id. 4, 57, 8 Drak.; cf.:
ut qui per haec vicit, tantum non defuisse sibi advocatum sciat,
Quint. 6, 2, 4.—

tantum alone = tantum quod,
Verg. E. 6, 16. —
c.
Tantum quod non, only that not, nothing is wanting but:
tantum quod hominem non nominat: causam quidem totam perscribit,
Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 45, § 116.
