Castoris?

Hi Katherine,
Here, you can use both the genitive and the dative. This particular use is called dative of possession. The formula "dat. + sum" usually translates into "subj. + to have".

I think your translation with the genitive doesn't have to be changed.

Of course. Thanks for the link; it's not emphasized at all in my textbooks.
