​for payment can also be made to him.

Syntax notes1 item
  1. 2.14.11.prsolui ei potest

    A combination of the impersonally used 'potest' and the passive infinitive 'solui' (from 'soluere', 'to pay'). Literally meaning 'it is possible for it to be paid to him', it indicates that a valid payment can be made to the agent. The dative pronoun 'ei' refers to the agent (procurator) mentioned in the preceding section (D. 2.14.10.2). The adverbial 'et' ('also') links the capacity to receive payment with the capacity to make an agreement that benefits the principal.
