Notes

  1. §2.13.11.prreceptum est — An impersonal passive expression of the verb `recipere` in the perfect tense, meaning "it is accepted" or "it is established" in legal practice. It takes the preceding accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) clause `Exempla... edi posse` as its grammatical subject.
  2. §2.13.11.predentis — The genitive of the present participle `edens` (the person producing), functioning as a subjective genitive modifying the noun `subscriptione`. It semantically expresses the subject of the action of signing: "the signing by the producer."
