  2. 26.7.4.prdiuisa — A perfect participle with the preceding feminine noun administratio or tutela as its subject, forming the predicate of the conditional clause with fuerit.
  3. 26.7.4.prexceptione summouebitur — Third-person singular future passive of the verb summouere (to remove, bar). It indicates that when sued for a part they do not administer, the defendant tutor can have the claim dismissed by presenting an "exception" (exceptio).
