  1. 27.1.9.prtutela — The noun tutela is in the ablative singular, used with the passive verb excusabitur to express the object of exemption or separation (ablative of separation).
  2. 27.1.9.prcollegarum filiorum — A sequence of two genitive plurals where collegarum ("of colleagues") modifies filiorum ("of sons"), which in turn modifies tutela ("tutelage"), forming a nested structure of possessive genitives.
