Notes

  1. 30.1.7.prLegatum seruo delatum — delatum is the perfect passive participle (neuter accusative singular) of deferre ('to confer' or 'to offer'), modifying legatum. seruo is the dative of recipient modifying delatum. The entire phrase serves as the object of the infinitive repudiare, which depends on the main verb potest.
