Syntax notes2 items
- 1.16.15.prEt
The conjunction Et at the beginning of the sentence functions here in the sense of "also" rather than "and", following previous rules on the proconsul's own powers, to emphasize that their legates (legati) are likewise authorized to appoint guardians.
- 1.16.15.prtutores dare
Although the verb dare literally means "to give," when combined with the object tutores (guardians), it carries the technical legal meaning of "to appoint" or "to designate" guardians.
