Ulpian discusses the self-evident utility of this title, under which the praetor grants relief in various ways to individuals who have suffered disadvantage through error, fraud, youth, or absence.
[ULPIANUS libro undecimo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, book 11]
Utilitas huius tituli non eget commendatione,1 ipse enim se ostendit. nam sub hoc titulo plurifariam praetor hominibus uel lapsis uel circumscriptis subuenit, siue metu siue calliditate siue aetate siue absentia inciderunt2 in captionem3
The utility of this title does not need commendation, for it shows itself. For under this title, the praetor in many ways assists people, whether they have fallen into a snare through fear, craft, age, or absence, who have either made a mistake or been deceived.
