Summary

Notes
- §23.3.11.prdeteriorem factam — An accusative feminine singular participle phrase, agreeing with the omitted direct object `rem` (referring back to `res` in the preceding section §23.3.10.6). The subject of the main verb `poterit` is the husband (`maritus`), which is also omitted but understood from the context.
- §23.3.11.pret — Used adverbially rather than as a conjunction, meaning "even" or "also," emphasizing the following phrase `deteriorem factam`.
