This section rules that if a summoned person provides a guarantor who is outside the jurisdiction of the summoning authority, that guarantor is considered invalid unless the guarantor explicitly waives their privilege.
[ULPIANUS libro primo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, in the first book on the Edict.]
Si quis in ius uocatus fideiussorem dederit in iudicio sistendi causa non suppositum1 iurisdictioni illius, ad quem uocatur,2 pro non dato3 fideiussor habetur, nisi suo priuilegio specialiter renuntiauerit.4
If anyone, having been summoned to court, has given a guarantor for the purpose of appearing in court who is not subject to the jurisdiction of the person before whom he is summoned, the guarantor is held as not having been given, unless he has specifically renounced his privilege.
- 2.5.1.prnon suppositum
A perfect passive participle modifying the preceding accusative noun fideiussorem. Literally, "a guarantor who has not been subjected to...".
- 2.5.1.prillius, ad quem uocatur
illius is the antecedent of the relative pronoun quem, referring to the person (magistrate or judge) before whom the party is summoned. The subject of uocatur ("is summoned") is quis, the subject of the conditional clause.
- 2.5.1.prpro non dato
The preposition pro ("as") governs the neuter singular ablative of the perfect participle dato (accompanied by non), meaning "as not having been given/provided".
- 2.5.1.prnisi suo priuilegio specialiter renuntiauerit
The subject of renuntiauerit (future perfect or perfect subjunctive) is the guarantor (fideiussor). The verb renuntiare governs the dative, here suo priuilegio ("his own privilege"). This refers to the guarantor explicitly waiving his personal privilege of jurisdiction (forum).
