• oft, often:
      1. 1. saepe: pass. The compar. saepius is oft. used with quasi-positive sense: it needs to be o. (again and again) repeated, saepius est dicendum, Cic. Am. 22, 85: Virg. Often strengthened, saepenumero (oftentimes): Caes. B. G. 1, 33: Cic. Very often, persaepe, Cic. (N.B.--Saepenumero, like saepius, lays more stress on the thing mentioned: cf. Cic. Sen. 2, init., saepenumero admirari soleo, oftentimes, or again and again have I, etc.)
      2. 2. crēbro (frequently; in close succession: whereas saepe denotes simply many times). v. frequently (where the use of frequens, frequenter, etc., is explained).
      3. 3. complūries (a good many times infreq.): Cato in Gell. 5, 21, extr.: Pl.
      4. 4. how often, so often, quŏties, tŏties (neither necessarily implying any large number of times): how o. did night overtake him ..., quoties illum nox oppressit ..., Cic. Sen. 14, 49: as o. as, toties ... quoties, id. Fam. 7, 7: Liv.: Virg. Hence, how o. soever, as o. as ever quotiescunque; foll. by toties as correl. Cic. Clu. 18, 51. Pretty o., aliquoties: Cic. Leg. 2, 4, 9: Liv. (N.B.--Sometimes expr. by frequent. verb: to cry out o., again and again, clamito; to write o., scriptito: etc. See the several verbs.)

• OFT, OFTEN, OFTTIMES
saepe, saepe numero (often; opposed to semel, nonnunquam, semper, like πολλάκις): crebro, frequenter (opposed to raro: crebro often, and in quick succession, and rather too often; frequenter of a subject or agent): compluries (several times; not pluries, which is only a conjecture, Caes., B.C., 1, 79): multum (much, many times): non raro (not seldom). [Multoties is very late.] Also by the adjective frequens when a person is the agent, but not when a thing is spoken of (hence ille frequens est nobiscum; illi frequentes Antonii domum ventitant; frequens aderat in senatu; ☞ but not haec sententia veteribus frequens commemoratur). Also by solere and frequentative verbs; e.g., I often do this, soleo aliquid facere: to read often, lectitare: to visit often, frequentare: more often, saepius, crebrius: very often, persaepe, saepissime: too often, nimium saepe: saepius justo: how often, quam saepe; quoties: so often, tam saepe; toties: as often as, quoties; quotiescumque.
