§3.3.11.pr

​si tamen dominus cogi possit.1

​if, however, the principal can be compelled.

Syntax notes1 item
  1. 3.3.11.prsi tamen dominus cogi possit

    This clause introduces a restrictive condition to the rule in the preceding text (Ulpian, D.3.3.10.pr), meaning 'provided, however, that the principal can be compelled'. The present subjunctive possit indicates a hypothetical qualification.
