Notes
- §47.2.63.prqui fugitiuo iter monstrauit — The antecedent (such as is) which would serve as the subject of the main verb committit is omitted, and the clause introduced by the relative pronoun qui functions as the subject. The noun fugitiuo is in the dative case as the indirect object of the verb monstrauit.
