It states the general rule that persons to whom reverence is due cannot be summoned to court without an order from the praetor.
[MODESTINUS libro decimo pandectarum.]
[MODESTINUS, in the tenth book of the Pandects.]
Generaliter eas personas, quibus1 reuerentia praestanda est, sine iussu praetoris in ius uocare non possumus.
Generally, we cannot summon to court those persons to whom reverence must be shown, without the order of the praetor.
- 2.4.13.prquibus
A dative plural of the relative pronoun, referring back to eas personas. Although used with the gerundive praestanda, it functions not as a dative of agent (i.e., those who must show reverence), but as a dative of direction or recipient (i.e., those to whom reverence must be shown). The actual agents of the action (the general public) are omitted in the context.
