Explains that capitis deminutio, particularly when citizenship is preserved, does not terminate public offices, but only results in the loss of personal private and familial rights.

[ULPIANUS libro quinquagensimo primo ad Sabinum.]
Nam et cetera officia quae publica sunt, in eo1 non finiuntur: capitis enim minutio priuata hominis et familiae eius iura, non ciuitatis2 amittit.3
For all other offices as well which are public do not terminate in him: for capitis minutio loses a person’s private rights and those of his family, not those of citizenship.
- 4.5.6.prin eo
The pronoun eo (ablative singular masculine of is) refers in context to the person who has undergone capitis deminutio.
- 4.5.6.prnon ciuitatis
The noun iura is understood from the preceding phrase priuata hominis et familiae eius iura, functioning as non iura ciuitatis ("not the rights of citizenship").
- 4.5.6.pramittit
The verb amittere (to lose) usually takes a person as its subject, but here it has the abstract noun capitis minutio as its subject, functioning in a causative or resultative sense ("causes the loss of", "results in the forfeiture of").
