   • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita.15:

     Ac iam illa omittō — neque enim sunt aut obscūra aut nōn multa commissa posteā: quotiēns tū mē dēsignātum, quotiēns cōnsulem interficere cōnātus es!

     And now I omit those [other crimes] — and not because they are either hidden, or not as many were committed afterward: how many times [you tried to kill] me as consul-elect, how often you tried to kill me as consul!

2. (comparatively, with totiēns) as often, as often as, as many times as, whenever
   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.351–353:

     “Mē patris Anchīsae, quotiēns ūmentibus umbrīs
     nox operit terrās, quotiēns astra ignea surgunt,
     admonet in somnīs et turbida terret imāgō.”

     “[I think] of my father Anchises, whenever dank shades of night shroud the lands, as often as fiery stars arise, he admonishes me in my dreams, and his troubled phantom frightens me.”
