se, suus

Post by Lavrentivs »

I've learnt that the reflexive pronoun refers to the subject, but Cic. Ac. I.33:

spoliavit enim virtutem suo decore

Rackham (Loeb):
for he robbed virtue of her beauty

is this irregular, or is the rule erroneous; or I confused?

I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.
