Notes

  1. §1.7.45.prOnera — Nominative plural of the neuter noun onus (burden, obligation, expense). In this legal context, it refers to the financial or legal burdens, such as maintenance and support, associated with the person given in adoption.
  2. §1.7.45.preius, qui in adoptionem datus est — The genitive of the demonstrative pronoun is (eius) serves as the antecedent of the relative pronoun qui, forming a possessive genitive qualifying onera. The phrase in adoptionem dare is a standard legal expression meaning 'to give in adoption'.
