§4.3.10.pr

​id est usque ad duos aureos,1

​that is, up to two aurei,

Syntax notes1 item
  1. 4.3.10.prusque ad duos aureos

    This is an explanatory phrase defining the scope of the "small sum" (modica summa) in the previous section (D. 4.3.9.5). It qualifies the conditional clause "si modica summa sit" of the previous section and leads to the main verb "non debet dari" in the following section (D. 4.3.10.1). "usque ad" indicates the upper limit, meaning two aurei or less.
