§393. Two Accusatives

Verbs of naming, choosing, appointing, making, esteeming, showing, and the like, may take a Predicate Accusative along with the direct object:—

• ō Spartace, quem enim tē potius appellem (Phil. 13.22), O Spartacus, for what else shall I call you (than Spartacus)?
• Cicerōnem cōnsulem creāre, to elect Cicero consul.
• mē augurem nōmināvērunt (Phil. 2.4), they nominated me for augur.
• cum grātiās ageret quod sē cōnsulem fēcisset (De Or. 2.268), when he thanked him because he had made him consul (supported his candidacy).
• hominem prae sē nēminem putāvit (Rosc. Am. 135), he thought nobody a man in comparison with himself.
• ducem sē praebuit (Vat. 33), he offered himself as a leader.

a. In changing from the active voice to the passive, the Predicate Accusative becomes Predicate Nominative (§ 284):—

• rēx ab suīs appellātur (B. G. 8.4), he is called king by his subjects. [Active<*> suī eum rēgem appellant.]
