§ 313. Genitive with Nouns.

(2) The Gen. of Possession is used with essĕ as a Predicate to the Inf: paupĕrĭs est nŭmĕrārĕ pĕcŭs it is the work of a poor man to count his flock.

§ 314. Genitive with Verbs.

§ 315. The Gen. of Possession is found with rēfert it concerns, intĕrest it makes a difference. In place of the Gen. of the Personal Pronouns, the Possessives are used (§ 161). They are put into the ''Abl. Fem.''; mĕā,tŭā, sŭā, etc.

Mĕā rēfert, etc., are probably from mĕā rē fert it bears in the direction of my concern (Abl. of Route), and mĕā intĕrest probably means there is a difference (lit. there is something between) in my direction or in the direction of my concern.
