Julian explains that if a litigant becomes insane, an award can still be pronounced in the presence of their curator; he also details the arbitrator's power to summon parties and the dissolution of the arbitration agreement when only one party's heir is included.
[IULIANUS libro quarto digestorum.]
[JULIANUS in his fourth book of the Digests.]
sed et interpellatur, quo minus1 sententiam dicat, quia nihil coram furioso fieri intellegitur. quod si2 furiosus curatorem habet uel habuerit adhuc litigio pendente, potest praesente curatore sententia dici.
But he is also prevented from pronouncing his award, because it is understood that nothing can be done in the presence of an insane person. But if the insane person has, or shall have, a curator while the litigation is still pending, the award can be pronounced in the presence of the curator.
Arbiter adesse litigatores uel per nuntium uel epistulam iubere potest.
An arbitrator can order the litigants to be present either by a messenger or by a letter.
Si ab altera dumtaxat parte3 heredis mentio comprehensa fuerit, compromissum soluetur morte cuiusque ex litigatoribus, sicut solueretur altero mortuo, si neutrius heredis persona compraehenderetur.
If a mention of the heir was included on the part of only one of the parties, the submission to arbitration will be dissolved by the death of either of the litigants, just as it would be dissolved upon the death of the other if the person of the heir of neither had been included.
- 4.8.49.printerpellatur, quo minus
The verb interpellare in the passive voice means 'to be prevented or interrupted', here followed by the conjunction quo minus with the subjunctive, expressing prevention ('from doing something'). The subject is arbiter, supplied from the preceding section (§4.8.48.pr).
- 4.8.49.prquod si
The phrase-initial quod is a connecting relative (or conjunctional adverb) which, combined with si, introduces a conditional clause with an adversative or transitional sense ('but if', 'now if').
- 4.8.49.2ab altera dumtaxat parte
The adverb dumtaxat means 'only' or 'at least', modifying ab altera parte to mean 'from only one of the sides/parties'.
