Notes

  1. §13.7.32.prcontraria pigneraticia — The feminine noun 'actione' (ablative) or 'actionem' (accusative) is understood, which, combined with 'agere', means 'to bring the contrary action (on pledge)'.
  2. §13.7.32.prsoluendo debitor sit — 'soluendo' is the dative of the gerundive 'soluendus', indicating purpose or suitability. The phrase 'soluendo esse' is a legal idiom meaning 'to be solvent' (literally, 'to be fit for paying').
