Syntax notes1 item
- 2.14.38.prpriuatorum pactis
The ablative plural pactis, from pactum (agreement, contract), functions as an ablative of means modifying the passive infinitive mutari. The genitive plural priuatorum, from priuatus (private individual), functions as a subjective genitive qualifying pactis (meaning agreements made by private individuals).
