dies fere nullus est, quin hic Satyrus domum meam ventitet,

hardly a day passes that he does not come, id. Att. 1, 1, 3.—

That not, as if not, as though not:

non quin ipse dissentiam, sed quod,

not but that, Cic. Fam. 4, 7, 1: non quin breviter reddi responsum potuerit, Liv 2, 15. —

For corroboration.

But, indeed, really, verily, of a truth:

Hercle quin tu recte dicis,

Plaut. Merc. 2, 3, 77: credo;

neque id injuria: quin Mihi molestum est,

Ter. Heaut. 3, 3, 20:

te nec hortor, nec rogo, ut domum redeas, quin hinc ipse evolare cupio,

Cic. Fam. 7, 30, 1.— Esp. in reaching a climax or adding a stronger assertion or proof: quin etiam, yea indeed, nay even:

In corrections, nay, rather:

non potest dici satis quantum in illo sceleris fuerit, Quin sic attendite, judices, etc.,

Cic. Mil. 29, 78 sq. (cf. Halm ad loc., and Lorenz ad Plaut. Most. 164).

A rhetorical figure mentioned by Cicero, of the nature of which Quintilian was ignorant, Cic. de Or. 3, 54, 207; Quint. 9, 3, 97: epanaphora est relatio; quotiens per singula membra eadem pars orationis repetitur, hoc modo: Verres calumniatores apponebat, Verres de causā cognoscebat;

Verres pronunciabat?
