Notes
- 4.8.48.prarbiter ad ferendam sententiam non compelletur — This section serves as the apodosis (consequent clause) to the protasis (conditional clause) in the preceding section D. 4.8.47.1 (si alter ex compromittentibus furere coeperit,). Because the compilers joined passages from different jurists (Julianus and Modestinus), a single conditional sentence spans across these sections. 'compelletur' (future passive third-person singular of 'compello') is a future of ruling, expressing a legal consequence.
- 4.8.48.prad ferendam sententiam — An expression of purpose or direction using the preposition 'ad' with a gerundive. The gerundive 'ferendam' agrees in gender, number, and case with 'sententiam' (accusative feminine singular). The phrase functions to specify the action to which the arbitrator is not compelled ('to pronounce an award').
