Instaed of 'forced himself to pay' I would translate 'let himself pay' or 'agreed to pay'. The phrase "forced himself" is a little too strong I think. In the source there was used a milder word "submisit". Best regards!

In latin "solvere" can mean "to pay a debt" and not to forced to pay.

Jedi, Cicalina the whole phrase submisit se solvere translated forced himself to pay, (not only "solvere" ). I agree with her conception, but I would only use milder word instad of "forced".
Well, I don't agree that "solvere" means "to pay a debt".
First meanings are: to loosen, untie, release, free, dissolve, break,
further meaning is: to pay

But, you would be right if we had here versuram solvere, what just means to pay a debt.

And also is it "marche"? or "mark"?
