Notes

  1. 33.2.11.prdeberi constat — The impersonal verb 'constat' (it is established / certain) takes an accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction, with 'legatum' as the subject and 'deberi' (present passive infinitive) as the verb. It indicates that it is a settled legal rule that the bequest of a legacy of habitation becomes due (owed) at the very beginning of each year.
