adv. and not, ovre, ovSe, prjfic. Cic.

tum. Id. Neque caritas patris, nec

much — as, not — but. Juv. I. 90. 
_ This repeated nec is often preced¬ 
ed by a negative, as nullus, nihil, non, 
Sec. which does not, however, destroy

quent in Nepos and Sueton. So, also, 
Tacit. Agr. 8. Nec, for nec tamen. —-Al¬ 
so, Nec,/or nec enim. Plant. Capt. 3,5.
