Notes

  1. §8.6.3.pruolgo traditum est — The impersonal passive expression traditum est (it is handed down) combined with the adverb uolgo (commonly) takes the accusative with infinitive (AcI) clause Iura praediorum... non perire as its subject clause.
  2. §8.6.3.prcapitis deminutione — A technical term of Roman law meaning 'loss or change of civil status' (literally 'deminution of the head'). It is in the ablative case, functioning alongside morte to denote the cause of perire (to perish).
