Syntax notes1 item
  1. 5.1.69.prnon minus decem dierum

    Although the conjunction quam is omitted after the comparative minus, the following noun phrase does not take the ablative of comparison. Instead, it remains in the genitive of quality (decem dierum) modifying interuallum. This reflects the Latin idiom in which comparatives of quantity, such as plus and minus, do not affect the case of the noun phrase that follows them.
