Syntax notes1 item
  1. 4.3.12.prne ex dolo suo lucrentur

    A ne clause containing the present subjunctive lucrentur (third-person plural of the deponent verb lucror). It is interpreted as a final (purpose) clause, standing in semantic parallel with ut bonae fidei mentio fiat in the preceding chunk (Ulpian), explaining the purpose of granting a modified action on the facts to prevent them from profiting from their own fraud.
