Defines "the son of a senator" as including both natural and adopted sons, regardless of the adoption process or whether the son was received before or after the father attained senatorial status.
[ULPIANUS libro primo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam.]
[ULPIAN, On the Lex Julia et Papia, book 1]
Senatoris filium accipere1 debemus non tantum eum qui naturalis est, uerum adoptiuum quoque: neque intererit, a quo uel qualiter adoptatus fuerit nec interest, iam in senatoria dignitate constitutus eum susceperit2 an ante dignitatem senatoriam.
We ought to understand “the son of a senator” to mean not only him who is a natural son, but also an adopted one; and it will make no difference by whom or in what manner he was adopted, nor does it matter whether the father, already established in the senatorial dignity, received him, or did so before obtaining the senatorial dignity.
- 1.9.5.praccipere
Here, accipere means "to understand" or "to interpret," used in the context of statutory interpretation to define the scope of a specific legal term.
- 1.9.5.priam in senatoria dignitate constitutus eum susceperit
The subject of both the nominative perfect participle constitutus and the perfect subjunctive susceperit is the father (the senator), who is omitted from the context. suscipere refers to acknowledging or receiving a newborn child as one's own.
