[594] Forc. quotes another instance of ‘inspoliatus’ from Quint. 7. 1. ‘Spoliare’ generally takes an acc. of the person: but Forc. gives two or three instances where it has one of the thing. With the line generally comp. 4. 392, “Marmoreo referunt thalamo stratisque reponunt.” ‘Patriae’ a sort of local dative, such as is used to express motion to. It is doubtless a vestige of the locative, though Virg. probably did not think it so. See on 6. 84. This seems better than with Forb. to take ‘reponere’ as = “reddere.”
