Notes
- 1.7.26.pradoptauerit — Future perfect indicative (or perfect subjunctive), representing a conditional action to be completed prior to the future tense of the main verb erit.
- 1.7.26.prQuem ... is — A correlative structure where the clause introduced by the relative pronoun Quem precedes the main clause, and its antecedent is expressed by the subsequent demonstrative pronoun is. This is a characteristic Latin construction presenting a condition-like clause first.
