​Likewise, it is clear that an agreement made by the director of a partnership is both beneficial and prejudicial.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 2.14.14.prmagistri

    magistri is the genitive singular of the second-declension noun magister, modifying pactum (agreement). Here it refers to the manager of the partnerships (societatium, genitive plural), and modifies pactum, which is the subject accusative of the accusative-with-infinitive (A.c.I.) construction introduced by constat.

  2. 2.14.14.prprodesse et obesse

    These are infinitives introduced by constat (it is clear), with prodesse (to benefit) and obesse (to prejudice) connected by the correlative conjunctions et... et... (both... and...). This indicates that the effect of the agreement applies equally to the benefit and the detriment of the partnership.
