Syntax notes2 items
  1. 3.3.20.prualetudine

    Ablative of means or cause. While "ualetudine" literally means "state of health" (whether good or bad), in this context it refers specifically to "ill health" or "sickness" that prevents action.

  2. 3.3.20.prdistringatur

    This verb is coordinated with "sit" in the conditional clause ("si ...") of the preceding fragment (3.3.19.pr), with this entire fragment presenting additional alternative conditions (uel ... uel ... uel ...). "distringatur" is the third-person singular present subjunctive passive, and its subject is the "procurator" understood from the previous fragment.
