Syntax notes1 item
- 4.6.7.prpro rei publicae causa absentibus habentur
The verb habentur (passive of habeo, "to be regarded") takes the preposition pro with the ablative (absentibus) to mean "are regarded as." rei publicae causa is an adverbial phrase consisting of the genitive plus causa (ablative), meaning "on account of the state" or "by reason of public service," which qualifies the state of being absent (absentibus).
