Julianus discusses the necessity of a tutor's authority when a party dies leaving a pupil as heir under a conditional submission, and begins to address the case where a party becomes insane.
[IULIANUS libro quarto digestorum.]
[JULIANUS in his fourth book of the Digests.]
Si compromissum ita factum est, ut praesente utroque aut heredibus eorum1 arbiter sententiam dicat et alter ex litigatoribus decesserit pupillo herede relicto, non aliter uidetur sententia dicta esse,2 nisi tutoris auctoritas interposita fuerit.
If a submission to arbitration has been made in such a way that the arbitrator is to pronounce his award in the presence of both parties or their heirs, and one of the litigants dies leaving a pupil as his heir, the award is not deemed to have been pronounced unless the authority of the tutor has been interposed.
Item si alter ex compromittentibus furere coeperit,3
Likewise, if one of those who entered into the submission begins to be insane,
- 4.8.47.prpraesente utroque aut heredibus eorum
The singular present participle praesente agrees with the singular pronoun utroque (each of the two). It is connected by aut to the plural noun heredibus, forming an ablative absolute construction: 'in the presence of either party or their heirs'.
- 4.8.47.pruidetur sententia dicta esse
This is a personal construction (nominative with infinitive) where the subject sententia (the award) is the subject of the passive verb uidetur, accompanied by the infinitive dicta esse, rather than an impersonal construction ('it seems that...').
- 4.8.47.1furere coeperit
This clause consists only of a conditional clause (si...), and its apodosis (consequent clause) is continued in the next fragment (§4.8.48).
