Notes

  1. §25.1.2.pruel in ualetudinem seruorum impenderit — This verb in the future perfect (or perfect subjunctive) is coordinated with the verbs in the conditional clause governed by si (refecerit, restaurauerit, praestiterit) from Fulcinius's statement in the previous chunk (§25.1.1.3). The subject is the husband. The term ualetudinem (health, physical condition) here refers to the medical treatment or care of sick slaves, indicating that such expenses are classified as necessary.
