Syntax notes1 item
  1. 3.1.5.prnegotiis suis ... superesse

    The verb superesse (governing the dative) is used here not in its common sense of "to survive" or "to remain," but in the legal sense of "to attend to," "to manage," or "to be equal to (affairs)." Negotiis suis is the dative plural object.
