Syntax notes2 items
  1. 7.1.8.prquamuis melius repositurus sit

    This concessive clause depends on the infinitive phrase "neque autem ampliare nec utile detrahere posse" at the end of the preceding fragment (D. 7.1.7.3), meaning "even though he intends to replace it with something better." The word "repositurus" is the future active participle of "reponere" (to replace, rebuild), combined with the subjunctive "sit" to denote the subject's intention.

  2. 7.1.8.prquae sententia

    A relative connection using the relative pronoun "quae" in its adjective-like use, referring back to the opinion (sententia) of Neratius mentioned in the preceding fragment.
