Notes

  1. 27.7.2.prPostulare tutorem uidetur et qui per alium postulat — The verb uidetur is used in a personal passive construction, where the implied antecedent (is) of the relative clause 'qui per alium postulat' serves as its subject. It is accompanied by the infinitive postulare ('to demand'). The subsequent clause 'item nominare...' shares the same structure with uidetur elided.
