§3.4.5.pr

​Illud notandum1 Pomponius ait, quod et patris suffragium filio proderit et filii patri,2

​Pomponius says that this point is to be noted, namely, that both the father’s vote will benefit the son, and the son’s [vote will benefit] the father.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 3.4.5.prIllud notandum

    The gerundive notandum has esse omitted, forming an accusative with infinitive construction dependent on the verb ait. The neuter pronoun Illud anticipates the content of the subsequent quod clause.

  2. 3.4.5.prfilii patri

    Based on the parallel structure with the preceding clause patris suffragium filio proderit, the subject noun suffragium is omitted after the genitive filii, and the verb proderit is omitted after the dative patri.
