Notes

  1. §43.33.2.prerit eis descendendum — The gerundive `descendendum` is used impersonally to express necessity or obligation with the dative of agent `eis` (them, i.e., the two co-owners). The phrase `descendere ad iudicium` is a legal idiom meaning to proceed or descend to a full trial from the interlocutory interdict procedure.
