Summary

[POMPONIUS libro sexto ad Sabinum. ] §10.4.4.prnam et cum eo, apud quem deposita uel cui commodata uel locata res sit, agi potest.
[Pomponius in the sixth book on Sabinus.] For an action can also be brought against one with whom a thing has been deposited, or to whom it has been commodated or let.

Notes

  1. 10.4.4.pragi potest — This is an impersonal passive construction with agi potest ('an action can be brought'), construed with cum eo ('against him'), indicating that legal proceedings can be initiated against the person in question.
  2. 10.4.4.prapud quem ... uel cui ... uel locata res sit — The subject and verb res sit (or its parts) are understood in the clauses preceding it: apud quem deposita [res sit] and cui commodata [res sit]. The relative pronoun changes its case according to the verb's construction: accusative with preposition apud quem for deposit, and dative cui for commodatum and lease (locata).
