Cassius Longinus opines that a person removed from the senate for infamous conduct and not restored must not be allowed to act as a judge or give testimony, pursuant to the Julian law on extortion.
[MARCELLUS libro tertio digestorum.]
[MARCELLUS, Digests, book 3]
Cassius Longinus non putat ei permittendum,1 qui propter turpitudinem senatu motus2 nec restitutus est, iudicare uel testimonium dicere, quia lex Iulia repetundarum3 hoc fieri uetat.
Cassius Longinus does not think that it should be permitted to a person who, on account of an infamous conduct, has been removed from the senate and not restored, to act as a judge or to give testimony, because the Julian law on extortion forbids this to be done.
- 1.9.2.prei permittendum
The auxiliary verb 'esse' is omitted in the accusative-with-infinitive construction (permittendum esse). 'ei' is a dative (indirect object of 'permittere') serving as the antecedent of the relative clause, while the real subject of the gerundive is the subsequent infinitive phrase 'iudicare uel testimonium dicere'.
- 1.9.2.prsenatu motus
senatu is an ablative of separation depending on 'motus', the perfect participle of 'movere' (to remove, expel).
- 1.9.2.prlex Iulia repetundarum
repetundarum is the genitive plural feminine of the gerundive 'repetundus' used substantively, referring to recovery of extorted funds. It functions as a limiting (objective) genitive modifying 'lex Iulia'.
