This section rules that if a province is divided, a person originating from one of the resulting provinces may serve as an assessor in the other, without being deemed to have served in his own province.
[MACER libro primo de officio praesidis.]
[MACER, On the Office of the Governor, Book One.]
Si eadem prouincia postea diuisa sub duobus praesidibus constituta est, uelut Germania, Mysia, ex altera ortus in altera1 adsidebit nec uidetur in sua prouincia adsedisse.2
If the same province has subsequently been divided and placed under two governors, as for example Germany or Moesia, a person originating from one part will serve as an assessor in the other, and is not deemed to have served as an assessor in his own province.
- 1.22.3.prex altera ortus in altera
altera refers back to the preceding feminine noun prouincia, designating "one" and "the other" of the two divided provinces. ortus (the perfect participle of orior), in the nominative masculine singular, is used substantively as the subject of the main clause, meaning "one who originates from [one of the two provinces]."
- 1.22.3.prnec uidetur ... adsedisse
uidetur is used in a personal construction with the subject ortus ("he is deemed [not] to..."), taking the perfect infinitive adsedisse (from adsideo) to mean "he is not deemed to have served as an assessor in his own province."
