Notes

  1. §19.2.26.prconuenit — The impersonal verb conuenit can mean either "it is agreed" (by contract) or "it is fitting/proper" (according to legal principles). Here, in the context of double leasing of services, it indicates the rule or agreement that satisfaction (satisfieri, i.e., performance of the services) must be rendered first to the prior lessee (priori conductori).
  2. §19.2.26.prsatisfieri — The passive infinitive of satisfacio (to satisfy, discharge an obligation), used here impersonally with the dative complement priori conductori. It means that the performance of the service or fulfillment of the obligation is to be rendered first to the prior lessee.
