Notes

  1. §50.16.175.prFaciendi — The genitive of the gerund facere ('to do/make'), modifying uerbo ('in the word'). It indicates that the legal concept of 'doing' encompasses 'restoring'.
  2. §50.16.175.prcausa — Modified by the genitive gerund reddendi ('of restoring'), here causa does not merely mean 'cause' or 'reason' but 'case', 'matter', or 'ground', referring to the legal situation in which restoration is required.
