Syntax notes2 items
  1. 4.4.6.prsubuenitur

    The passive of the dative-governing verb subuenire (to relieve) is used impersonally, with the dative minoribus functioning as the object of the relief.

  2. 4.4.6.printersit

    The present subjunctive of the impersonal verb interesse (to be of importance/interest). It takes the genitive (ipsorum) to denote the person concerned, and the infinitive clause (litibus et sumptibus non uexari) as its subject.
