Duty to Provide Security to Each of Multiple Substitutes
Summary
Stipulates that if there are multiple substitutes, security must be provided for each of them individually.
Notes
- §2.8.13.prsingulis cauendum est — The phrase cauendum est is an impersonal passive periphrastic construction using the gerundive to express obligation. The word singulis is the dative case (indirect object or dative of advantage) meaning "to/for each individual substitute." The agent who must provide the security, though not explicitly stated here, is understood from the context of the preceding section (2.8.12.pr) to be the conditional heir.
