      Adverb

      modō̆

      1. just, only, merely, simply
        Synonyms: tantum, sōlum
        Tunc, (ille) modo edere volēbat. ― At that time, he wanted only to eat.
        Semel modo nōn satis.
        Only one time is not enough.
        • c. 52 BCE, Julius Caesar, Commentarii de bello Gallico 4.25:
          Nam et nāvium figūrā et rēmōrum mōtū et inūsitātō genere tormentōrum permōtī barbarī cōnstitērunt āc paulum modo pedem rettulērunt.
          Because the appearance of the ships, the motion of the oars, and the unusual type of artillery had startled the barbarians, they halted and stepped back just a little.
          (Idiomatic phrase: the adverb modo + paulum, an adverbial accusative of extent, indicates the small distance of retreat.)

          (In other words, opening one scroll after another, never reading a single author in-depth.)
