_80._ Observe the sentences

Lesbia ancilla est bona,
_Lesbia, the maidservant, is good_
Filia Lesbiae ancillae est bona,
_the daughter of Lesbia, the maidservant, is good_
Servus Lesbiam ancillam amat,
_the slave loves Lesbia, the maidservant_

In these sentences /ancilla\, /ancillae\, and /ancillam\ denote the
class of persons to which _Lesbia_ belongs and explain who she is. Nouns
so related that the second is only another name for the first and
explains it are said to be in apposition, and are always in the same
case.

_81._ RULE. Apposition. _An appositive agrees in case with the noun
which it explains._
