[MODESTINUS libro quinto regularum.]
[MODESTINUS, in the fifth book of Rules.]
Plebi scito1 continetur, ut ne quis2 praesidum munus donum caperet nisi esculentum potulentumue, quod intra dies proximos prodigatur.3
It is provided in a plebiscitum that no governor shall accept any present or gift, except food or drink that is to be consumed within the next few days.
- 1.18.18.prPlebi scito
A split spelling of the ablative singular of "plebiscitum" (plebiscide). Here it functions as an ablative of place or means with "continetur" (it is contained/provided in...).
- 1.18.18.prut ne quis
A noun clause introduced by "ut ne" representing the content of "continetur". The combination "ut ne" is used for negative purpose or decree clauses, followed by the indefinite pronoun "quis" (anyone, meaning "no one" with the negative). The imperfect subjunctive "caperet" is used due to the sequence of tenses, treating "continetur" as a historical present referencing a past decree.
- 1.18.18.prprodigatnr
A typographical or scribal error for "prodigatur" (third-person singular present passive subjunctive of "prodigo"). It is in a relative clause modifying "esculentum potulentumue" and is in the subjunctive mood to express characteristic or restriction (such as to be consumed).
