Macer defines the term "praeses" (governor) as a general term encompassing all provincial rulers, such as proconsuls and imperial legates, whereas "proconsul" is a specific designation.
[MACER libro primo de officio praesidis.]
[MACER, from the first book On the Office of a Governor.]
Praesidis nomen generale est eoque1 et proconsules et legati Caesaris et omnes prouincias regentes, licet senatores sint,2 praesides appellantur: proconsulis appellatio specialis est.
The name of “praeses” (governor) is general, and therefore both proconsuls and legates of Caesar and all who rule provinces, even though they may be senators, are called “praesides”; the designation of “proconsul” is specific.

The ablative of cause eo ("thereby" or "therefore") combined with the enclitic conjunction -que ("and").
- 1.18.1.prlicet senatores sint
The concessive conjunction licet takes the present subjunctive sint (3rd person plural) to form a concessive clause meaning "although they are senators."
