ten times,

id. de Or. 1, 20, 90.—With a subordinate que or atque:

nam et semper me coluit diligentissimeque observavit et a studiis nostris non abhorret,

Cic. Fam. 13, 22;

with atque,

id. de Or. 1, 21, 95.—Et... que are sometimes used for et... et (rarely in Cic.;

ego vero et exspectabo ea quae polliceris neque exigam, nisi tuo commodo,

Cic. Brut. 4 fin.:

ego si et Silius is fuerit, quem tu putas nec Drusus facilem se praebuerit, Damasippum velim aggrediare,

id. Att. 12, 33:

cui quidem ita sunt Stoici assensi, ut et, quicquid honestum esset, id utile esse censerent, nec utile quicquam, quod non honestum,

id. Off. 3, 3, 11: pueris nobis Cn. Aufidius praetorius et in senatu sententiam dicebat nec amicis deliberantibus deerat et Graecam scribebat historiam et videbat in litteris, id. Tusc. 5, 38 fin.:

quia et consul aberat... nec, etc.,

Liv. 22, 8 et saep.:

nec miror et gaudeo,

Cic. Fam. 10, 1 fin.:

nam nec in eo jus cognationis servavit, cui ademit regnum, et eum, cui dedit, etc.,

Just. 8, 6 fin.:

id et nobis erit perjucundum et tibi non sane devium,

Cic. Att. 2, 4 fin.:

locus is melior, quem et non coquit sol et tangit ros,

Varr. R. R. 3, 14.—

Rarely neque... et = non quidem... sed: amicitias neque facile admisit et constantissime retinuit,

Suet. Aug. 66.—

Less freq., tum... et, et... tum, in the same sense:

omnis ejus oratio tum in virtute laudanda et in hominibus ad virtutis studium cohortandis consumebatur,

Cic. Ac. 1, 4, 16:

et in ceteris eloquentiae partibus, tum maxime in celeritate et continuatione verborum adhaerescens, etc.,

id. Brut. 93, 320. See Hand Turs. II. pp. 467-540.
