Notes

§48.19.7.prfustium, admonitio: flagellorum, castigatio: uinculorum, uerberatio — These noun phrases are presented in parentheses as concrete examples of the 'bodily coercion (coercitio corporis)' mentioned at the end of the preceding section (§48.19.6.2). The genitives fustium and flagellorum modify the subsequent nouns admonitio (admonition) and castigatio (chastisement), respectively, indicating the instrument or means. uinculorum (confinement, literally 'of chains') and uerberatio (flogging) are coordinated as independent categories of punishment.
