Notes

  1. §35.1.13.prexplesse — A syncopated form of the perfect active infinitive expleuisse, serving as the complementary infinitive with the main verb uidetur.
  2. §35.1.13.prcuratori uel tutori dando — dando is the gerund in the ablative case, expressing means ("by giving"). The datives curatori (curator) and tutori (tutor) correspond respectively to furioso (madman) and pupillo (ward) mentioned earlier in the text.
