  2. §50.17.143.pripsis qui contraxerunt — *Ipsis* is the dative masculine plural of the demonstrative pronoun *ipse* ("themselves"), serving as the indirect object of the intransitive verb *obstat* which governs the dative case. *Qui contraxerunt* ("who contracted") is a relative clause modifying *ipsis*.
