Ulpian explains the definition of affinity in the Edict's provisions on guardianship and curatorship, stating that only present relations are counted and that familial terms include remote relatives, while citing Pomponius's opinion on adding mutes and others to the subjects of curators.
[ULPIANUS libro sexto ad edictum.]
'Cui eorum a parente, aut de maioris partis 'tutorum sententia, aut ab eo cuius de ea re iurisdictio fuit ea tutela curatioue data erit.' Adfinitates non eas accipere debemus, quae quondam fuerunt, sed praesentes.
’To whomsoever of them that guardianship or curatorship shall have been given by a parent, or according to the opinion of the majority of the tutors, or by him who had jurisdiction concerning that matter.’ We ought to accept not those affinities which once existed, but present ones.
Item Pomponius nurus et generi appellatione et soceri et socrus et ulteriores, quibus pro praepositio1 solet accedere, contineri ait.
Likewise Pomponius says that by the designation of daughter-in-law and son-in-law, and of father-in-law and mother-in-law, those more remote, to whom the prefix ‘pro’ is accustomed to be added, are also included.
In curatoribus debuisse eum adicere:2 muti ceterorumque, quibus dare solent, id est surdo prodigo et adulescenti:
In the case of curators, [he says] he [the Praetor] ought to have added: [the case] of a mute person, and of the others to whom they are accustomed to be given, that is, a deaf person, a prodigal, and a youth.
- 3.1.3.1pro praepositio
Refers to words prefixed with the preposition/prefix pro- (such as pronurus, progener, prosocer), indicating affinity relations one generation further removed. The word praepositio here is used as a grammatical term for a prefix.
- 3.1.3.2debuisse eum adicere
This accusative-with-infinitive clause (debuisse) is a continuation of the indirect speech depending on the main verb ait (Pomponius ... ait) from the previous section (§3.1.3.1). The subject accusative eum refers to the Praetor, the author of the Edict.
