§3.4.4.pr

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 3.4.4.prPlane ut

    A combination of the adverb plane (clearly, of course) and the conditional conjunction ut (provided that, if). It serves to clarify or supplement the condition of 'the presence of two-thirds' mentioned in the preceding fragment (D. 3.4.3.pr).

  2. 3.4.4.prnumerari potest

    'Can be counted.' The passive infinitive numerari here means that the very person being designated by the council can also be counted as part of the attending members required to make up the quorum (two-thirds) for the vote.
