Notes

  1. §26.6.3.pret ipsum magistratum — The conjunction et functions adverbially here, meaning "even" or "also" (equivalent to etiam). ipsum magistratum (the magistrate himself) is the subject accusative of the infinitive dari potuisse in the accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction introduced by the main verb respondi, with curatorem acting as its predicate.
