Callistratus states that women are regarded as excluded from the office of a banker because it is a masculine occupation.
[CALLISTRATUS libro primo edicti monitorii.]
[CALLISTRATUS, Monitory Edict, book 1]
Feminae remotae uidentur1 ab officio argentarii, cum ea opera uirilis sit.2
Women are regarded as excluded from the office of a banker, since that work is masculine.
- 2.13.12.prremotae uidentur
uidentur is the third-person plural present passive of uideo, taking the nominative subject complement remotae (nominative plural feminine of the adjective remotus, "excluded, removed"). In juridical Latin, the passive uideor often signifies not a mere subjective appearance ("seem, appear") but a normative determination ("are deemed, are regarded as").
- 2.13.12.prea opera uirilis sit
The conjunction cum introduces a causal clause with the subjunctive sit (third-person singular present subjunctive of sum). ea opera ("that work/labor", nominative singular feminine) is the subject, and uirilis ("manly, of a man") is the predicate adjective.
