Notes

  1. 24.1.43.prexilii causa — Although the genitive with causa often expresses purpose ("for the sake of"), here it indicates the exceptional cause or occasion ("on account of exile" or "in the event of exile") that justifies an exception to the prohibition of donations between husband and wife (donatio inter uirum et uxorem).
