THE ABLATIVE OF MANNER.

1358. (1.) Certain substantives without an attribute are put in the

ablative alone to denote manner; but usually substantives without an

attribute have #cum#.

(_a._) Such adverbial ablatives are #iūre# and #iniūriā#, #ratiōne et

viā#, #silentiō#, #vitiō#, #ōrdine#, #sponte#, #cōnsuētūdine#, &c.: as,

#Arātus iūre laudātur#, _Off._ 2, 81, _Aratus is justly admired_.

#iniūriā suspectum#, _C._ 1, 17, _wrongfully suspected_. #in omnibus,

quae ratiōne docentur et viā#, _O._ 116, _in everything that is taught

with philosophic method_. #silentiō ēgressus#, 7, 58, 2, _going out in

silence_. #cēnsōrēs vitiō creātī#, L. 6, 27, 5, _censors irregularly

appointed_. #ōrdine cūncta exposuit#, L. 3, 50, 4, _he told the whole

story from beginning to end_, i.e. with all the particulars. (_b._) With

#cum#: #face rem hanc cum cūrā gerās#, Pl. _Per._ 198, _see that this

job with care thou dost_. #cum virtūte vīvere#, _Fin._ 3, 29, _to live

virtuously_.

1359. (2.) The ablative of a substantive with an attribute is often used

to denote manner, sometimes with #cum#: as,

(_a._) #ī pede faustō#, H. _E._ 2, 2, 37, _go with a blessing on thy

foot_. #dat sonitū magnō strāgem#, Lucr. 1, 288, _it deals destruction

with a mighty roar_. #ferārum rītū sternuntur#, L. 5, 44, 6, _they throw

themselves down beast-fashion_. #apis Matīnae mōre modōque operōsa

carmina fingō#, H. 4, 2, 27, _in way and wise of Matin bee laborious

lays I mould_. #‘indoctus’ dīcimus brevī prīmā litterā, ‘īnsānus’

prōductā, ‘inhūmānus’ brevī, ‘īnfēlīx’ longā#. _O._ 159, _we pronounce_

#indoctus# _with the first letter short_, #īnsānus# _with it long_,

#inhūmānus# _with it short_, #īnfēlīx# _with it long_ (167). #ternō

cōnsurgunt ōrdine rēmī#, V. 5, 120, _with triple bank each time in

concert rise the oars_. (_b._) #Allobroges magnā cum cūrā suōs fīnēs

tuentur#, 7, 65, 3, _the Allobrogans guard their own territory with

great care_.

1360. With a substantive meaning _way_ or _manner_, as #modō#, #rītū#,

&c., _feeling_ or _intention_, as #hāc mente#, #aequō animō#,

_condition_, as #eā condiciōne#, or a part of the body, as in #nūdō

capite#, _bareheaded_, #cum# is not used.

1361. Other expressions denoting manner, particularly prepositional

expressions with #per#, may be found in the dictionary: as, #per dolum#,

4, 13, 1, _by deceit_, #per iocum#, _Agr._ 2, 96, _in fun_, #per

litterās#, _Att._ 5, 21, 13, _by letter_, _in writing_, #per vim#, _RA._

32, _violently_, #per praestigiās#, _V._ 4, 53, _by some hocus pocus or

other_, &c., &c. Sometimes the ablative with #ex#.
