It states the legal principle that no one can summon their natural parents to court, as an equal and uniform respect must be shown to all parents.
[IDEM libro primo sententiarum.]
[THE SAME, in the first book of Opinions.]
Parentes naturales in ius uocare nemo potest: una1 est enim omnibus parentibus2 seruanda reuerentia.
No one can summon natural parents to court; for one and the same respect is to be observed towards all parents.
- 2.4.6.pruna
A feminine nominative singular adjective agreeing with the subject reuerentia. It means 'one and the same' or 'uniform', indicating that an identical standard of respect must be shown to all parents.
- 2.4.6.promnibus parentibus
Although the presence of the gerundive seruanda ('to be observed') might suggest a dative of agent ('by all parents'), in this context it is interpreted as a dative of reference or object ('towards all parents'), as the respect (reuerentia) is due to the parents from their children.
