357. RULE.-Combined Objects-Two Accusatives. Verbs of asking, demanding, teaching, concealing, clothing, unclothing, doing or saying good or ill, and some others, may take two accusatives, one of a person and the other of a thing, e. g. :

γνώμην.

Ταῦτα αὐτοῦμεν τοὺς θεούς.

you my opinion. We ask this of the gods.
