This text discusses the remedy by entering into a stipulation when there is doubt about the mandate of a representative, and the security to be given by a defender when the accused party is absent.
[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS in the eleventh book on the Edict.]
Quod si de speciali mandatu dubitetur, cum restitutio postuletur, interposita stipulatione ratam rem dominum habiturum1 rei2 potest mederi.
But if, when restitution is demanded, there is doubt about the special mandate, the situation can be remedied by entering into a stipulation that the principal will ratify the transaction.
Quod si is, qui circumscripsisse dicitur, absit, defensor eius satis iudicatum solui dare3 debebit.
But if he who is said to have defrauded is absent, his defender will have to give security that the judgment will be satisfied.
- 4.4.26.prratam rem dominum habiturum
An accusative with infinitive clause (with esse omitted from the future active participle habiturum) expressing the content of the stipulatio (stipulation). The legal expression ratam rem habere means 'to approve/ratify (what another has done)', referring here to a guarantee (cautio de rato) that the principal will ratify the agent's act.
- 4.4.26.prrei
Dative object of the verb mederi (to remedy). The main clause potest mederi is used impersonally ('it is possible to remedy'), taking the dative rei (the matter, situation).
- 4.4.26.1satis iudicatum solui dare
A tmesis of the compound verb satisdare (to give security) into satis and dare. iudicatum solui, meaning 'that the judgment be paid/satisfied' (with the passive infinitive solui), expresses the content of the security (cautio iudicatum solui) to be provided.
