The passage states that a son under paternal power can act as an arbiter even in a matter involving his father, supported by the majority opinion that he can also serve as a judge.
[GAIUS libro quinto ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS in his fifth book on the Provincial Edict.]
Quin etiam de re patris dicitur filium familias arbitrum esse posse:1 nam et iudicem eum esse posse plerisque placet.2
Furthermore, it is said that a son under paternal power can be an arbiter even in a matter concerning his father: for it is agreed by most authorities that he can also be a judge.
- 4.8.6.prdicitur filium familias arbitrum esse posse
The passive verb dicitur ("it is said") introduces an accusative with infinitive (AcI) clause, where filium familias is the subject accusative and arbitrum esse posse is the infinitive clause.
- 4.8.6.priudicem eum esse posse plerisque placet
The impersonal verb placet takes the dative plerisque ("it is agreed by most") and has the accusative with infinitive clause iudicem eum esse posse ("that he can be a judge") as its subject. The pronoun eum refers back to filium familias.
