- at another time; sometimes
Meaning
The adverb organizes alternation: Apollo moves at another time to a different musical register (XXXIV.18), and Meilinoe is at one time manifest, at another dark (LXXI.8). It does not give a fixed schedule. Its importance is the changing relation between successive conditions or appearances.
