§4.3.2.pr

​uel ab eo res seruari poterit,1

​or if the property can be preserved from him,

Syntax notes1 item
  1. 4.3.2.pruel ab eo res seruari poterit

    This clause expresses an alternative condition parallel to the preceding si clause (si aduersus eum sit alia actio...). Although poterit is in the future indicative, contrasting with the present subjunctive sit in the previous clause, it functions within the same conditional framework. Here, res refers to the property or assets at risk, and seruari means to be preserved or recovered from loss.
