§2.4.24.pr

​In eum, qui aduersus ea fecerit, quinquaginta aureorum1 iudicium datur: quod nec heredi nec in heredem2 nec ultra annum datur.

​Against him who acts contrary to these provisions, an action for fifty aurei is granted; which is not granted to an heir, nor against an heir, nor beyond a year.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 2.4.24.prquinquaginta aureorum

    A genitive of quality or value modifying the noun iudicium (action), indicating that it is a penal action for the sum of fifty aurei.

  2. 2.4.24.prheredi nec in heredem

    This contrasts two aspects of the transmissibility of actions: the dative heredi signifies that the action is not transmissible to the heir of the plaintiff (active intransmissibility), while the prepositional phrase in heredem (in + accusative) signifies that it cannot be brought against the heir of the defendant (passive intransmissibility).
