This section states that even if senators are deemed to have a domicile in the City of Rome, they are also understood to retain their domicile in their place of origin, because their elevated rank adds to their status rather than replacing it.
[PAULUS libro quadragensimo primo ad edictum.]
[PAUL, On the Edict, book 41]
Senatores licet1 in urbe domicilium habere uideantur, tamen et ibi,2 unde oriundi sunt, habere domicilium intelleguntur, quia dignitas3 domicilii adiectionem potius dedisse quam permutasse uidetur.
Although senators may seem to have their domicile in the City, they are nevertheless understood to have their domicile also in the place from which they originate, because the dignity of their rank is seen to have given an addition to their domicile rather than a change of it.
- 1.9.11.prlicet
Used as a concessive conjunction governing the subjunctive uideantur (third-person plural present). It means "although" or "even if".
- 1.9.11.pret ibi
Here, et is not the coordinating conjunction "and", but is used adverbially in the sense of "also" or "even", modifying ibi ("in that place").
- 1.9.11.prdignitas
The subject of the main clause within the causal quia-clause. It refers to the social and legal "dignity" or "status" associated with being a senator, which serves as the logical subject of the perfect infinitives dedisse and permutasse via uidetur.
