more quickly
| Morphological Notes | Adverb; comparative degree formed from ταχύς with suffix -ιον; neuter singular form functioning adverbially. |
| Rendering Rationale | As the comparative form of ταχύς used adverbially, it denotes a higher degree of swiftness. "More quickly" preserves the comparative force and reflects its function as an adverb modifying action. |
