Notes

  1. §23.3.54.pruidentur — The third-person plural present passive indicative of the verb uideri (to seem, to be considered), used here in a personal construction (nominative with infinitive) agreeing with the subject res. In Roman legal discourse, uideri regularly functions as a technical term meaning "to be legally deemed/considered" or "to be treated as having the legal character of," rather than expressing mere subjective appearance.
