§1.7.14.pr

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 1.7.14.pradoptatum patrem

    Here adoptatum patrem (literally "the adopted father") refers to the adoptive grandfather of the grandson (i.e., the adoptive father of the son). The passive participle adoptatus is used here in the sense of the adjective adoptivus ("adoptive").

  2. 1.7.14.prper emancipationem

    The subject of the emancipation (emancipatio) is the "son" (filius) who was adopted. When the son, who is under the paternal power (patria potestas), is emancipated, the grandson who is dependent on him also loses his familial ties and all rights in the adoptive family.
