   the present with the past value of property at that time, i. e. with
   the property serving as a qualification at the time nhen thz
   change is occurring (thopias vopbparos ytyuopivp). The words
   are placed after Karl iuiaurb by Susemihl following the authority of
   IViIliam of Moerbek, but the meaning is thus over emphasized.
