Notes

  1. 48.5.29.prQuod ... debetur — The relative pronoun Quod introduces a relative clause with an implied antecedent, serving as the subject of the passive main verb petitur.
  2. 48.5.29.prcondictionem, quae ex lege descendit — The relative pronoun quae has condictionem as its antecedent. The phrase ex lege descendit indicates that this action for debt recovery (condictio) is directly granted based on the statutory provision of the law (condictio ex lege).
