Notes

  1. §15.1.12.prcum eo agi potest — A passive impersonal construction of 'agere cum aliquo' (to bring an action against someone). Literally, 'it can be sued with him,' meaning 'an action can be brought against him.'
  2. §15.1.12.prpenes quem — The preposition 'penes' governs the accusative and means 'in the possession of' or 'in the hands of.' Here it refers to a partner who does not physically hold or manage the peculium.
