[pronom. stem ki, and compar. ending; cf. heteros], the other, that which exists besides, can be added to what is already named of a like kind with it; the other part (while reliquus is that which yet remains of an object, the rest;

e. g. stipendium pendere et cetera indigna pati,

and endured other indignities of the kind, Liv. 21, 20, 6. On the other hand:

Cic. N. D. 2, 10, 27; cf. Hand, Turs. II. p. 33; Doed. Syn. 1, p. 83. Still these ideas, esp. after the Aug. per., are often confounded, and the Engl., the remainder, the rest, and the adverb. phrase for the rest, etc., can be used interchangeably for both words).

elocuta sum convivas, ceterum cura tu,

Et cetera ceteraque or cetera, and so forth, kai ta hexês, when one refers to a well-known object with only a few words, or mentions only a few from a great number of objects, Cic. de Or. 2, 32, 141:

Hence, the advv.,

cē-tĕrum (orig. acc. respectiv.), lit. that which relates to the other, the rest (besides what has been mentioned).

For the rest, in other respects, otherwise (in good prose):

nihil, nisi ut ametis impero: Ceterum quantum lubet me poscitote aurum, ego dabo,

Plaut. Bacch. 4, 4, 52: tu aurum rogato: ceterum ( for the rest, in respect to the rest) verbum sat est, id. ib. 4, 8, 37: precator, qui mihi sic oret: nunc amitte quaeso hunc;

ceterum Posthac si quicquam, nil precor,

Ter. Phorm. 1, 2, 91:

ego me in Cumano et Pompeiano, praeterquam quod sine te, ceterum satis commode oblectabam,

Cic. Q. Fr. 2, 12 (14), 1:

foedera alia aliis legibus, ceterum eodem modo omnia fiunt,

Liv. 1, 24, 3; cf. Sall. J. 2, 4; 75, 3; Nep. Eum. 8, 5; Curt. 4, 1, 18.—Rarely after the verb: argentum accepi;

nil curavi ceterum,

Plaut. Capt. 5, 3, 12: numquid me vis ceterum? id. Ep. 4, 2, 76.—

= alioquin, introducing a conclusion contrary to fact (mostly post-class.), otherwise, else, in the opposite event, = Gr. allôs: non enim cogitaras;

ceterum Idem hoc melius invenisses,
