Birth of Triplets and Definition of Thrice-Delivered

Notes

1. §50.16.137.pruidetur — The passive form of the verb uideo, used here in the copulative sense of 'is deemed' or 'is considered'. The subject is the implied feminine antecedent of the relative clause (quae...), while 'Ter enixa' ('one who has given birth three times') functions as the predicate nominative. Thus, the structure is 'she who has given birth to triplets (quae...) is also considered to be one who has given birth three times'.
2. §50.16.137.prpepererit — The third-person singular subjunctive perfect (or future perfect indicative) of pario ('to bring forth', 'to give birth to'). The subjunctive is used in the relative clause of characteristic or definition to denote a hypothetical case ('such a woman as has given birth').
