Ulpian discusses the punishment of a woman who deceived the praetor, stating that she is only marked with infamy if she committed the act while she was independent (suae potestatis).
[ULPIANUS libro octauo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, in his Eighth Book on the Edict.]
debuit enim coerceri quae praetorem decepit.1 sed ea notatur,2 quae cum suae potestatis esset3 hoc facit.
For she who deceived the praetor ought to have been punished. But she is marked [with infamy] who does this when she was independent.
- 3.2.17.prquae praetorem decepit
The relative clause quae praetorem decepit acts as the grammatical subject of the main verb debuit (which governs the passive infinitive coerceri), with its antecedent (such as ea) being omitted.
- 3.2.17.prnotatur
The verb notare is used here as a technical legal term meaning to be marked or registered with "infamy" (infamia) under the praetor's edict.
- 3.2.17.prsuae potestatis esset
The genitive suae potestatis is a genitive of quality or condition used with esse to mean "being of one's own power," indicating an independent person (sui iuris) who is not under another's paternal authority (patria potestas) in Roman law. The imperfect subjunctive esset is used in the circumstantial cum clause.
