This section rules that a provincial governor must not leave his province except to fulfill a vow, and even then, he is not permitted to stay overnight outside his province.
[MARCIANUS libro primo de iudiciis publicis.]
[MARCIANUS, in the first book on Public Judgments.]
Illud obseruandum est, ne qui prouinciam regit fines eius excedat nisi uoti soluendi causa,1 dum tamen abnoctare ei non liceat.2
The following must be observed, that he who governs a province must not exceed its boundaries, except for the purpose of fulfilling a vow, provided however that he is not permitted to stay out overnight.
- 1.18.15.pruoti soluendi causa
A gerundive construction expressing purpose, where the genitive gerundive soluendi agrees with the genitive noun uoti, both being governed by the postpositional ablative causa.
- 1.18.15.prdum tamen abnoctare ei non liceat
The conjunction dum introduces a proviso clause ("provided that"), which requires the subjunctive mood (liceat). The infinitive abnoctare here specifically means to spend the night outside the province.
