Summary
Marcellus presents the interpretation that the term 'of the remaining' can, depending on the context, signify all people.
Notes
- §50.16.95.pret uniuersos — Here et is not a coordinating conjunction ('and'), but functions adverbially to modify uniuersos, meaning 'even' or 'also'. uniuersos is the masculine accusative plural of the adjective uniuersus used substantively to mean 'all people' or 'everyone', acting as the direct object of the infinitive significare.
- §50.16.95.prappellatio — A nominative noun serving as the subject of the verb potest. The preceding genitive reliquorum functions as an appositional (definitive) genitive, specifying the term itself: 'the designation of the remaining'.
