Summary

Notes
- §41.1.17.prtradiderit — While the subject is the plural duo domini, the verb is in the singular tradiderit. This may be a scribal error for the plural tradiderint, or it suggests the omission of unus ex (meaning 'if one of the two masters').
- §41.1.17.pradquirit — The subject of the verb adquirit is not explicitly stated, but contextually it is the seruus communis (common slave), indicating that the slave acts as the intermediary to acquire property for the masters.
