Emperor Trajan's rescript to Minicius Natalis rules that while holidays exempt people from forensic business, military matters such as the trial of persons under custody must still be conducted.
[ULPIANUS libro septimo de officio proconsulis.]
[ULPIANUS, On the Office of Proconsul, book 7]
Diuus Traianus Minicio Natali rescripsit1 ferias a forensibus tantum negotiis dare uacationem, ea autem, quae ad disciplinam militarem pertinent, etiam feriatis diebus peragenda: inter quae custodiarum quoque cognitionem2 esse.
The Divine Trajan wrote in a rescript to Minicius Natalis that holidays grant exemption only from forensic business, but those matters which pertain to military discipline must be carried out even on holidays; among which is also the trial of those under custody.
- 2.12.9.prrescripsit
The verb rescripsit (wrote back in a rescript) governs three accusative with infinitive (AcI) clauses in indirect discourse: first, ferias ... dare; second, ea ... peragenda (with esse omitted); third, within the relative clause, inter quae ... cognitionem esse.
- 2.12.9.prcustodiarum ... cognitionem
custodiarum is the genitive plural of custodia (custody, guard), here referring to "persons in custody" (prisoners), acting as an objective genitive. Together with cognitio (judicial inquiry, trial), it means "the trial of those in custody," which is categorized under military discipline (disciplina militaris) and thus to be processed even on holidays.
