The answer is dative. Also, this sounds like a Hurst-like ploy to get birthday cards. At least you could have given a plug for Amanda. It's her birthday, too.

latin is so easy to translate. unless you are dan mazzucco.

I've decided to post this little tidbit of advice primarily as a way to avoid my work, but also to break the silence out there on the BLD98 blog.

If you ever think to yourself, yes, I would rather translate 2200 lines of Latin than write a term paper, think again. Particularly if it will entail spending your birthday stuck in a library trying to figure out if obscure theological terms are in the ablative or dative.

That is all, and happy holidays.
