This section dictates that a person who rescues a debtor by force does not release the original debtor even if he pays, as he is merely paying his own penalty.
[IDEM libro trigensimo quinto ad edictum.]
[THE SAME, in the thirty-fifth book on the Edict.]
Is qui debitorem ui exemit, si soluerit,1 reum2 non liberat, quia poenam suam soluit.
He who has rescued a debtor by force, even if he pays, does not release the debtor; for he pays his own penalty.
- 2.7.6.prsoluerit
The subject of soluerit (future perfect or perfect subjunctive of solvere, "to pay/release") is Is, the antecedent of the relative clause. Its object is omitted but contextually implies the penalty or amount assessed for the illegal rescue.
- 2.7.6.prreum
The noun reum (accusative of reus) generally means "defendant" or "obligated party" in a lawsuit, but here it specifically refers back to the debitorem (debtor) mentioned at the beginning of the sentence.
