​siue1 de eo paciscantur, quod cum ipsis,2 siue de eo, quod cum patre dominoue contractum est,

​whether they make an agreement concerning that which was contracted with themselves, or concerning that which was contracted with their father or master,

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 2.14.18.prsiue... siue...

    The correlatives siue... siue... modify the conditional clause si paciscantur in §2.14.17.7, presenting two alternative circumstances regarding whom the underlying contract was made with.

  2. 2.14.18.prquod cum ipsis

    The verb contractum est from the subsequent clause is understood to be omitted after quod cum ipsis. The pronoun ipsis refers to the filius seruusue (son or slave) in the preceding fragment (§2.14.17.7).
