Ulpian discusses that if a person who promised to present two men in court only produces one, they are not deemed to have appeared in accordance with the promise.
[ULPIANUS libro quinquagensimo octauo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, in the fifty-eighth book on the Edict.]
Qui duos homines in iudicio sisti1 promisit, si alterum exhibet, alterum non, ex promissione non uidetur eos stetisse,23 cum alter eorum non sit exhibitus.
He who has promised that two men shall be presented in court, if he produces one and not the other, is not deemed to have had them appear in accordance with his promise, since one of them was not produced.
- 2.6.4.prsisti
The present passive infinitive of the verb sistere (to present, to make appear), forming an accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction with duos homines as its subject accusative, serving as the object of promisit.
- 2.6.4.prstetisse
The perfect active infinitive of the verb stare (to appear in court, to stand). Here, it is used in the legal sense of 'appearing in court' as the fulfillment of a promised obligation.
- 2.6.4.prnon uidetur eos stetisse
A construction using uidetur (it seems, is deemed) impersonally, with the infinitive clause eos stetisse (that they appeared) serving as its subject, meaning 'it is not deemed that they appeared'.
