Syntax notes2 items
  1. 1.7.24.prabsens neque dissentiens

    The nominative singular masculine forms of the present participles absens (absent) and dissentiens (dissenting), used substantively. They function as the grammatical subjects of the main verb potest and the logical subjects of the passive infinitive adrogari.

  2. 1.7.24.pradrogari

    The present passive infinitive of adrogare (to arrogate). In Roman law, while adoptio refers to the adoption of a person under paternal power (alieni iuris), adrogatio refers to the adoption of an independent person (sui iuris) who thereby falls under another's paternal power. It functions as a complementary infinitive dependent on the main verb potest.
