Syntax notes2 items
  1. 2.6.3.prpro locuplete

    The combination of the preposition pro with the ablative locuplete means 'as solvent' or 'in place of a wealthy/solvent person'. It indicates that whereas normally strict requirements of solvency are imposed on a surety, under these specific privileges, the surety offered is accepted as if they were fully solvent.

  2. 2.6.3.prin necessariis personis

    The combination of the preposition in with the ablative. It refers back to the necessitudinem personarum (close relationship of persons) in the preceding section 2.6.2.pr, meaning 'in the case of closely (legally) related persons', such as patrons, spouses, children, or daughters-in-law.
