Notes

  1. §12.1.25.prin pecuniam — The preposition in with the accusative. Here it means "in respect of" or "up to the amount of," indicating that the privilege of recovery is restricted or directed to the specific money that was lent.
  2. §12.1.25.prexigendi — The genitive of the gerund of the verb exigo (to exact, recover), which modifies the noun priuilegium to form "the privilege of recovery (or exaction)."
