Information about the source

The apparent Genitive animī (really Locative) is used with a few verbs and adjectives of feeling and the like:—

Antiphō mē excruciat animī (Ter. Ph. 187) , Antipho tortures my mind (me in my mind). quī pendet animī (Tusc. 4.35) , who is in suspense. mē animī fallit (Lucr. 1.922) , my mind deceives me. So, by analogy, dēsipiēbam mentis (Pl. Epid. 138) , I was out of my head. aeger animī , sick at heart; cōnfūsus animī , disturbed in spirit. sānus mentis aut animī (Pl. Trin. 454) , sound in mind or heart.
