Extract

In Professor W. B. Anderson's interesting paper on this subject (C.Q. Vol. X. No. 4) there seems a certain hesitation about the treatment of Lucan's famous

et quantum mihi restat ad Culicem ? (Sueton. Vita Lucani).

The following passages may be cited as fixing the sense of this rather rare idiom:

1…crebro querens incolumi filio adiutorem imperii alium uocari. Et quantum superesse ut collega dicatur ? (Tac.Ann. IV. 7),

i.e. from adiutor to collega is ‘a mere step.’
