Adjective

honestior (comparative, neuter honestius); third declension

  1. comparative degree of honestus
    • c. 4 BCE – 65 CE, Seneca the Younger, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium 47.15:
      Quīdam cēnent tēcum quia dignī sunt, quīdam ut sint; sī quid enim in illīs ex sordidā conversātiōne servīle est, honestiōrum convictus excutiet.
      (On the subject of inviting slaves to dine with the master.) Some should dine with you because they are worthy, while some should do so in order that they may become worthy; for if there is anything slavish in them from a squalid lifestyle, the company of more honorable [people] will shake it off.
