Dative singular pronoun
c. 200 BCE,
Plautus,
Menaechmi 841, (trochaic septenarius; conjectural emendation per Ritschl of manuscript "illi"
):
- Ecce, Apollo mi ex oraclo imperat,
ŭt ĕgo illī⟨c⟩ ŏcŭlōs exūram lampădĭbus ārdentĭbus.- 2011 translation by Wolfgang de Melo
- Look, Apollo tells me through a divine utterance to burn out that woman’s eyes with flaming torches.
160 BCE,
Publius Terentius Afer,
Adelphoe 602, (iambic octonarius; conjectural emendation of manuscript "illi"
):
- nam‿ĕt illī⟨c⟩ ănĭmum iam rĕlĕvābis, quae dŏlōre‿ac mĭsĕrĭā
tabescit, et tuo officio fueris functus.- 2001 translation by John Barsby
- You'll put her mind at rest—she's pining away in pain and misery—and you'll have done your duty.
Notes
- ^ Alternative proposed emendations to fix the meter include "...illi iam animum rellevaris", "...illi ita animum iam relevabis" and "...illi iam relevabis animum". Alternatively, Harkness 1906 supposes this line might be read with hiatus.
