Syntax notes2 items

2.14.29.prcrediderit
The third-person singular subjunctive perfect (or future perfect) verb. Although the subject is not explicitly stated, it refers to the 'slave' (seruus) or 'son' (filius familias) from the context of the preceding fragment (D. 2.14.28.2), especially indicated here by the phrase dominicam pecuniam (the master's money).
2.14.29.prquod ... pactus est ualere
Accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction governed by Celsus ait ('Celsus says'). The entire clause introduced by the relative pronoun quod (with the antecedent implied: 'what he agreed upon') functions as the subject accusative of the infinitive ualere ('to be valid').
