The Dative of Reference and Dative of Purpose often appear
together in a construction known as the Double Dative
Erat auxilio consuli, he was out of help to the consul
Est usui nobis, it is of advantage to us
DATIVE OF POSSESSION


the dative can be used with forms of VOB Possession to express possession
Romans almost always used the Dative of Possession when referring to parts of the
body or when talking about names
e.g. Bina currura mihi sunt(There are legs to two at a time= I have two legs)
Quid est nomen tibi? (What is the name to you= what’s your name)
Mihi est domus (I have a house)
Dative of agent


VERY
Similar
!!!!!!!!!
with certain verbs compounded with ad, ante, con-(=cum), in, inter, ob, post, prae,
pro, sub, super and sometimes circum and re-(in the sense of against) the dative is
a direct object
Sequor eum(acc)
I follow him
sum amicus(nominative)
I am his friend
venit ad nos(acc.)
he came to us
obsequor ei (dative)
I obey him
adsum amico(dative)
I support my friend
advenit nobis (dative)

Special verbs

praeficio
praesum

 this Dative appears to function as object of the preposition used as prefix:
e.g. Aliis praestant, they surpass the others (prep: prae)
Praeerat exercitui, he was in charge of the army (prep: prae)
If the simple verb is transitive, then the compound may take an accusative as
object of the root verb as well as a dative
e.g. Praeposui eum exercitui, I put him in charge of the army
Praeposui pecuniam amicitiae, I preferred money to friendship
