adversārĭus, a, um, adj. [adversus].

Turned toward one or lying before one's eyes; hence, adversārĭa, ōrum (sc. scripta), in mercantile language, a book at hand in which all matters are entered temporarily as they occur, a waste-book, day-book, journal, memoranda, etc.:

Quid est quod neglegenter scribamus adversaria? quid est. quod diligenter conficiamus tabulas? Qua de causa? Quia haec sunt menstrua, illae sunt aeternae: haec delentur statim, illae servantur sancte, etc.,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 2, 5 and 7.

Standing opposite or opposed to one, as an antagonist, in any kind of contest, in which the contending parties may be the best friends, e. g. in elections, auctions, discussions, etc. (cf. Doed. Syn. 4, 395;

in gen., only of persons, while contrarius is used of things,

Front. Differ. 2198 P.).

Adj.:

tribunus seditiosis adversarius,

Cic. Clu. 34, [p. 49] 94:

vis juri adversaria,

id. Caecin. 2:

opinio oratori,

id. de Or. 2, 37:

in hostile opposition to those in power, Nep. Timoth. 3:

id. Phoc. 3:

frater,

Hor. Ep. 1, 18, 63 al. —

Subst.: adversārĭus, i, m., an antagonist, opponent, adversary, an enemy, rival (the most usual class. signif. of the word):

valentiorem nactus adversarium,

Plaut. Capt. prol. 64: injuria adversariūm, Ter. Hec. prol. alt. 14; cf. id. Ad. prol. 2:

tribuni plebis illius adversarii, defensores mei,

Cic. Mil. 15; so id. Quint. 2; id. Vatin. 1; id. Har. Resp. 16, 24; Nep. Dion. 7; Hor. S. 1, 9, 75.—Of wrestlers and other athletæ:

pugiles etiam cum feriunt adversarium... ingemiscunt,

Cic. Tusc. 2, 23, 56; also,

in auctions, of opposing bidders: res major est quam facultates nostrae praesertim adversario et cupido et locuplete,

Cic. Att. 12, 43; cf. id. ib. 13, 31.—In Cic. also in the fem.: adversārĭa, ae:

est tibi gravis adversaria constituta et parata, incredibilis quaedam exspectatio,

id. Fam. 2, 4, 2; and in the neutr. plur.: adversārĭa, ōrum, the arguments, assertions of the antagonist, Cic. Or. 35, 122.

more freq. than Cic. and Hor. use adversarius like hostis for an enemy in war:

adversarios in fuga esse,

Nep. Them. 4:

multitudo adversariorum,

id. Dat. 6:

montem occupat, ne forte cedentibus adversariis receptui foret,

Sall. J. 50; Suet. Caes. 30, 36, 68; id. Dom. 1; Curt. 3, 11; Vulg. Deut. 20, 4; Aur. Vict. Vir. Illustr. 75, 8; 69, 2; cf. advosem in Fest. p. 25 Müll.

amplus, a, um, adj. [some regard this as a shortened form of anapleôs, = filled up, full; others, as for ambulus from amb-, rounded out, as superus from super, etc.; v. Doed. Syn. II. p. 113; but perh. it is better to form it from am- and -plus, akin to -pleo, plenus, q. v. Pott], thus pr., full all round; hence, great, large. —In space, of large extent, great, large, wide, ample, spacious (the forms amplus and amplior are very rare in the ante-class. per., and rare in all periods. Amplius is com. in the ante-class., freq. in the class., and very freq. in the post-class. per., the Vulg. rarely using the other forms, but using this 121 times. Amplissimus belongs to prose, and is scarcely used before Cicero, with whom it was a very favorite word. It was also used by Plin. Maj. and Min., but never by Tac., Sall. (in his genuine works), nor the Vulg. Catullus used only the form amplius, and Prop. only amplus, while Tib. and Pers. never used this word in any form. Ampliter is found mostly in Plaut.; and ample and amplissime are used a few times by Cic. and by writers that followed him; syn.: magnus, ingens, latus, late patens, spatiosus, laxus).

Amplius, t. t. of judges when they deferred an important case for future examination:

Amplius adeo prolixum temporis spatium significat, ut judices quotienscunque significarent, adhuc se audire velle, amplius dicebant. Itaque negotium differebant, unde hodieque ampliari judicium differri dicitur,

Charis. 176 P.; so Don. ad Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 39; cf.

also amplio and ampliatio: cum consules re audita amplius de consilii sententia pronuntiavissent,

Cic. Brut. 22, 86:

antea vel judicari primo poterat vel amplius pronuntiari,

id. Verr. 2, 1, 26:

ut de Philodamo amplius pronuntiaretur,

id. ib. 2, 1, 29.—

And metaph.: ego amplius deliberandum censeo,

Ter. Phorm. 2, 4, 17.—

Amplius non petere, judicial t. phr., to bring no further action, to make no further claim:

quid ita satis non dedit, AMPLIVS [A SE] NEMINEM PETITVRVM?

Cic. Rosc. Com. 12, 35:

Tibi ego, Brute, non solvam, nisi prius a te cavero amplius eo nomine neminem, cujus petitio sit, petiturum,

id. Brut. 5, 18:

sunt duo, quae te rogo: primum, ut si quid satis dandum erit, AMPLIVS EO NOMINE NON PETI, cures etc.,

id. Fam. 13, 28 A:

quod ille recusarit satis dare amplius abs te non peti,

id. Att. 1, 8, 1.—

Hoc amplius, beside the general use given above (II. Comp. b. a), as t. phr. of senators when they approved a measure, but amended it by addition:

Servilio adsentior et HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO, magnum Pompeium fecisse etc.,

Cic. Phil. 12, 21, 50:

cui cum essem adsensus, decrevi HOC AMPLIVS, ut etc.,

id. ad Brut. 1, 5, 1;

so Seneca: fortasse et post omnes citatus nihil improbabo ex iis, quae priores decreverint, et dicam HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO, Vit. Beat. 3, 2: Quaedam ex istis sunt, quibus adsentire possumus, sed HOC AMPLIVS CENSEO,

id. Q. N. 3, 15, 1.—

To this may be added the elliptical phrases, nihil amplius and si nihil amplius:

nihil amplius, denoting that there is nothing further than has been declared: sese ipsum abs te repetit. Nihil amplius,

Cic. Verr. 5, 49, 128;

(res publica) ulta suas injurias est per vos interitu tyranni. Nihil amplius,

id. Fam. 12, 1, 2; and, si nihil amplius, marking a limit, if nothing more, at least:

excedam tectis? An, si nihil amplius, obstem?

Ov. M. 9, 148.

word more, which is sometimes an adj., sometimes a subst., and sometimes an adv., and some of the above examples would admit of different classifications; as, non amplius dicere, not to speak further (adv.) or not to say more (subst.), Plaut. As. 1, 3, 51; but some of them would admit of only one explanation;

as, ne quos amplius Rhenum transire pateretur,

Caes. B. G. 1, 43. Sup.: amplissimē.

Lit., very largely, most abundantly:

ut quibus militibus amplissime (agri) dati adsignati essent,

in the largest shares, Cic. Phil. 5, 53:

duumviri (deos) tribus quam amplissume tum apparari poterat stratis lectis placavere,

Liv. 5, 13, 6 Weissenb.—

Fig., most generously, most handsomely:

qui amplissime de salute mea decreverint,

Cic. Dom. 44:

amplissime laudare,

in the handsomest style, Plin. 18, 3, 3, § 11; Suet. Calig. 15:

honores amplissime gessit,

Cic. Verr. 2, 112:

pater cum amplissime ex praetura triumphasset,

with the greatest pomp, id. Mur. 15:

placere eum quam amplissime supremo suo die efferri,

should be carried forth with every possible solemnity, id. Phil. 9, 7, 16. V. on this word, Hand, Turs. I. pp. 287-296.

amplus, a, um, adj. [some regard this as a shortened form of anapleôs, = filled up, full; others, as for ambulus from amb-, rounded out, as superus from super, etc.; v. Doed. Syn. II. p. 113; but perh. it is better to form it from am- and -plus, akin to -pleo, plenus, q. v. Pott], thus pr., full all round; hence, great, large. —In space, of large extent, great, large, wide, ample, spacious (the forms amplus and amplior are very rare in the ante-class. per., and rare in all periods. Amplius is com. in the ante-class., freq. in the class., and very freq. in the post-class. per., the Vulg. rarely using the other forms, but using this 121 times. Amplissimus belongs to prose, and is scarcely used before Cicero, with whom it was a very favorite word. It was also used by Plin. Maj. and Min., but never by Tac., Sall. (in his genuine works), nor the Vulg. Catullus used only the form amplius, and Prop. only amplus, while Tib. and Pers. never used this word in any form. Ampliter is found mostly in Plaut.; and ample and amplissime are used a few times by Cic. and by writers that followed him; syn.: magnus, ingens, latus, late patens, spatiosus, laxus).

id. Q. N. 3, 15, 1.—

as, ne quos amplius Rhenum transire pateretur,

Caes. B. G. 1, 43. Sup.: amplissimē.
