[659] The constr. ‘tui fidissima’ may be an extension either (as Heyne suggests) of the more ordinary “tui amantissima,” or of the common use of ‘fiducia’ with gen., a case which does not in ordinary Latin stand with the adj. ‘fidus.’ Or, thirdly, ‘fidissima’ may stand for a substantive: ‘your most faithful one.’
