“much less” in Latin

multo minus: nedum (sometimes with ut; e.g., at the best times they could not endure the tribunitial power, much less in these, with these customs, etc., optimis temporibus non potuerunt vim tribuniciam sustinere, nedum his temporibus, his moribus, etc.: a satrap could never bear his expense, much less could you, satrapa nunquam ejus sumtus efficere queat, nedum (ut) tu possis; sometimes ne is used for nedum, with a conjunctive following; Vid :, Cic., ad Div., 9, 26, 2; Sall., Cat., 11, 8, Fabri; Liv., 3, 52, 9, Gronov.): to give nothing to a friend, much less to an enemy, nihil amico, multo minus alicui inimico aliquid donare. For “not... much less,” we may use circumlocution with non modo non, or (if both propositions have a common verb) simply non modo... sed ne quidem; e.g., such a man will not dare to think, much less to do a wrong thing, talis vir non modo facere sed ne cogitare quidem quidquam audebit, quod non honestum sit (☞ Zumpt, § 724). Or we may say tantum abest ut in either of the following forms: Demosthenes himself does not please me, much less can I admire my own writings, tantum abest, ut nostra miremur, ut nobis non satisfaciat Demosthenes; or, scarcely could we resist sleep, much less could you, excite us, tantum abfuit ut inflammares nostros animos, somnum vix tenebamus.
