The text discusses the applicability of the edict when a slave or someone summoned before a pedaneus judge is rescued, and whether the requirement of "by force" includes malicious intent.
[ULPIANUS libro quinto ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, in the fifth book on the Edict.]
Quod si seruum quis exemit in ius uocatum, Pedius putat cessare edictum, quoniam non fuit persona, quae in ius uocari potuit. quid ergo? ad exhibendum erit agendum.1
But if someone has rescued a slave who was summoned to court, Pedius thinks that the edict does not apply, since the slave was not a person who could be summoned to court. What then? An action for production must be brought.
Si quis ad pedaneum iudicem uocatum quem eximat,2 poena eius edicti cessabit.
If anyone should rescue someone who has been summoned before a pedaneus judge, the penalty of this edict will not apply.
Quod praetor praecepit3 'ui eximat': ui an et dolo malo? sufficit ui, quamuis dolus malus cesset.
As for the praetor’s instruction “rescues by force”: is it by force, or also with malicious intent? Force is sufficient, even if malicious intent is absent.
- 2.7.3.prad exhibendum erit agendum
This is an impersonal passive periphrastic construction (erit agendum), meaning "an action must be brought." The gerund phrase "ad exhibendum" ("for production") refers to the action for production (actio ad exhibendum).
- 2.7.3.1quem eximat
Following the conjunction "si", the prefixes of the indefinite pronouns aliquis and aliquem are regularly dropped, so that "quis" acts as the subject ("anyone") and "quem" acts as the object ("someone"). The participle "uocatum" modifies "quem".
- 2.7.3.2Quod praetor praecepit
A relative clause of respect introduced by "quod" ("As for the fact that..."), used to introduce a specific wording from the praetor's edict as the topic of discussion.
