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).

Caes. B. G. 3, 5; 4, 37:

pugnatum amplius duabus horis est,

Liv. 27, 12:

neque triennio amplius supervixit,

Suet. Caes. 89:

Caes. B. G. 1, 15; 1, 23; 2, 7;

6, 29: non amplius patet milibus quinque et triginta,

Plin. Ep. 10, 90, 1:

id. ib. 14, 32:

insidiantur ei ex iis viri amplius quam quadraginta,

Vulg. Act. 23, 21.—

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).

hoc amplius si quid poteris,

any thing beyond this, Cic. de Or. 1, 10, 44: et hoc amplius (additur), quod etc., and this further, that etc., id. Sull. 44; so Quint. 5, 13, 36:

id. Marcell. 17.—Hence, nihil dico or dicam amplius, when one fears to wound by declaring his opinion, etc., I say no more, have nothing further to say or add:

vetus est, Nihili cocio est. Scis cujus? non dico amplius,

Plaut. As. 1, 3, 51:

si, quod equitis Romani filius est, inferior esse debuit: omnes tecum equitum Romanorum filii petiverunt. Nihil dico amplius,

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.

ălĭōquī (Corssen, Ausspr. II. p. 839, questions the MS. authority for the forms ălĭ-ōquin and cĕtĕrōquin, but if they are genuine, he believes they have the prep. in affixed, as in deoin), adv. (prop. abl. alioqui, i. e. alio quo modo, in some other way; used in the ante-Aug. per. only once in Lucr.; but freq. after that per., esp. by the histt., and by Pliny the younger).

Lit., to indicate that something has its existence or right in all but the exception given, in other respects, for the rest, otherwise; Gr. allôs, often with adj. standing either before or after it:

milites tantum, qui sequerentur currum, defuerunt: alioqui magnificus triumphus fuit,

Liv. 37, 46 Madv.;

8, 9: Hannibal tumulum tutum commodumque alioqui, nisi quod longinquae aquationis erat, cepit,

id. 30, 29, 10:

atqui si vitiis mediocribus ac mea paucis Mendosa est natura, alioquin recta,

Hor. S. 1, 6, 66 K. and H.:

solitus alioquin id temporis luxus principis intendere,

Tac. A. 13, 20 Halm; so id. ib. 4, 37; Curt. 7, 4, 8; 8, 2, 2.—Sometimes concessive, hence also with quamquam, quamvis, cum, as for the rest, besides: triumphatum de Tiburtibus: alioqui mitis victoria fuit, i. e. although in other respects the victory was, etc., Liv. 7, 19: at si tantula pars oculi media illa peresa est, Incolumis quamvis alioqui splendidus orbis ( al though in other respects uninjured and clear) occidit extemplo lumen, Lucr. 3, 414 (Lachmann rejected this line; Munro receives it and reads alioquoi):

ideo nondum eum legi, cum alioqui validissime cupiam,

Plin. Ep. 9, 35 Keil; so Plin. 10, 69, 93, § 198.—

Transf.

To indicate that something exists, avails, or has influence in other cases beside those mentioned, yet, besides, moreover (syn.:

porro, praeterea): sed haec quidem alioquin memoria magni professoris, uti interponeremus, effecit,

Cels. 8, 4:

ne pugnemus igitur, cum praesertim plurimis alioqui Graecis sit utendum,

very many other Greek words besides, Quint. 2, 14, 4 Halm:

non tenuit iram Alexander, cujus alioqui potens non erat,

of which he had not the control at other times, Curt. 4, 2, 6; Tac. H. 3, 32:

quā occasione Caesar, validus alioquin spernendis honoribus hujuscemodi orationem coepit,

id. A. 4, 37.—So in questions, Quint. 4, 5, 3.—Also et alioqui in Pliny: afficior curā; et alioqui meus pudor, mea dignitas in discrimen adducitur, Plin Ep. 2, 9, 1; so id. ib. 10, 42, 2; id. Pan. 45, 4; 68, 7; 7, 9.—And in copulative clauses with et... et, cum... tum, etc., both in general (or in other respects)... and:

et alioqui opportune situm, et transitus eā est in Labeates,

Liv. 43, 19:

mors Marcelli cum alioqui miserabilis fuit, tum quod, etc.,

id. 27, 27, 11; so Quint. 5, 6, 4; 12, 10, 63.—

To indicate that something is in itself situated so and so, or avails in a certain manner, in itself, even in itself, himself, etc.: corpus, quod illa (Phryne) speciosissima alioqui ( in herself even most beautiful) diductā nudaverat tunicā, Quint. 2, 15, 9 Spald.; 10, 3, 13; 2, 1, 4.—

Ellipt. like the Gr. allôs, and commonly placed at the beginning of a clause, to indicate that something must happen, if the previous assertion or assumption shall not be (which fact is not [p. 86] expressed), otherwise, else (cf. aliter, b. g):

vidistine aliquando Clitumnum fontem? si nondum (et puto nondum: alioqui narrāsses mihi),

Plin. Ep. 8, 8; 1, 20: Nec, si pugnent inter se, qui idem didicerunt, idcirco ars, quae utrique tradita est, non erit;

alioqui nec armorum, etc.,

Quint. 2, 17, 33; so id. 4, 2, 23:

non inornata debet esse brevitas, alioqui sit indocta,

id. 4, 2, 46:

Da mihi liberos, alioquin moriar,

Vulg. Gen. 30, 1; ib. Matt. 6, 1; ib. Heb. 9, 17:

languescet alioqui industria, si nullus ex se metus aut spes,

Tac. A. 2, 38.—

(Eccl. Lat.) As an advers. conj., but (cf. ceterum and the Gr. alla):

alioquin mitte manum tuam et tange os ejus et carnem,

Vulg. Job, 2, 5. Cf. Hand, Turs. I. pp. 234-241.
