Explains that those kept under surveillance by soldiers or municipal officers, as well as those bound so restrictively that they cannot appear in public without disgrace, are also regarded as being "in chains" and eligible for relief.

[ULPIANUS libro duodecimo ad edictum.]
In eadem causa sunt et qui a militibus statoribusque uel a municipalibus ministeriis adseruantur, si probentur rei suae superesse1 non potuisse. in uinculis autem etiam eos accipimus, qui ita alligati sunt, ut sine dedecore in publico parere2 non possint.
Those who are detained by soldiers and attendants, or by municipal officers, are also in the same position, if they are proved to have been unable to attend to their own affairs. Moreover, we also understand as being in chains those who are bound in such a way that they cannot appear in public without disgrace.
- 4.6.10.prrei suae superesse
Although the verb superesse usually means "to survive" or "to remain," when constructed with a dative (here rei suae, "one's own affairs/property") in a legal context, it means "to attend to or manage one's own affairs." Here, combined with non potuisse, it denotes the inability to look after one's affairs due to surveillance or confinement.
- 4.6.10.prparere
Although the verb pārēre often means "to obey," here it is used in the sense of "to appear" or "to show oneself" (e.g., in public or in court). Therefore, in publico parere means "to appear in public."
