Notes

  1. §45.1.42.prdari — An infinitive serving as the complement of stipulatus sit (has stipulated). It is in the passive voice, meaning "to be given", while the specific subject of the infinitive (the thing to be given) is omitted as understood from context.
  2. §45.1.42.prnisi omnibus partibus praeteritis — An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun omnibus partibus and praeteritis (perfect passive participle of praeterire). Combined with the conjunction nisi (unless), it introduces a negative condition: "unless all parts have passed." The genitives anni uel mensis modify partibus.
