   • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita.27:

     Etenim, sī mēcum patriā, quae mihi vītā meā multō est cārior, sī cūncta Ītalia, sī omnis rēs pūblica loquātur: […] .

     And indeed, if the country — which is far more dear to me than my own life — if all Italy, if the entire Republic were to speak with me: […] .
     (More literally, an ablative degree of difference, multō, with the comparative carior: is dearer by much.)
