​Diem functo legato1 Caesaris salarium comitibus residui temporis, quod a legatis praestitutum est,2 debetur, modo si non postea comites cum aliis eodem tempore fuerunt. diuersum in eo seruatur, qui3 successorem ante tempus accepit.

​If an imperial legate dies, the salary for the remaining time, which was fixed by the legates, is due to his attendants, provided that the attendants have not subsequently been with others during the same period. A different rule is observed in the case of one who has received a successor before his term.

Syntax notes3 items
  1. 1.22.4.prdiem functo legato

    diem functo is the dative perfect participle of the idiom diem fungi (to finish one's days, i.e., to die), modifying legato Caesaris. It functions as a dative of interest/reference in relation to comitibus (i.e., 'to the attendants of the deceased legate').

  2. 1.22.4.prquod a legatis praestitutum est

    The relative pronoun quod (neuter singular nominative) has salarium as its antecedent. The plural legatis refers to the legates generally, or to the rate predetermined by the legates for their entourage.

  3. 1.22.4.prdiuersum in eo seruatur, qui

    eo (masculine singular ablative) is the antecedent of the relative pronoun qui and refers to the legate who was replaced before his term ended (but remains alive). In his case, a different rule (diuersum) is observed regarding the liability for his attendants' salaries.
