Notes

  1. §50.17.58.prin patrem de peculio actio dari — The noun phrase 'actio de peculio' (action on the peculium) serves as the subject, accompanied by the passive infinitive 'dari' (to be granted), forming the complement clause of the semi-impersonal verb 'solet' (it is customary). The prepositional phrase 'in patrem' indicates the target of the action (the defendant), namely 'against the father'.
