Notes

  1. §13.4.6.praut — This conjunction introduces a second condition parallel to the conditional clause (Si hares...) in the preceding D. 13.4.5.pr. Thus, in this context, it functions as `aut si` (or if), depending on the main clause in the previous fragment "a discretionary action is available" (arbitraria actio competit).
  2. §13.4.6.prsic data fuerit, ut — A correlative construction consisting of the adverb `sic` (in such a manner) and the conjunction `ut` introducing a subjunctive clause. It indicates that the money was delivered "on the condition that" it would be returned. `data fuerit` is a perfect passive form, representing a prior completed action within the conditional structure.
