Stipulates that if there are multiple substitutes, security must be provided for each of them individually.
[PAULUS libro septuagensimo quinto ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, in the seventy-fifth book on the Edict.]
Sed et si plures substituti sint, singulis cauendum est.1
But also if there are several substitutes, security must be given to each of them.
- 2.8.13.prsingulis cauendum est
The phrase cauendum est is an impersonal passive periphrastic construction using the gerundive to express obligation. The word singulis is the dative case (indirect object or dative of advantage) meaning "to/for each individual substitute." The agent who must provide the security, though not explicitly stated here, is understood from the context of the preceding section (2.8.12.pr) to be the conditional heir.
