- 5.1.3.prfrustrandae actionis causa
An expression of purpose using causa with the genitive. The gerundive frustrandae agrees with the noun actionis, meaning "for the purpose of frustrating the action" or "to defeat the action".
- 5.1.3.prNon uidetur ... qui
The demonstrative pronoun (such as is) serving as the subject of uidetur in the main clause is omitted, and the entire relative clause qui... that follows qualifies this omitted subject. The clause led by the nominative qui forms the structure "he who... (is not deemed)".
- 5.1.3.prpraesens
An adjective in the nominative singular masculine agreeing with the subject qui of the relative clause. It functions predicatively, meaning "while being present" or "in person".
