adv.

P. and V. μᾶλλον. I had rather (with infin.): P. and V. βούλομαι μᾶλλον, or V. βούλομαι alone (Eur., And. 351). Somewhat: with adj. and adv., use comparative. Rather weak: P. and V. ἀσθενέστερος. Nay rather: P. and V. μὲν οὖν. Let someone come forward and prove to me or rather to you that I am not speaking the truth: P. παρελθών τις ἐμοί, μᾶλλον δὲ ὑμῖν δειξάτω ὡς οὐκ ἀληθῆ ταῦτʼ ἐγὼ λέγω (Dem. 20).
