[JAVOLENUS, from Cassius, Book XV]
Miles commeatu accepto1 si domo sua est, rei publicae causa abesse non uidetur.

An ablative absolute construction (noun + perfect participle) which, combined with the conditional clause si domo sua est, describes a specific condition: "having received a furlough, and if he is at his home."
- 4.6.34.1in publico, quod uectigalium causa locatum est
The relative pronoun quod refers to the neuter singular antecedent publico (public land or public property). locatum est refers to leasing by the state (to private tax collectors for generating public revenue), together forming a restrictive phrase: "on public property leased for the purpose of taxes (revenue)."
