Syntax notes2 items
  1. 3.3.7.preius praesentis

    The genitive singular demonstrative pronoun 'eius' and the genitive singular present participle 'praesentis' (used substantively to mean 'one who is present') form a phrase modifying 'procurator'. In connection with the previous section (§3.3.6.pr), it refers to 'the procurator of that person who is present'.

  2. 3.3.7.presse uidetur

    Rather than an impersonal passive, 'uidetur' is the third-person singular passive agreeing with the subject 'procurator', and together with the infinitive 'esse', it means 'is deemed to be' or 'is considered to be'.
