Notes

  1. §26.10.2.prpuniendus — A gerundive (future passive participle) agreeing with the subject libertus, used with the verb of motion remittetur to express purpose ("to be punished").
  2. §26.10.2.prgessisse — Perfect infinitive. It forms part of the nominative with infinitive (NCI) construction with the passive main verb probetur, where libertus acts as its logical subject. It denotes an action prior to the time of the main verb.
