Notes

  1. §32.0.84.prCui ... ei — The dative relative pronoun cui is placed at the beginning of the sentence, with its antecedent, the dative demonstrative pronoun ei in the main clause, positioned later. The core structure is: to him (ei), to whom (cui) [things] have been bequeathed, those things (quae) which were stored are also due.
  2. §32.0.84.prcustodiae causa — The genitive custodiae modifies the postposed ablative causa (for the sake of, for the purpose of), forming an adverbial phrase of purpose.
