    Comments: The third person imperative form ψηφισάτω in {S:06601301800016} is extremely difficult to render in some languages, and even in English the expression ‘let him understand’ is quite misleading, since it might imply permission rather than polite command. In some languages the equivalent of this third person imperative is an expression such as ‘should understand’ or ‘ought to be able to understand.’ For another interpretation of {L:ψηφίζω} in {S:06601301800016}, see {D:60.4}.
