Ill health or an unavoidable journey is further listed as a valid excuse for not being compelled to undertake a lawsuit as a procurator.
[GAIUS libro tertio ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS, in the third book on the Provincial Edict.]
aut si ualetudinem1 aut si necessariam peregrinationem alleget:2
or if he should allege ill health or a necessary journey:
- 3.3.9.prvaletudinem
The noun valetudo literally means "state of health" (neutral), but in this context, where it serves as a legitimate excuse for declining to act as a procurator, it refers to "ill health" or "sickness".
- 3.3.9.pralleget
Third-person singular present subjunctive of allegare (to allege, plead). The implied subject is the procurator continued from the preceding section (D.3.3.8.3), and this subjunctive clause functions as another parallel excuse under the si condition, continuing the list of reasons why the procurator should not be compelled to accept the trial (non debebit compelli).
