implicit use of "ser"

Is it valid to leave "ser" out in some cases where it is can be assumed, implicitly?
I saw the following in my Spanish dictionary:
Los verbos irregulares se encuentran en el diccionario por orden alfabético remitidos al infinitivo
It seems to me "son" is implied here before "remitidos"?

The building was enormous, built entirely from ......
Eldrege Cleaver was a political activist, born in ....
We use past participles like that (adjective phrases or clauses) all of the time.

Ah thanks, I wasn't thinking about it like that... Had there been a comma as in your examples, it would have read better for me. - tomsky, Sep 17, 2011

I don't think that it would make sense with ser in there would it? Unless I'm making a mistake in translating 'remetidos' which is quite possible je je 
The irregular verbs are found in the dictionary in alphabetical order under the infinitive.

Yes, I was being a little silly in misreading it. But that sounds good. - tomsky, Sep 17, 2011
