Notes

  1. §2.14.48.prid ualere — An accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction serving as the subject clause of the impersonal predicate `manifestissimum est` (it is most obvious). The pronoun `id` refers back to the preceding relative clause `quodcumque pactum sit` (whatever has been agreed).
