... vagis sermonibus simularet. postremo vulneribus ligamenta quibusque sistitur sanguis...

vulneribus ligamenta: the dative of a noun, so closely connected with another that a genitive would be expected, is frequent in poets and also in Livy, and still more in Tacitus : cf. ministeria magistratibus et sacerdotibus, xiii 27, 2 ; flagitiis et sceleribus velamenta, xiii 47, 1 ; vulneribus ligamenta, xv 54, 4.
