Notes

  1. §47.2.29.pragi — A passive infinitive used impersonally here, indicating that "proceedings can be taken" or "an action can be brought" without a specific grammatical subject.
  2. §47.2.29.prad exhibendum — A gerund construction with the preposition ad expressing purpose. In Roman legal practice, this elliptical expression refers directly to the action for production (actio ad exhibendum).
  3. §47.2.29.printerdicto quorum bonorum — Ablative singular of interdictum, functioning as an ablative of means. It refers to the interdict quorum bonorum used by an estate possessor (bonorum possessor) to recover estate property from other possessors.
