Certain verbs may take either the Dative of the Person and the Accusative of the thing, or (in a different sense) the Accusative of the person and the Ablative of the thing[1][Such are dónó, impertió, exuó, adspergó, ínspergó, circumdó, and in poetry accingó, implicó, and similar verbs]: -

dónat corónás suís, he presents wreaths to his men; or,
dónat suós corónís, he presents his men with wreaths.
vincula exuere sibi (Ov. M. vii. 772), to shake off the leash (from himself).
omnís aarmís exuit (B. G. v. 51), he stripped them all of their arms.

NOTE 1: Interdícó, forbid, takes either (1) the Dative of the Person and the Ablative fo the thing, or (2) in later writers, the Dative of the person and the Accusative of the thing: -

aquá et ígní alicui interdícere, to forbid one the use of fire and water. [The regular formula for banishment.]
interdixit histrionibus scaenam (Suet. Dom. 7), he forbade the actors [to appear on] the stage (he prohibited the stage to the actors).
féminis (dat.) purpurae úsú interdícémus (Liv. xxxiv. 7), shall we forbid women the wearing ofthe purple?

NOTE 2: The Dative with the Accusative is used in poetry with many verbs of preventing, protecting, and the like, which usually take the Accusative and Ablative. Interclúdó and prohibeó sometimes take the Dative and Accusative, even in prose: -

hísce omnís aditús ad Sullam interclúdere (Rosc. Am. 110), to shut these men off from all access to Sulla (close to them every approach). [Cf. utí commeátú Caesarem interclúderet (B. G. i. 48), to shut Caesar off from supplies.]
hunc (oestrum) arcébis pecorí (Georg. iii. 54) you shall keep this away from the flock. [Cf. illum arcuit Galliá (Phil. v. 37), he excluded him from Gaul.]
sólstitum pecorí défendite (Ecl. vii. 47), keep the summer heat from the flock. [Cf. utí sé ácontuméliís inimícórum défenderet (B. C. i. 22), to defend himself from the slanders of his enemies.]
