It stipulates that, in accordance with a letter of the divine Hadrian, the prefect of the city can be approached even in pecuniary disputes, whether initiated by bankers or directed against them.
[PAULUS libro singulari de officio praefecti urbi.]
[PAULUS, in his single book On the Office of the Prefect of the City.]
Adiri etiam ab argentariis uel aduersus eos ex epistula diui Hadriani et in pecuniariis causis potest.1
He can also be approached, in accordance with a letter of the divine Hadrian, even in pecuniary cases, either by bankers or against them.
- 1.12.2.prAdiri... potest
adiri is the passive infinitive of adire (to approach, petition, or bring a case before the prefect). The phrase adiri potest can be construed impersonally ("it is possible to approach [the prefect]") or with the omitted subject praefectus ("he [the prefect] can be approached"). In either interpretation, it establishes the prefect's jurisdiction over pecuniary disputes involving bankers, whether they are plaintiffs (ab argentariis) or defendants (aduersus eos).
