A rescript of Emperor Antoninus to Avidius Cassius stating that if creditors are willing to accept a portion of the property, priority must be given to suitable necessary persons.
[PAPIRIUS IUSTUS libro octauo constitutionum.]
[PAPIRIUS IUSTUS in the eighth book of the Constitutions.]
Imperator Antoninus Auidio Cassio rescripsit, si creditores parati sint partem ex bonis licet ab extraneo1 consequi, rationem habendam2 prius necessariarum personarum, si idoneae sint.
Emperor Antoninus wrote in a rescript to Avidius Cassius that, if creditors are prepared to obtain a portion of the property, even if from an outsider, account must first be taken of the necessary persons, provided they are suitable.
- 2.14.60.prlicet ab extraneo
Derived from the concessive conjunction, licet is used adverbially here to mean "even if" or "although," modifying the prepositional phrase ab extraneo (from an outsider).
- 2.14.60.prrationem habendam
This is an accusative with infinitive construction (with esse omitted) depending on the main verb rescripsit. The gerundive habendam expresses obligation, and the phrase rationem habere takes the genitive (necessariarum personarum), meaning "to take account of."
