Syntax notes1 item
  1. 4.9.2.prsicut et caupo uiatorum

    This fragment must be understood by supplying the ellipsis of the noun factum (acts) and the verb praestare debet (must answer for) from the end of the preceding section (D. 4.9.1.8: factum ... uectorum). The genitive plural uiatorum (of travellers) modifies the understood noun factum.
