Dative Singular of a Third Declension Noun

Valerius Maximus, Memorable Doings and Sayings, Vol. I: Books 1-5. Edited and Translated by D. R. Shackleton Bailey (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2000 = Loeb Classical Library, 492), pp. 438-439 (5.1.praef.):
Liberalitatii quas aptiores comites quam humanitatem et clementiam dederim, quoniam idem genus laudis expetunt?

What more suitable companions should I give to liberality than humanity and mercy, since they seek the same kind of praise?
Liberalitatii is a mistake — it should be Liberalitati. The error persists in the Digital Loeb Classical Library.
