• WHEREAS

quoniam: quando: quandoquidem. [Vid: also SINCE] ☞ “Whereas” is often omitted, the adversative relation of the two clauses being denoted by the antithesis of the statements themselves; e.g., te enim dicere audiebamus, nos omnes adversarios putare, nisi qui nobiscum essent, te (= whereas you) omnes qui contra te non essent, esse tuos (Cic.).
