Paulus explains the nature of delegated jurisdiction and cites Labeo's opinion that if the delegator of jurisdiction dies before the delegatee begins the task, the delegation is dissolved, as in other cases.
[PAULUS libro secundo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, On the Edict, Book II]
et quia nec principaliter ei1 iurisdictio data est nec ipsa lex defert, sed confirmat mandatam iurisdictionem. ideoque si is, qui mandauit iurisdictionem, decesserit, antequam res ab eo, cui mandata est iurisdictio, geri coeperit, solui mandatum Labeo ait,2 sicut in reliquis causis.
And because jurisdiction is neither originally given to him, nor does the law itself bestow it, but merely confirms the delegated jurisdiction. Therefore, if he who delegated the jurisdiction should die before the matter has begun to be managed by him to whom the jurisdiction was delegated, Labeo says that the delegation is dissolved, just as in other cases.
- 2.1.6.prei
The dative pronoun ei refers in context (continuing from D. 2.1.5) to the person to whom jurisdiction has been delegated (is cui mandata est iurisdictio). This pronoun establishes logical continuity from the preceding fragment.
- 2.1.6.prsolui mandatum Labeo ait
Labeo ait constitutes the main clause, governing the accusative with infinitive construction [mandatum solui]. solui is the present passive infinitive of solvere (to dissolve, release), and mandatum is its subject accusative.
