    claris majoribus, quam vetustis,

    rather than, Tac. A. 4, 61.—
    3.

    With tanto:

    quam magis... tanto magis,

    the more... the more, Plaut. Men. 1, 1, 19; so Lucr. 6, 460.—
    6.
    With a double comp.:

    ne libentius haec in illum evomere videar, quam verius,

    with more freedom than truth, Cic. Mil. 29, 78:

    non acrior quam pertinacior impetus Romanorum,

    an est quod ego malim quam?

    Cic. Par. 1; after statuo, Nep. Dat. 8, 1; after probo, Tac. A. 1, 58; after volo ( = boulomai ê), Liv. 3, 68, 11; 25, 29, 6.— Rarely quantus is used to strengthen quam, after comp.:

    de re majore quam quanta ea esset,

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

    id. 26, 19, 2 Weissenb. ad loc.;

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

    id. 36, 40, 5; cf. id. 29, 25, 2:

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

    Verg. A. 5, 458.— With sic omitted, Verg. A. 6, 309 sqq.—
    10.
    After aeque, so much... as:

    nihil aeque eos terruit, quam robur ac color imperatoris,

    Liv. 28, 26.—
    11.
    After contra, otherwise... than, not so... as:

    contra faciunt, quam professi sunt,

    Cic. Leg. 2, 5, 11.— So after secus:

    ne me secus honore honestes quam ego te,

    Plaut. Capt. 2, 1, 50. —

    saepe supra feret, quam fieri possit,

    more than, Cic. Or. 40, 139.—
    15.
    After ultra:

    ultra, quam satis est, producitur,

    farther than, Cic. Inv. 1, 18, 26.—
    16.
    After diversum, otherwise than:

    pransus quoque atque potus diversum valent quam indicant,

    something altogether different from what, Quint. 1, 4, 29; cf., after advorsum, only Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 139 Brix ad loc.—
    17.
    After words denoting number or quantity, which serve for comparison: dimidium tributi quam quod regibus ferre soliti erant, populo Romano pendere, the half of what, half as much as, Liv. 45, 18:

    multiplex, quam pro numero, damnum est,

    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:

    postero die quam illa erant acta,

    id. de Or. 2, 3, 12:

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

    id. ib. 2, 5, 21. —
    18.
    After the sup.:

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

    the most cruel that ever was, Liv. 34, 32.—
    19.
    So with rel. and sup. after tam:

    tam gratum mihi id erit, quam quod gratissimum,

    tam sum amicus rei publicae quam qui maxime,

    id. ib. 5, 2, 6:

    ego sum tam mitis, quam qui lenissimus,

    id. Sull. 31, 87.—
    20.
    Sometimes with magis or potius to be supplied, more... than:

    tacita mulier semper, quam loquens,

    Plaut. Rud. 4, 4, 70 dub.:

    pacem quam bellum probabam,
