      1. 1. expr. by p. part. of excipio (in making a formal exception): e. one or at most two, excepto uno aut ad summum altero, Cic.: sometimes with clause: e. that you were not with me, excepto quod non simul esses, Hor. Ep. 1, 10, 50 (where Cic. would probably have written praeterquam quod, cf. Q. Fr. 2, 14, ad init.).
      2. 2. praeter (prep[. --F1] with acc.; also used adverbially in some writers: chiefly after a negative, whereas exceptus is more common in positive sentences): no one e. Lucullus, nemo p. Lucullum, Cic.: to be condemned by all the votes e. one, omnibus sententiis praeter unam condemnari, Cic. Clu. 20, 55: (to all) e. to those condemned for capital crimes, pr. rerum capitalium condemnatis, Sall. Cat. 36 (where Cic. would doubtless have said praeterquam: cf. Fam. 3, 7. init.: "nullas iis praeterquam ad te et ad Brutum dedi literas").
      3. 3. extra (with acc.: much less freq. than praeter): e. the general and a few others, the rest ..., e. ducem paucosque praeterea, reliqui ..., Cic. Fam. 7, 3, ad init.: Ter. (Extra quam si, except in the case of, was specially used in legal formulae, treaties, etc.: cf. Cic. Inv. 1, 33, 55: Liv. 26, 34, med.)
      4. 4. nĭsi (only after a negative): that, e. in the good, friendship can have no existence, nisi in bonis amicitiam esse non posse, Cic. Often foll. by quod (= except that): (my estates) greatly charm me, e. that ..., valde me delectant, nisi quod ..., Cic. Att. 2, 1, 9: rightly; e. only in this respect, nisi quod ... ceteroquin recte, Cic. Or. 25, 83: if a wish or purpose be indicated, nisi ut must be used: do you imagine I care for anything, e. not to be deficient in my duty to him, quidquamne putas me curare, nisi ut ei ne desim? Cic. Att. 13, 20. (N.B. For nonnisi, v. only.)
      5. 5. expr. by discēdo, ssi, ssum, 3, with quum (of something which only ranks below what is excepted): e. only the love of my brother and my family, I yield the first place in affection to you, amoris, quum a fraterno domesticoque discessi, primas tibi defero, Cic. Att. 1, 17, med.: in this constr. quum more freq. takes subj.: cf. Cic. Off. 2, 2, 6.
