   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.200–202:

     “Vōs et Scyllaeam rabiem penitusque sonantīs
     accēstis scopulōs, vōs et Cyclōpēa saxa
     expertī [...].”

     “You neared mad Scylla and heard the howls within her cliffs, and you experienced the rocks of the Cyclops.”
     (Note: “accestis” is a syncopated form of “accessistis.” The “vos et … vos et” repetition exemplifies anaphora.)

When used in the plural genitive, vestrī is used when it is the object of an action, especially when used with a gerund or gerundive. When used in such a construction, the gerund or gerundive takes on the masculine genitive singular. Vestrum is used as a partitive genitive, used in constructions such as (one of you).
