Notes

  1. 22.1.49.prpignori dare licere — The infinitive 'licere' (from the impersonal verb 'licet', to be allowed) is used substantively as a complement to the subject 'fructus' via the copula 'est'. 'Pignori' is the dative of 'pignus' (pledge), and 'pignori dare' is a legal idiom meaning 'to give in pledge' or 'to establish a pledge'.
