Notes

  1. §46.8.19.prratam rem dominum habiturum — An accusative with infinitive construction acting as the object of cauet (with esse omitted). dominum is the subject accusative, and rem is the object of ratum habere (to ratify).
  2. §46.8.19.printersit stipulatoris — The impersonal verb interest takes a genitive (stipulatoris) to express the person to whom something is of interest or importance.
  3. §46.8.19.pridemque iuris — A combination of the neuter singular demonstrative idem with the partitive genitive iuris, meaning "the same rule of law."
