A. 1, 565: [[adeo]] senuerunt [[Juppiter]] et [[Mars]]? Juv. 6, 59.—Hence ([[post]]-Cic.): [[adeo]] non ut ... [[adeo]] [[nihil]] ut ... so [[little]] [[that]], so [[far]] from [[that]] ... (in [[reference]] to [[which]], it should be noticed [[that]] in Latin the [[negative]] is [[blended]] [[with]] the [[verb]] in one [[idea]], [[which]] is [[qualified]] by [[adeo]]) = [[tantum]] abest ut: haec dicta [[adeo]] [[nihil]] moverunt quemquam, ut legati [[prope]] violati sint, these words [[left]] [[them]] all so [[unmoved]] [[that]], etc., or had so [[little]] [[effect]], etc., Liv. 3, 2, 7: qui [[adeo]] non tenuit iram, ut gladio [[cinctum]] in senatum venturum se esse [[palam]] diceret, [[who]] restrained his [[anger]] so [[little]] [[that]], etc. (for, qui non—tenuit iram [[adeo]], ut), id. 8, 7, 5; so 5, 45, 4; Vell. 2, 66, 4: Curt. 3, 12, 22.—Also [[with]] [[contra]] in the [[concluding]] [[clause]]: [[apud]] hostes [[Afri]] et Carthaginienses [[adeo]] non sustinebant, ut [[contra]] [[etiam]] pedem referrent, Liv. 30, 34, 5. —<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>B</b> Adeo is placed enclitically [[after]] its [[word]], [[like]] [[quidem]], [[certe]], and the Gr. γὲ>, [[even]], [[indeed]], [[just]], [[precisely]].

Att. 9, 16: haec [[adeo]] ex [[illo]] mihi jam speranda fuerunt, [[even]] this, Verg. A. 11, 275.—It is [[often]] to be translated by the intensive and, and [[just]], etc. (so esp. in Cic. and the histt.): id [[adeo]], si placet, [[considerate]], [[just]] [[that]] (τοῦτό γε σκοπεῖτε), Cic. Caec. 30, 87: id [[adeo]] ex ipso [[senatus]] [[consulto]] cognoscite, id. Verr. 2, 4, 64, 143; cf. id.

Am. 1, 2, 6.—Sometimes [[with]] the rel. pron.: quas [[adeo]] [[haud]] [[quisquam]] [[liber]] [[umquam]] tetigit, Plaut: Poen. 1, 2, 57; Cic. Fin. 2, 12, 37. —With interrog. pron.: Quis [[adeo]] tam [[Latinae]] linguae [[ignarus]] est, [[quin]], etc., Gell. 7, 17.—Adeo is joined [[with]] the pers. pron.
