quam verius,

non acrior quam pertinacior impetus Romanorum,

discrimen me occupavit, meliore hostium quam meo tempore,

per dexteram te istam oro non tam in bellis et proeliis, quam in promissis et fide firmiorem,

nobis nihil est tlmendum magis quam ille consul,

his igitur, quam physicis potius credendum existimas?

majorem pecuniam praetori polliceri, quam quantam hic dedisset,

qui plures milites eorum occidisset, quam quot superessent,

esse quam videri bonus malebat,

an est quod ego malim quam?

de re majore quam quanta ea esset,

implere homines certioris spei, quam quantam fides promissi humani subicere solet,

22, 2, 19.— But quam is often omitted after plus, minus, amplius, etc., without changing the case: minus duo milia hominum effugerunt,

plus partem dimidiam hominum caesam,

cum decem haud plus milibus militum,

ut hoc nostrum desiderium ne plus sit annuum,

ferre plus dimidiati mensis cibaria,

plus quingentos colaphos infregit mihi,

quam multā grandine nimbi Culminibus crepitant, sic densis ictibus heros pulsat, etc.,

nihil aeque eos terruit, quam robur ac color imperatoris,

contra faciunt, quam professi sunt,

ne me secus honore honestes quam ego te,

nil aliud agens quam ut, etc.,

neque aliud totā urbe agi quam bellum apparari,

ob nullam aliam causam, quam ne,

ipse me paulum in aliā quam prius habuerim opinione nunc esse confiteor,

ne aliter, quam ego velim, meum laudet ingenium,

ne aliter quam si, etc.,

saepe supra feret, quam fieri possit,

ultra, quam satis est, producitur,

pransus quoque atque potus diversum valent quam indicant,

multiplex, quam pro numero, damnum est,

ferramenta duplicia, quam numerus servorum exigit,

die vigesimā, quam creatus erat, dictaturā se abdicavit,

postridie venissemus, quam... fuissemus,

postero die quam illa erant acta,

saeculis multis ante... inventa sunt, quam, etc.,

bellum gerere cum tyranno, quam qui unquam, saevissimo et violentissimo in suos,

tam gratum mihi id erit, quam quod gratissimum,

tam sum amicus rei publicae quam qui maxime,

ego sum tam mitis, quam qui lenissimus,

tacita mulier semper, quam loquens,

pacem quam bellum probabam,

admodum quam saevos est,

nimis quam formido, ne, etc.,

nimis quam cupio,

quam familiariter,

mire quam,

(oratorem) plane perfectum et cui nihil admodum desit,
