Notes

  1. 35.2.72.prdeducto etiam eo — An ablative absolute construction with the neuter pronoun eo serving as the logical subject. This eo is further defined by the subsequent relative clause introduced by quidquid, meaning "after that also, whatever is expended, has been deducted."
  2. 35.2.72.prexplicandarum uenditionum causa — A gerundive construction where the gerundive explicandarum agrees with the noun uenditionum, combined with causa (+ genitive) to express purpose ("for the purpose of carrying out the sales").
