  1. 2.15.10.prtransigentem patrem minime eis obesse placet

    The impersonal verb placet (it is held/approved) governs an accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction, where patrem is the subject accusative and obesse is the infinitive. transigentem is a present participle modifying patrem, taking the prepositional phrase de re.... eis is a dative object governed by obesse and refers back to filiorum (the children).
