Notes
- §23.2.37.prprohiberi — The impersonal verb oportet ('ought') takes the accusative and infinitive clause libertum ... prohiberi as its subject. The passive infinitive prohiberi ('to be prohibited') is further complemented by the active infinitive ducere ('to marry') to express the prohibited action.
- §23.2.37.preandem — A feminine accusative singular demonstrative pronoun referring back to the preceding genitive puellae ('girl'). It forms the object of ducere along with uxorem ('to marry the same girl').
