If a special mandate exists for demanding money between two procurators, this section outlines the replication the plaintiff must raise against the defendant's exception of lack of mandate.
[GAIUS libro tertio ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS in the third book on the provincial edict.]
Itaque, si hoc specialiter mandatum est, tunc excipiente eo cum quo agitur1 'si non mihi mandatum sit, ut a debitoribus peterem' actorem ita debere replicare2 'aut si mihi mandatum est, ut a te peterem'.
Therefore, if this has been specially mandated, then, when the person with whom the action is brought raises the exception ‘unless mandate has been given to me to demand from the debtors’, the plaintiff must reply thus: ‘or if mandate has been given to me to demand from you’.
- 3.3.48.preo cum quo agitur
Literally 'the person with whom the action is conducted', which is a standard technical expression for the defendant in Roman legal procedure. It is in the ablative case to form an ablative absolute construction with the present participle excipiente.
- 3.3.48.practorem ita debere replicare
An accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction, where actorem is the subject accusative of the infinitive debere. It expresses the jurist's formulation of the procedural step or obligation required of the plaintiff.
