Notice in this passage an example of the ablative of comparison in line 2: "...ponderosior allis partibus.." (heavier than the other parts). The word "than" must be used in english to show the comparison. This may be rendered in Latin by quam, but in an ablative of comparison construction, the ablative case used with a comparative adjective has the same effect, and "than" is understood.
