Notes

4.8.45.prpersonae insertum — The perfect passive participle "insertum" modifies the subject "arbitrium" (neuter). "personae" is in the dative, dependent on "insertum". The phrase signifies that the power of arbitration is specifically limited or tied to the named person.
4.8.45.prpersonam non egreditur — Literally "does not go beyond the person." This clause expresses the legal principle of the personal nature of the arbitrator's office, meaning that the assigned power of decision cannot be transferred to deputies or inherited by successors.
