Aut victoria aut bello, i.e. either received their submission after the victory, or involved them in the calamities of war. Aut aut generally adversative==either or on the contrary.

But, then again, what reliance could be placed upon anonymous information information which, after all, was but limited and obscure? Yet it was evident that the writer a female beyond question whoever she was, must be perfectly conversant with his motives and his objects. And if in volunteering him directions how to proceed, she had any purpose adversative to his, her note was without meaning.
The common view that nondum was avoided because it would have implied that Cato expected to lose the canorum is certainly wrong. ET VIDETIS: 'though you see my years'. The adversative use of et for autem or tamen after the negative is not very uncommon in Cicero, but there are few examples of the usage in the speeches. Cf.
Rather it is marked by the balancing of phrases or of ideas, so that it runs in couplets or in triplets throughout. In the Psalms there is always a balance of clauses. They are sometimes adversative; sometimes they are simply cumulative. Each presents a parallel or a contrast of ideas. That is the characteristic mark of Hebrew poetry.

The next is the evil of subletting, by which property becomes overloaded with human beings, who, for the most part, are bound by no ties whatsoever to the owner of the soil. He is not their landlord, nor are they his tenants; and so far from their interests being in any way reciprocal, they are actually adversative.
The great basis of his character, in fact, was a selfishness, which kept him perpetually indifferent to anything that was good or generous in itself, or outside the circle of his own interests, beyond which he never passed. Now, nothing, on the other hand, could be more adversative to this, than the conduct, temper, and principles of his brother and sister.
