1293. The genitive is sometimes used with verbs of filling, abounding,
and lacking, as it is with the corresponding adjectives (1263): as,
#convīvium vīcīnōrum cōtīdiē compleō#, _CM._ 46, _I fill out a
dinner-party every day with neighbours_. #haec rēs vītae mē, soror,
saturant#, Pl. _St._ 18, _these things, my sister, sicken me of life_.
#terra ferārum nunc etiam scatit#, Lucr. 5, 39, _still teems the earth
with ravin beasts_. So with #egeō# sometimes: as, #egeō cōnsilī#, _Att._
7, 22, 2, _I am in need of some advice_. And usually with #indigeō#: as,
#hoc bellum indiget celeritātis#, _Ph._ 6, 7, _this war requires rapid
action_. But, from Livy on, the ablative is commoner with #indigeō#: see
1305.
1294. With verbs of separating and abstaining, the ablative is regularly
used (1302). But the genitive is sometimes found in poetry: as, #mē
omnium labōrum levās#, Pl. _R._ 247, _thou riddest me of all my woes_.
#abstinētō īrārum calidaeque rixae#, H. 3, 27, 69, _from bursts of rage
keep thou and hot affray_.
