'''F'''. Each ''decurio'' shall be responsible for giving particular assistance and encouragement to members of his or her ''decuria''.

'''G'''. In the event of the unavailability, incapacity, or resignation of both ''magistri'', the responsibilities and powers of the ''magistri'' shall pass to the decurio of the first ''decuria'' (or, in the case of his or her unavailability, incapacity, or resignation, to the ''decurio'' of the second ''decuria'', and so on), who shall as quickly as possible organize elections to replace the ''magistri''.
