The following passage from Virgil affords a similar instance of this kind of double meaning; he says: Aen. ii. 436. Slow from Ulysses' wound, using vulnus, not of a wound that Ulysses had suffered, but of one that he had inflicted. Nescius also is used as well of one who is unknown as of one who does not know; but its use in the sense of one who does not know is common, while it is rarely used of that which is unknown. Ignarus has the same double application, not only to one who is ignorant, but also to one who is not known. Thus Plautus in the Rudens says: v. 275. In unknown (nesciis) realms are we where hope knows naught (nescia). That is, not knowing what to expect And Sallust: Hist. i. 103, Maur. With the natural desire of mankind to visit unknown (ignara) places. And Virgil: Aen. x. 706. Unknown (ignarum) the Laurentine shore doth Mimas hold.
