The Adverb replaces the Adjective also in various phrases of a Greek type, but probably not Graecisms (I. 3), e.g.

Pers. 385 “non tu nunc hominum mores vides?”,
Poen. 725 “rem advorsus populi saepe leges”,
Mil. 472 “mulierem hinc ex proxumo”,
Ennius trag. 55 V. “ubi illa paulo ante sapiens virginalis modestia?”

They may be compared with phrases like adulescens de genere summo (Rud. 1197, etc.), sine virtute argutum civem (Truc. 495). (On Bacch. 705 “sed nunc quantillum usust auri tibi?” see II. 56）
