Notes

  1. §7.5.9.prde reddendo usu fructu pecuniae — An ablative phrase introduced by the preposition de. reddendo is a gerundive agreeing with the masculine singular ablative noun usu fructu, expressing the passive/obligatory sense "the usufruct which is to be returned." pecuniae is an objective genitive modifying usu fructu.
  2. §7.5.9.prmortis et capitis deminutionis — These genitives function as appositional or explanatory genitives (genitivus explicativus) defining the subject duo soli casus (only two events). capitis deminutio is a technical Roman law term for "loss or change of status" (decrease of head/caput).
