[568] “‘Manus dedisset,’ consensisset,” Serv. Heyne says “manus dat proprie victus, tum omnino qui cedit, qui placatur, h. l. qui quod humanitas aliorum vel hospitalitas offert accipit.” ‘Feritate’ Madv. § 255, who gives other instances of the abl. of “the efficient cause in the agent himself by which a thing is done.” Here we may either make ‘non dedisset’ a positive notion, or say that ‘feritate’ is a restraining cause, like “prae feritate.” Rom. has ‘nec’ for ‘neque.’ ‘Neque dedisset’ 9. 704 note.
