  1. §43.24.19.prfilio familias colono — Datives governed by the intransitive verb "competere" (to be available). "filio familias" (son-in-power) and "colono" (tenant) are in apposition, designating a single person who holds both legal statuses simultaneously.
  2. §43.24.19.prarboribus succisis — An ablative absolute consisting of the noun "arbor" (tree) and the perfect passive participle "succisus" (cut down) of "succidere", expressing the condition or prerequisite circumstance ("when trees have been cut down").
