Notes

  1. §50.2.1.prquos ... transmigrasse probabitur — The relative pronoun "quos" refers back to the antecedent "decuriones" and functions as the subject accusative of the infinitive "transmigrasse" within the relative clause. The verb "probabitur" is the third-person singular future passive, used impersonally ("it will be proved that..."), taking the accusative-with-infinitive construction as its subject.
  2. §50.2.1.prsedibus ciuitatis, ad quam pertinent, relictis — An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun "sedibus" and the perfect passive participle "relictis", within which is embedded the genitive "ciuitatis", modified by the relative clause "ad quam pertinent".
