LL Ch. 28

Post by wongallo »

Can someone help me with this?

Ille curavit ut nos e tempestate servaremur neve mergeremur-- vel potius nos ipsi qui merces eiecimus.

he took care so we would be saved or not drown in the storm-- or ... something to do with throwing out merchandise.

what is potius?

thanks

Potius (from potior, potis) is a (comparative) adverb which means rather.
