Notes

  1. §34.7.4.prPlacet ... non pertinere — The impersonal verb placet ('it is agreed/accepted') takes the accusative and infinitive (AcI) clause Catonis regulam ... non pertinere as its subject, where Catonis regulam is the subject accusative of pertinere.
  2. §34.7.4.prcondicionales institutiones — Here institutiones refers to heredis institutiones (institutions of an heir). It indicates that the Catonian rule does not apply to the designation of heirs made under a condition.
