In response to a query on whether a son under paternal power defending his absent father must provide security for the judgment, Paulus answers that anyone defending an absent party, even a son or a father, is required to give security to the plaintiff under the Edict.
[IDEM libro secundo responsorum.]
[THE SAME, in the second book of Responses.]
Filius familias1 defendit absentem patrem: quaero an iudicatum solui2 satisdare debeat. Paulus respondit eum qui absentem defendit, etiam si filius uel pater sit, satisdare petituro3 ex forma edicti debere.
A son under paternal power defends his absent father: I ask whether he must give security that the judgment will be satisfied. Paulus replied that he who defends an absent person, even if he is a son or a father, must give security to the claimant in accordance with the terms of the Edict.
- 2.8.14.prfilius familias
Refers to a son under paternal power (patria potestas), who is not legally independent (sui iuris), raising the question of his capacity and obligations in judicial defense.
- 2.8.14.priudicatum solui
The term "solui" is the present passive infinitive of "solvere". This is a formulaic legal expression for "satisdatio iudicatum solvi", a security guaranteeing that the judgment rendered will be satisfied or paid.
- 2.8.14.prpetituro
Dative singular of the future active participle of "petere" (to claim, demand). Serving as the indirect object of "satisdare", it refers to the person who is about to demand the security, i.e., the plaintiff.
