1192. (1.) Many verbs of transitive use take the dative: as,
#ē̆ī fīliam suam in mātrimōnium dat#, 1, 3, 5, _he gives this person his
own daughter in marriage_. #decima legiō ē̆ī grātiās ēgit#, 1, 41, 1,
_the tenth legion gave him thanks_. #huic fert subsidium Puliō#, 5, 44,
13, _to him Pulio brings aid_. #multīs idem minātur Antōnius#, _Ph._ 11,
2, _to many Antony threatens the same_. #reliquī sēsē fugae mandārunt#,
1, 12, 3, _the rest betook themselves to flight_. #commendō vōbīs meum
parvum fīlium#, _C._ 4, 23, _unto your keeping do I commit the little
son of mine_. #multī sē aliēnissimīs crēdidērunt#, 6, 31, 4, _many
people put themselves in the hands of utter strangers_. #equitēs imperat
cīvitātibus#, 6, 4, 6, _he issues orders to the communities for horse_.
1193. This dative is used with such verbs as #dō#, #trādō#, #tribuō#,
#dīvidō#, #ferō#, #praebeō#, #praestō#, #polliceor#, #prōmittō#,
#dēbeō#, #negō#, #mōnstrō#, #dīcō#, #nārrō#, #mandō#, #praecipiō#, &c.,
&c. In the passive construction, the accusative becomes nominative, the
dative remaining.
1194. (2.) Many verbs of transitive use compounded with a preposition
take a dative connected in sense with the preposition: as,
#nihil novī vōbīs adferam#, _RP._ 1, 21, _I shall not lay any novelty
before you_. #lēgēs omnium salūtem singulōrum salūtī antepōnunt#, _Fin._
3, 64, _the law always puts the general safety before the safety of the
individual_. #timōrem bonīs iniēcistis#, _Agr._ 1, 23, _you have struck
terror into the hearts of patriots_. #nōluērunt ferīs corpus obicere#,
_RA._ 71, _they would not cast his person before ravenous beasts_.
#nēminem huic praeferō#, N. 8, 1, 1, _there is nobody I put before him_.
#hībernīs Labiēnum praeposuit#, 1, 54, 2, _he put Labienus over the
winter-quarters_. #anitum ōva gallīnīs saepe suppōnimus#, _DN._ 2, 124,
_we often put ducks’ eggs under hens_.
1195. The prepositions are #circum#, #dē#, #ex#, #post#, or those named
in 1189. In many compounds of transitive use, however, the dative is due
to the general meaning of the verb, as with those spoken of in 1189.
1196. With these verbs, a prepositional construction is often used, as
with the verbs of intransitive use (1190): as,
#iam diū nihil novī ad nōs adferēbātur#, _Fam._ 2, 14, _no news has got
to us this long time_. For compounds of #circum# and #trāns# with two
accusatives, see 1138.
1197. Verbs of transitive use compounded with #com-# have oftener the
ablative with #cum#: as, #cōnferte hanc pācem cum illō bellō#, _V._ 4,
115, _just compare this peace with that war_. See also in the
dictionary, #coniungō# and #compōnō#; also the indirect compounds
#comparō#, _compare_, from #compār#, and #commūnicō#.
1198. With a few compounds of #ad# or #in#, a second accusative is
exceptionally used: as, #arbitrum illum adēgit#, _Off._ 3, 66, _he had
the other man up before a daysman_. So with #inmittō#, Pl. _Cap._ 548,
#īnsinuō#, Lucr. 1, 116, &c., &c. Regularly with #animum advertō#: as,
#animum advertī columellam#, _TD._ 5, 65, _I noticed a modest shaft_.
#quā rē animum adversā#, Caes. _C._ 1, 80, 4, _this fact being paid heed
to_: compare 1138.
1199. A few compound verbs admit either the dative of the person or
thing and accusative of the thing, or the accusative of the person or
thing and ablative of the thing; such are #adspergō# and #īnspergō#,
#circumdō#, #circumfundō#, #exuō# and #induō#, #impertiō#, #interclūdō#;
also the uncompounded #dōnō#: as, #praedam mīlitibus dōnat#, 7, 11, 9,
_he presents the booty to the soldiers_. #scrībam tuum ānulō dōnāstī#,
_V._ 3, 185, _you presented your clerk with a ring_. For the different
constructions of #interdīcō#, see the dictionary.
