[Constantinus Philo]

τοσούτῳ Σύρων κακίων ἐγένετο ὅσῳ Σύροι ...
This tosouto hoso is supposed to compare a quality and not a quality and subordinate clauses as here. So how to understand it?

[mwh]

It’s an expanded version of the ordinary “dative of measure of difference” construction (ablative in Latin). While the Syrians fled when defeated, Croesus was that much more cowardly.

[Constantinus Philo]

Yes, I got it, it's like spoken Russian.
