Excerpt from Case Usage in Livy, Vol. 4: The Ablative

Under the Ablative are to be placed also some types of non-prepositional statements. Of these the ablative of source is occasionally found, as also the ablative indica ting that in accord with which something is done, which stands in somewhat the same relation to statements with the preposition as does the ablative of cause; though the one gives the established guide, the other the source of the impelling motive. The full causal force is at times indicated by a parallel statement: 3, 8, 7 ingens terror, magis re subita, quam quod; 25, 15, 17 magis quia ipsi ob imperium in se mite ac iustum consultum volebant, quam respectu Romanorum. When a verb with a person as subject is put into the passive voice the subject is changed to the ablative of agent with dé, or gui rem faez't becomes a guo res fit. In the active the abstract noun is considered as having the same potency as the person.
