An exception is made allowing a minor to obtain relief against freedom if they have secured it from the emperor for a great cause.
[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS in the eleventh book on the Edict.]
nisi ex magna causa hoc a principe fuerit consecutus.1
unless he has obtained this from the emperor for a great cause.
- 4.4.10.prnisi ex magna causa hoc a principe fuerit consecutus
The subject of the verb "consecutus [sit/erit]" is the minor, implied by "minori" in the preceding section (§4.4.9.6). "hoc" refers to being succoured by the praetor against freedom. This clause specifies an exception where, although the praetor cannot grant such relief, it may be obtained from the emperor (principe) for a great cause (ex magna causa).
