Notes

  1. §44.3.9.prcauetur, ut — The passive third-person singular form of caveo (to provide, decree), "cauetur", is used impersonally to introduce a noun clause with the conjunction "ut" (accompanied by the present subjunctive "sit"), meaning "it is provided that...".
  2. §44.3.9.prpraescriptioni — The dative singular of the noun "praescriptio" (prescription, defense), functioning as the complement of "locus est" (there is room for) to express that the defense of long possession is applicable.
