Notes

  1. §33.8.2.prquae — A relative pronoun (neuter plural nominative) whose antecedent (such as ea) is omitted, making the entire relative clause function as the subject of the main verb exstinguuntur.
  2. §33.8.2.prperemptae fuerint — The future perfect passive (third-person plural) of perimo (to destroy, extinguish). In the cum-clause, it denotes a prior completed action/condition relative to the main verb exstinguuntur (present tense expressing a general rule).
