- 4.5.4.prhodie
The adverb hodie ('today') here does not refer to the historical present (Modestinus' own time), but rather means 'on that day' (the day of manumission) in connection with the preceding context. It explains that at the very moment of becoming free, a person begins to have a legal status.
