§4.8.8.pr

​But if the submission to arbitration was made in such a way that the decision of either of the two should be valid, Titius must be compelled.

Syntax notes1 item
  1. 4.8.8.prTitium cogendum

    This is an expression of obligation using the gerundive, with the ellipsis of the copula 'esse' and the infinitive phrase 'sententiam dicere' (to render an award) from the preceding section (§4.8.7.1). The full sense is 'Titius must be compelled to render an award.'
