Ad Fam VI.6

[Matthaeus]

coniunctione frangi senatus opes, diiunctione civile bellum excitari videbam, atque utebar familiarissime Caesare, Pompeium faciebam plurimi, sed erat meum consilium cum fidele Pompeio, tum salutare utrique.

I know this cum...tum construction to be one of his favorites, but this has got to be ablative. Not sure of the sense anyway.

 

[rothbard]

I think fidele goes with consilium here.

 

[Pacifica]

Yes. Fidele is nominative in agreement with consilium, and Pompeio is dative.

 

[Matthaeus]

Thanks, that makes perfect sense now.
