  1. 3.2.24.prnon offuisse mulieris famae quaestum eius in seruitute factum

    An accusative-and-infinitive construction (indirect statement) depending on rescripsit. The infinitive is the perfect offuisse (from officio, 'to prejudice/harm', which takes the dative, here mulieris famae). Its subject accusative is quaestum... factum ('earnings made'). eius is the genitive of the demonstrative pronoun referring back to mulieris.
