[PAULUS libro duodecimo ad Sabinum.]

De his rebus et rationibus et controuersiis iudicare arbiter potest, quae ab initio fuissent1 inter eos qui compromiserunt, non quae2 postea superuenerunt.
An arbitrator can judge concerning those matters, accounts, and disputes which had existed from the beginning between those who entered into the submission, not those which arose afterwards.

Subjunctive pluperfect in the relative clause introduced by quae.

In contrast, the subsequent relative clause uses the indicative perfect superuenerunt.
- 4.8.46.prnon quae
An elliptical expression for non de iis quae. The preposition de and the demonstrative pronoun iis (corresponding to his in the first clause) are omitted for conciseness.
