Notes

  1. §35.2.42.prex ueritate — A combination of the preposition ex (according to, based on) and the ablative of the noun ueritas (truth, reality). While 'according to truth' is the literal translation, here it means that the valuation must be made based on 'objective market value' or 'actual value,' rather than subjective estimates or fictitious prices.
