nē-dum, conj. (lit. while not), by no means, much less, still less, not to speak of (class.), used to indicate that whereas a certain thing is not, another thing can still less be.

With a preceding negation:

satrapes si siet Amator, numquam sufferre ejus sumptus queat: Nedum tu possis,

Ter. Heaut. 3, 1, 43:

optimis temporibus nec P. Popillius, nec Q. Metellus vim tribuniciam sustinere potuerunt, nedum his temporibus sine vestrā sapientiā salvi esse possimus,

Cic. Clu. 35, 95; id. Planc. 37, 90: nulla simulacra urbibus suis, nedum templis, [p. 1197] sinunt, Tac. H. 5, 5:

ne voce quidem incommoda, nedum ut ulla vis fieret,

Liv. 3, 14 fin. —With vix or aegre in the place of the preceding negative:

vix in ipsis tectis et oppidis frigus infirmā valetudine vitatur: nedum in mari,

Cic. Fam. 16, 8, 2; id. Agr. 2, 35, 97:

puerum vixdum libertatem, nedum dominationem modice laturum,

Liv. 24, 4, 1:

et aegre inermem tantam multitudinem, nedum armatam, sustineri,

Liv. 6, 7, 3.—

Without a preceding negation, which, however, lies in the thought expressed:

erat enim multo domicilium hujus urbis aptius humanitati tuae, quam tota Peloponnesus, nedum Patrae,

Cic. Fam. 7, 28, 1:

quippe secundae res sapientium animos fatigant: nedum illi corruptis moribus victoriae temperarent,

Sall. C. 11, 8: Tac. A. 13, 20.—

Transf. (post-Aug.), affirmatively, not to say, much more:

adulationes etiam victis Macedonibus graves, nedum victoribus,

much more should they prove victors, Liv. 9, 18, 4:

Quintius, quem armorum etiam pro patriā satietas teneret, nedum adversus patriam,

id. 7, 40; 45, 29; 26, 26:

satis mihi jam videbaris animi habere, etiam adversus solida mala, nedum ad istas umbras malorum, quibus, etc.,

Sen. Ep. 99, 3; Quint. 12, 1, 39:

ornamenta etiam legioni, nedum militi, satis multa,

Val. Max. 3, 2, 26.—So, by transposition, beginning the sentence (very rare): nedum hominum humilium, sed etiam amplissimorum virorum, not to speak of, I need not say, Balb. et Opp. ap. Cic. Att. 9, 7, A, 1.
