This section regulates the validity of submissions to arbitration concerning slaves or wards, prohibits judges from acting as arbitrators in their own cases, and lists grounds on which an arbitrator may be excused from making an award.
[ULPIANUS libro tertio decimo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS in his thirteenth book on the Edict.]
Sed si in seruum compromittatur1 et liber sententiam dixerit, puto, si liber factus fecerit consentientibus partibus, ualere.
But if a submission to arbitration is made on a slave, and he pronounces his award as a free man, I think that, if he did so after becoming free and with the consent of the parties, it is valid.
Sed neque in pupillum neque in furiosum aut surdum aut mutum compromittetur, ut Pomponius libro trigensimo tertio scribit.
But a submission to arbitration shall not be made either on a ward, or on an insane, deaf, or mute person, as Pomponius writes in his thirty-third book.
Si quis iudex sit, arbitrium recipere eius rei, de qua iudex est, inue2 se compromitti iubere prohibetur lege Iulia: et si sententiam dixerit, non est danda poenae persecutio.
If anyone is a judge, he is forbidden by the lex Julia to accept an arbitration concerning the matter of which he is the judge, or to order a submission to arbitration to be made to himself; and if he has pronounced his award, an action for the penalty is not to be granted.
Sunt et alii, qui non coguntur sententiam dicere, ut puta si sordes aut turpitudo. arbitri manifesta sit.
There are also others who are not compelled to pronounce their award; as, for example, if the corruption or baseness of the arbitrator is manifest.
Iulianus ait, si eum infamauerunt litigatores, non omnimodo praetorem debere eum excusare, sed causa cognita.
Iulianus says that if the litigants have defamed him, the praetor ought not to excuse him in every case, but only after an inquiry into the case.
Idem et si spreta auctoritate eius ad iudicium3
He says the same also if, his authority having been disregarded, they went to court.
- 4.8.9.prin seruum compromittatur
An impersonal passive construction with the preposition in + accusative, meaning 'a submission to arbitration is made with someone appointed as arbitrator'.
- 4.8.9.2inue
The enclitic conjunction -ue ('or') attached to the preposition in. 'in-ue se' means 'or to himself'.
