Definition of Summoning to Court to Test a Right

Notes

1. §2.4.1.prIn ius uocare — The infinitive `uocare` functions substantively as the subject of the sentence. `in ius` is an accusative of direction meaning "to court" (literally, "into the law/before the magistrate"), denoting the formal summons to initiate legal proceedings.
2. §2.4.1.priuris experiundi causa — A gerundive construction where the gerundive `experiundi` agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun `iuris` (neuter genitive singular), governed by the postposition `causa` expressing purpose. The verb `experiri` here means to try, test, or assert in court, hence "for the purpose of trying one's legal right."
