It explains that any surety must be accepted for a patroness, children, wife, or daughter-in-law regardless of wealth, and an action for fifty aurei lies against anyone who knowingly refuses them.
[CALLISTRATUS libro primo ad edictum monitorium.]
[CALLISTRATUS, in the first book on the Warning Edict.]
item pro patrona liberisue suis uel uxore nuruue.1 tunc enim qualiscumque fideiussor accipi iubetur: et in eum, qui non acceperit, cum sciret2 eam necessitudinem personarum, quinquaginta aureorum3 iudicium competit,
Likewise, for a female patron, or their children, or a wife, or a daughter-in-law. For in those cases, any kind of surety whatsoever is ordered to be accepted; and against one who did not accept them, although he knew of that close relationship of the persons, an action for fifty aurei lies.
- 2.6.2.pritem pro patrona liberisue suis uel uxore nuruue.
This phrase continues the context from the previous sentence (ueluti pro parente patrono), listing noun phrases introduced by pro (for). The omitted main clause (e.g., when a surety is provided) must be understood from the context.
- 2.6.2.prcum sciret
A cum clause with the imperfect subjunctive sciret. Here, it expresses concession ('although he knew') or cause ('since he knew'), highlighting the subjective element of refusing the surety despite being aware of the close relationship between the parties.
- 2.6.2.prquinquaginta aureorum
A genitive of quality or value/price, modifying iudicium (action/lawsuit) to mean 'an action for (a penalty of) fifty aurei.'
