  1. 6.2.10.prpeculiari nomine — An ablative phrase meaning 'in the name of the peculium' or 'under the head of the peculium,' referring to transactions made by a slave on the account of the separate property (peculium) granted by the master.
  2. 6.2.10.prsiue peculiari nomine seruus emerit siue non. — This fragment is a grammatically incomplete clause that connects back to the preceding section (§6.2.9.6), specifying that the application of the Publician action for purchases by slaves of an inheritance or a municipality holds true regardless of whether the transaction was made using their peculium.
