Notes
- §16.1.18.prIdem — The main verb (such as est, erit, or dicendum est) is omitted, meaning "the same rule applies" or "the same is to be said." It refers to the decision in the preceding fragment (17.2) regarding the limit of a woman's liability and the application of the exception under the senatusconsultum when she jointly intercedes.
- §16.1.18.prduo rei — Abbreviation for duo rei debendi (or promittendi). In Roman law, it refers to "joint (and several) debtors," where each party is liable for the entire performance of the same obligation.
