Notes
- §48.22.2.prManumittere deportatum non posse — This is an accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) clause acting as the object of rescripsit. The subject of posse is not explicitly expressed, implying a general subject ('one cannot' or 'it is not possible to'). The word deportatum (a deported person) is the direct object of the active infinitive manumittere (to manumit).
