Notes

  1. §24.1.45.preum detrahere — An accusative with infinitive construction acting as the object of the main verb scribit. The accusative pronoun eum refers back to the husband (uir) in the context.
  2. §24.1.45.prquod detrahentibus negotiationis causa occurrit — A relative clause where the relative pronoun quod (nominative neuter singular) refers to senatus consulti (genitive of the neuter noun senatus consultum). The intransitive verb occurrit governs the dative participle detrahentibus used substantively.
