quĕ (lengthened in arsis by the poets, like the Gr. τε:
* Faunique Satyrique,Ov. M. 1, 193; 4, 10; 5, 484; Verg. A. 3, 91 al.), conj. enclitic [kindr. with Gr. τε, κε, and Sanscr. ca, the same], a copulative particle affixed to the word it annexes. According to Dräger (Hist. Synt. Th. 3, p. 32), it is, in archaic and official language, preferred to et, from which it is distinguished by denoting a closer connection. It is used
* Singly, to effect
* Co-ordination of words
* Connecting final member of a clause: fauste, feliciter, prospereque,Cic. Mur. 1, 1 fin.: ab honore, famā fortunisque,id. ib. 1, 1 fin.: pacem, tranquillitatem, otium concordiamque afferat,id. ib. 1, 1.
* In transition to a new subject or thought: quoniamque ea natura esset hominis,Cic. Fin. 3, 20, 67: discriptioque sacerdotum nullum justae religionis genus praetermittit,id. Leg. 2, 12, 30; v. Madv. ad. Cic. Fin. 3, 22, 73.
* Repeated, que . . . que.
* Introducing an explanatory clause, and so (Liv.): fretusque his animis Aeneas,Liv. 1, 2: Sabinusque,id. 1, 45.
* More than twice.
* Equivalent to quoque only in hodieque (not before Velleius): quae hodieque appellatur Ionia,Vell. 1, 4, 3: quae hodieque celebres sunt,id. 2, 8, 3: in Abydi gymnasio colitur hodieque,Plin. 2, 58, 59, § 150: et hodieque reliquiae durant,id. 8, 45, 70, § 176: sunt clari hodieque,Quint. 10, 1, 94.
* Followed by other conjunctions.
* Similar notions: quasque incepistis res, quasque inceptabitis,Plaut. Am. prol. 7: risusque jocosque,Hor. S. 1, 5, 98.
* Following a conjunction, et ... que: paratissimi et ab exercitu reliquisque rebus, Brut. ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 13, a, 5: id et singulis universisque honori fuisse,Liv. 4, 2 (Weissenb. et id); occasionally in Cic. (through negligence, acc. to Madvig): igitur et Epaminondas ... Themistoclesque,Cic. Tusc. 1, 2, 4: officia et servata praetermissaque,id. Ac. 1, 10, 37.
* Que nearly equivalent to autem, sed ..., but (not in Caes.): studio ad rempublicam latus sum ibique multa mihi advorsa fuere,but there,Sall. C. 3, 3.—Mostly after a negative: Socrates nec patronum quaesivit nec judicibus supplex fuit, adhibuitque liberam contumaciam,Cic. Tusc. 1, 29, 71; id. Cat. 2, 13, 28 fin.: qui non temere movendam rem tantam expectandosque ex Hispaniā legatos censerent,Liv. 21, 6, 7: quae neque dant flammas lenique vapore cremantur,Ov. M. 2, 811.
* Que is usually appended to the first word of the phrase, but to a noun rather than to a monosyllabic preposition governing it, unless the preposition is repeated: de provinciāque,Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 20, § 48: per vimque,id. Phil. 5, 4, 10; cf.: ab iisque,id. Tusc. 5, 33, 94: sub occasumque solis,Caes. B. G. 2, 11.— Exceptions are to be found, especially in Liv.: proque ignoto,Plaut. Capt. 3, 4, 10: exque eo tempore,Cic. Off. 2, 23, 80; 1, 34, 122: inque eam rem,id. Rosc. Am. 39, 114: inque eo exercitu,id. Sest. 18, 41: inque eam rem,Caes. B. G. 5, 36; Liv. 10, 37, 15; 40, 57, 5; Tac. A. 15, 45: cumque eis,Sall. C. 6, 1: proque,Liv. 4, 26, 9; 6, 26, 5; 30, 18, 2: deque praedā,id. 23, 11, 3: perque,id. 1, 49, 5; 3, 6, 7; 5, 36, 7: transque,id. 22, 41, 7: aque,Ov. Am. 2, 14, 30: eque,Verg. E. 7, 13; Val. Max. 1, 5, 3: exque eo,Cels. 7, 27: perque somnum,id. 2, 5.—And where the same preposition is repeated que is regularly joined to it: haec de se, deque provinciā,Liv. 26, 28, 3; 22, 59, 16; 29, 23, 10; 31, 5, 4; 38, 35, 7: de matrimonio Agrippinae, deque Neronis adoptione,Suet. Claud. 43 init.: per senectutem tuam, perque eam, quam, etc.,Plaut. As. 1, 1, 3. — Where the preposition is dissyllabic it regularly takes the que: interque eos,Liv. 2, 20, 8; 5, 49, 7: sine scutis sineque ferro,Cic. Caecin. 23, 64. — It is rarely annexed to the second word of the clause, when the first word is an adverb: tantos tam praecipitisque casus,Cic. de Or. 3, 4, 13: tanto tam immensoque campo,id. ib. 3, 31, 124 al.—In class. Latin que is not appended to hic, sic, nunc, huc, etc. (v. Madv. ad. Cic. Fin. 5, 14, 40): hucque et illuc,Tac. A. 13, 37; 15, 38: tuncque id. ib. 6, 7 (1); 14, 15.—Que is often misplaced by the poets, especially by Tibullus and Propertius in the latter part of the pentameter: Messallam terrā dum sequiturque mari,Tib. 1, 3, 56: ferratam Danaes transiliamque domum,Prop. 2, 16, 11.
* Four times, Sil. 2, 444; five times,Verg. G. 3, 344; seven times,Ov. M. 9, 691.
* Que ... et (not in Cic., Caes., Suet., or Nep.): peregrique et domi,Plaut. Am. prol. 5: deus, qui quae nos gerimus auditque et videt,id. Capt. 2, 2, 63: seque et oppidum tradat,Sall. J. 26, 1: illosque et Sullam,id. ib. 104, 1: signaque et ordines,Liv. 2, 59; 1, 43, 2 Weissenb. ad loc.: legatique et tribuni,id. 29, 22: in formulam jurisque et dicionis,id. 26, 24: omnes gentesque et terrae,id. 21, 30, 2 (v. Fabri ad loc.): Arpinique et Romani,id. 24, 47: seque et arma,Curt. 8, 4, 15: seque et delatores,Tac. Agr. 42.
* Que ... et ... et: Romanique et Macedones et socii,Liv. 44, 29: seque et arma et equos,Tac. Agr. 18: seque et domum et pacem,id. A. 1, 4; 12, 37.
