Passage 542 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It explains that an agent with general administration is also deemed to have the mandate to pay the creditors.

[IDEM libro decimo ad Plautium. ] §3.3.59.prSed et id quoque ei mandari uidetur, ut soluat creditoribus.
[THE SAME in the tenth book on Plautius.] But this also is deemed to be mandated to him, namely, that he should pay the creditors.

Notes

  1. §3.3.59.prid... ut soluat — The demonstrative pronoun id anticipates (proleptically) the content of the following ut clause (ut soluat creditoribus) and functions as the subject of the personal construction with uidetur and the infinitive mandari.
  2. §3.3.59.prei — A dative pronoun referring back to the agent (procurator) who is the subject of the preceding chunk (§3.3.58.pr).
