[MARCELLUS in the twenty-sixth book of the Digests.]
Haec autem satisdatio locum habet, si impubes1 decessit. sed etsi de pupillo loquitur,2 tamen hoc et in pupilla obseruandum est.

In this context, it refers to the adrogated minor. Although the subject is not explicitly stated beforehand, the adjective impubes (one under the age of puberty) functions as the subject of decessit, forming the condition of the main clause.
- 1.7.20.prloquitur
