Telemachum, juvenem bonæ indolis, Calypso existimavit.
Calypso thought Telemachus a nice young man.

Praise, dispraise, or the quality of a thing is placed in the ablative,
and also in the genitive case-- as
Vir paucorum verborum et magni appetitûs:
A man of few words and large appetite.
Paterfamilias. Vir multis miseriis:
A father of a family. A man of many woes.
