INTRODUCTION moenibus admovere, xiii 39, 4; balineis inferuntur, xvi 11, 4; rather than cum, licentiae permixtus, xiii 24, i ; Poppaeae con- iungitur, xiv 60, i. 9 [17]. Dativus Commodi : (a) rebus conducere, xiv 61, 6, and the much bolder non referre dedecori, xv 65, 2, should be noted. [19]. (d) the dative of a noun, so closely connected with another that a genitive would be expected, is frequent in poets and also in Livy, and still more in Tacitus : cf. ministeria magistratibus et sacerdotibus, xiii 27, 2 ; flagitiis et sceleribus velamenta, xiii 47, i ; vulneribus ligamenta, xv 54, 4. 10 [18]. The Dative of Agent is used without restriction to the gerundive or adjectives in -bills, and without any prominence of the idea of the 'interest' of the agent: as Neroni trahebatur, xiii 20, i: cf. xv 35, i; sibi compertum, xiii 43, 4; Corbuloni audita, xv 3, i. To this case rather than ablative should be referred such phrases as cupita aliis, xiii 13, 5 ; suspecta maiori- bus, xiv 44, 4 ; sapientioribus deliberatum, xiv 44, I ; iter Lucullo penetratum, xv 27, l ; parta maioribus, xv 2, 3. See also § 16. 11 [22]. The Dative of Purpose or Work contemplated is very frequent: the gerund or gerundive in this case may follow an adj., as dignam . . . suscipiendo . . . imperio, xiii 14, 3 ; or stand with a verb, as equivalent to a final clause, as testificando . . . vulgabat, xiii II, 2; subruendo vallo inducit, xiii 39, 4, and many other instances, e.g. contegendis, xiii 13, 2; supplendis, xiii 7, i ; firmando, xiii 41, 3 ; visendis, xv 10, 4. The same use of this case is extended to substantives : dux bello delectus, xiii 9, 6 ; venditioni exposita, xiii 25, i ; verberibus nianus intenderent, xiii 26, 2; see also ultioni, xiii 32, 1 ; viae, xiii 40, 2 ; sermoni, xiv 53, i ; colloquio, XV 28, I. 12 [23]. This should be distinguished from 'predicative' datives showing that which a thing or person serves as or occasions, such as spectaculo, xiii 9, 4; crimini, xiii 10, 3; muneri, xiv 31, 3; irrisui, xiv 39, 3 ; documento, xv 27, 2 ; ostentui, xv 29, 7 ; indutui, xvi 4, 2 ; Usui, xvi 19, 5. C. Ablative. 13 [24]. The Ablative of Place whence is used freely, without preposition, both of proper names, as Italia pellerentur, xiii 25, 4; xii
SYNTAX Armenia abscessere, xiii 7, 2 ; Pontico mari . . . adventantes, xiii 39, 1 and of common names, as cubiculo prorumpit, xiii 44, 6 ; ; pellit sedibus xv ; 27, 4 often after compound verbs implying separation, as matrimonio depulsam, xiii 19, 2; sententia decessit, xiv 49, 5 ; demovet cura, xiii 14, i ; exuerent sedibus, xiii 39, 3 ; contuberniis extracti, xv 13, 2. 14 [25]. The Ablative of Place at which is used, without preposi- tion, as freely as in poetry, as Cappadocia, xiii 8, ; 2 insula Pandateria, xiv 63, I ; tenere se munimentis, xiii 36, 2 ; curru . . . vehens, xiv 35, I ; foro ac templis, xiv 61, i ; foribus, xv 31, i ; sedilibus, xvi 5, 2. Note also medio, xv 18, i ; xv 29, 5. So too of the way by which, as Rhodano, xiii 53, 3 ; saltibus (co-ordinated with per lacus), xiii 54, 2. 1 5 [26]. Time throughout which (a post- Augustan use), as reliquo noctis, xiv 10, i ; medio temporis, xiii 28, 3 ; triumphis, votis, XV 45, 2 ; triennio, xvi 22, i. On the other hand Tacitus some- times uses ' in ' to express time in the course of which, as in tribunatu plebis, xiv 48, i. 16 [27], Instrumental Ablative is sometimes extended to persons (a poetical use), centurione comitatus, xiv 8, 5 ; Corbuloni certis nuntiis audita sunt, xv 3, i ; repentinis hostibus circumventi, xv 4, 4. The use of this case to describe the force with which military operations are conducted resembles such Greek constructions as (itpfii/ a-Tparca : see xv 7, 2 duabus legionibus Arm^niam intrat ; totis regni viribus advenisse, xv 13, 5 ; cf. also expeditis legionibus, xiii 41, I ; non infenso exercitu, xiv 23, i ; ipse legionibus citis, xiv 26, 1 ; which may be referred to this rather than ablative absolute. 17 [28]. The Ablative of Manner or Modal Ablative is employed boldly without any adjective, as vigilatam convivio noctem, xiii 20, 5 ; see also ignavia, xiv 20, 3 ; impetu, xiv 32, 5 and xv ; 38, 4 cuneo, xiv 37, I. 18 [29]. The Ablative of Quality is often used of persons without the addition of the verb ' esse ' or of a common name (cf, § 25), as Plautum magnis opibus, xiv 57, 5 ; habebatur . . . erudito luxu, xvi 18, i ; Eprium Marcellum acri eloquentia, xvi 22, 10. 19 [30J. The Causal Ablative is used with much freedom in the Annuls, where a preposition, or ' causa ' or 'gratia ' with genitive, xiii
