Notes

§32.0.56.prredigendi sunt — This is a passive periphrastic conjugation consisting of the gerundive and the present tense of esse, denoting obligation or necessity. The subject is the compound subject of pali (masculine) and perticae (feminine), with the gerundive redigendi taking the masculine plural to agree with the masculine noun.
