[*] 327. A general negation is not destroyed—

By a following nē ... quidem, not even, or nōn modo, not only:—

numquam tūnōn modo ōtium, sed nē bellumquidem nisi nefārium concupīstī; (Cat. 1.25), not only have you never desired repose, but you have never desired any war except one which was infamous.

By succeeding negatives each introducing a separate subordinate member:—

“eaque nesciēbant nec ubi nec quālia essent ” (Tusc. 3.4) , they knew not where or of what kind these things were.

By neque introducing a coördinate member:—

“nequeō satis mīrārīneque conicere ” (Ter. Eun. 547) , I cannot wonder enough nor conjecture.

Ginn and Company, 1903.
