Notes

  1. §38.1.21.prloco — Ablative of place without the preposition in, which is omitted because the noun is modified and restricted by the relative clause ubi...
  2. §38.1.21.prsumptu... et uectura patroni — The nouns sumptu and uectura are ablatives of means or price/expense, indicating the financial conditions under which the services must be rendered (edi debent). patroni is a subjective genitive modifying these nouns, meaning that the patron must bear the cost.
