ALIUS,  other,  another.  Virtus  habet  plures  partes,  quarum  alia
est  ad  laudationem  aptior.  Cic.  Alius  also  signifies  different.  Lux
longe  alia  est  solis  et  lychnorum.  Cic.  Alius  is  said  of  three,  four,
or  more  objects;  instead  of  which  ALTER  is  only  said  of  two.  Cum
is  unum  jam  diem  et  alterum  desideraretur.  Cic.  Ad  Brutum  nos-
trum hos  libros  alteros  mittamus.  Id.  A  second  sending  of  books  is
here  mentioned.  Cicero  however  has  made  use  of  alter  to  express  the
third.  Joves  tresnumerant  ii  qui  theologi  vocantur,  ex  quibus  pri-
mum  et  secundum  natos  in  Arcadia,  alterum  patre  ^Ethere.  Alter
is  very  properly  used  to  express'  the  second.  Qui  turn  regnabat  alter
post  Alexandriam  conditam.  Cic.  Alter  denotes  also  likeness.  Ad

omnia  me  alterum  se  for^  dixit.  Cic.
