Notes

  1. §48.6.2.prquae ... obuenerint — The relative pronoun quae (neuter plural) performs different grammatical roles in the two coordinated relative clauses. In the first clause quae quis ... habuerit, it is the direct object (accusative) of habuerit. In the second clause ... ei obuenerint, it acts as the subject (nominative) of the intransitive verb obuenerint. The pronoun ei (dative) refers back to the subject quis of the first clause.
