Hi
I'm not sure I'm translating these fragments from Cap XXII correctly. Can you help?
Catena qua canis vincitur
Anuli quibus digiti ornantur
Here's how I translate them:
Catena [Nominative] qua [Ablative of Instrument?] canis [Nominative] vincitur [Passive]
The chain with which the dog is chained
Anuli [Nominative Plural] quibus [Ablative of Instrument?] digiti [Nominative Plural] ornantur [Passive Plural]
The rings with which fingers [or the fingers] are ornamented
Am I on the right track here? Is qua/quibus in these fragments in the Ablative of Instrument?
Thank you.
Marcus.

Marcus, you are correct on all accounts!
