quia nihil admodum super vite aut arbore colenda sciret,
Gell. 19, 12. —
D.
In emphatic affirmative or corroborative answers, = maxime (Gr. panu ge), exactly, just so, quite so, certainly, yes (freq. in Plaut., only twice in Ter.); cf. the remark of Cic.: scis solere, frater, in hujusmodi sermone, ut transiri alio possit, dici Admodum aut Prorsus ita est, Leg. 3, 11, 26: nempe tu hanc dicis, quam esse aiebas dudum popularem meam.

Ps. 4, 7, 54: Advenis modo? Pa. Admodum, Yes, Ter. Hec. 3, 5, 8; id. Phorm. 2, 2, 1.
► Admodum with an adj.
may have the same force as in II., in:
quandam formam ingenii, sed admodum impolitam et plane rudem,
absolutely without polish and altogether rude, Cic. Brut. 85, 294, compared with:
(oratorem) plane perfectum et cui nihil admodum desit,
id. ib. 9, 35, where the same adverbs occur.
