This passage regulates the prohibition of summoning impuberal girls under another's power and specifies two conditions under which a summoned person must be released.
[GAIUS libro primo ad legem duodecim tabularum.]
[GAIUS, in the first book on the Law of the Twelve Tables.]
Neque impuberes puellas, quae alieno iuri subiectae essent,1 in ius uocare permissum est.
Nor is it permitted to summon to court impuberal girls who are subject to another’s power.
Qui in ius uocatus est, duobus casibus dimittendus est: si quis eius personam defendet, et si, dum in ius uenitur,2 de re transactum fuerit.3
He who has been summoned to court must be released in two cases: if someone defends his person, and if, while coming to court, a settlement of the matter has been reached.
- 2.4.22.prquae alieno iuri subiectae essent
The subjunctive imperfect essent indicates a relative clause of characteristic defining the class of individuals, or functions as a subordinate clause in indirect speech context.
- 2.4.22.1dum in ius uenitur
uenitur is the impersonal passive of the intransitive verb uenire (to come), literally meaning 'while it is being come to court', translated as 'while going to court'.
- 2.4.22.1de re transactum fuerit
transactum fuerit is the impersonal passive future perfect of transigere (to settle), which, with de re (concerning the matter), means 'if a settlement has been reached concerning the matter'.
