Notes

  1. §25.2.14.prpermittendum — A gerundive with an omitted "esse", expressing obligation or necessity ("should be permitted"). The dative "marito uel uxori" functions as the dative of agent or interest, and the infinitives "deferre" and "probare" serve as the subject clauses under this construction.
  2. §25.2.14.prde quibusdam... de quibusdam — The former "de quibusdam rebus" (regarding certain things) and the subsequent "de quibusdam" (regarding others) are used in contrast, indicating that the method of proof (tendering an oath versus regular proof) varies depending on the nature of the items in question.
