Italian term or phrase: ad abundantiam

Okay so it's Latin, but since the text is in Italian...

Io non ho detto ... l'ho detto ad abbundantiam e ho sottolineato che è ad abbundantiam.

(This is the full text, with nothing missing. The speaker simply cuts off only to then start again)

ad abundantiam

Explanation:
I think it's a typo for the above. The phrase comes up 362 times on the eur-lex EU law site, hence appears to be well used!

Various of these occurences on eur-lex also have it as 'moreover', 'furthermore' and 'for the sake of completeness', if you wanted a truly English (non-Latin) version.

Asker: Thanks Vincenzo, I couldn't find much as my text has the wrong spelling of abundantiam - wikipedia is usually one of the first places I look but didn't find it there so thanks for the link and the explanation!

Notes to answerer

Asker: Eur-lex was the very first place I looked but didn't realize the spelling was incorrect (that'll be why I didn't find many hits in Italian text either) - thanks for pointing that out :)

15 hrs confidence:

in abundance/in plenty

Explanation:
'Ad' is here used, as often, to express the point or goal at or to which something persists or is done. It is a sort of metaphorical 'end of motion'. Cf. 'ad nauseam'.

Explanation:
I did not say this ... that is, I said it as an afterthought and I emphasized that it was only an afterthought.
