"Thus in the fable: 'The vulture invited the little birds to a feast which he was going to give them,' quod illīs daturus erat would mean he really was going to give them the feast and the narrator vouched for the fact; but quod illīs datūrus esset would mean that the vulture only said he was going to do so, and the writer does not vouch for the truth of the statement."
