Punishment and Restitution for Doctors Extorting Patients

Notes

1. §50.13.3.prcui curandos suos oculos qui eis laborabat commiserat — A double relative clause construction where the relative clause qui eis laborabat is nested inside the clause cui ... commiserat. The antecedent of qui is the omitted subject of commiserat (identical to the aeger, "patient", in the main result clause). eis is the ablative plural referring to oculos, serving as the object of laborare ("to suffer from"). curandos is a gerundive agreeing with the accusative noun oculos, expressing purpose ("to be cured").
2. §50.13.3.prcompulit, ut ei possessiones suas contra fidem bonam aeger uenderet — The object of compulit (whose subject is medicus) is expressed not as an accusative (aegrum) but as the nominative subject (aeger) of the subsequent ut-clause. ei refers to the medicus (physician), while suas is a reflexive possessive pronoun referring to the subject of the ut-clause, aeger (the patient).
