Meaning
At XIX.20 the thunderbolt’s god is asked to grant all things fitting or favourable to the mind in return for the libation. The neuter plural can stand as the things requested. Although the word belongs near allotment vocabulary, this sentence asks for an appropriate outcome rather than asserting an unavoidable fate.
