- to measure
- to compare
- late 9th century, King Alfred's translation of Saint Augustine's Soliloquies
- Lōca nu þæt þū ofergemet ne wilnige, nū ðū hī tōgædere metest. Woldest þū cunnan God swā swā Alipius?
- Look to it now that thy desire be not beyond measure, now that thou comparest them together. Wouldst thou know God just as thou dost Alypius?
- late 9th century, King Alfred's translation of Saint Augustine's Soliloquies
- to compare (to something = wiþ + accusative or tō + dative)

Usage notes
[edit]- For the phrase “compared to,” wiþ is used by itself (Hū earfoþe is Crēċisċ wiþ Lǣden? = “How hard is Greek compared to Latin?”), or with the phrase tō metenne (Hwæt eart þū wiþ mē tō metenne? = “What are you compared to me?”, literally “to compare with me”).
