Notes

  1. §50.6.5.preo iure, ut ad posteros transmitterentur — The ablative of the demonstrative pronoun eo anticipates the following ut-clause. The ablative of quality/condition "eo iure" (under such a right/condition) is explained appositively by the ut-clause with the imperfect subjunctive "transmitterentur".
  2. §50.6.5.prsuccedentibus — A substantivized present participle of succedere in the dative plural, meaning "successors" or "heirs". It depends on the verb durant (endure), functioning as a dative of advantage or reference ("for/in relation to the successors").
