then
At that time, tunc (opposed to nunc, when an event took place at the same time with another); tum (opposed to jam, after another thing had happened): illo or eo tempore, illa or ea aetate (general term, at that time): ☞ tum and tunc temporis belong to later writers, especially to Justinus, and ought to be avoided. Then at length; then first, tum demum; tum denique: now and then, interdum (opposed to semper): nonnumquam (opposed to numquam): aliquando (at times; at one or another time).
Emphatic in argument, after enumerations, deinde (Vid: Turs., 2, 248, 5, ext. 1).
Therefore, igitur: itaque: quare, etc. [Vid: THEREFORE].
Thereupon, Vid.
