adde furorem animi proprium atque oblivia rerum, adde quod in nigras lethargi mergitur undas,

addito ut luna infra terram sit,

Plin. 15, 17, 18, § 62 (cf.:

adjuncto ut... haberentur,

Cic. Off. 2, 12).— Hence, addĭtus, a, um, P. a. (addo I.), joined to one as a constant observer; so,

Watching or observing in a hostile or troublesome manner: si mihi non praetor siet additus atque agitet me, Lucil. ap. Macr. Sat. 6, 4.—Hence, in gen.,

Pursuing one incessantly, persecuting:

nec Teucris addita Juno Usquam aberit,

Adv., found only in the transf. comp. signif. (v. infra, II. B. 3.) in connection with quam and ut: pro quam and pro ut (the latter usually written in one word, prout), like prae quam and prae ut.

Pro quam, in proportion as, just as:

nec satis est, pro quam largos exaestuat aestus,

Lucr. 2, 1137. —
