This text explains the rule that if a judge assigned a certain time limit dies and a successor is appointed, the same amount of time is understood to be granted anew to the successor even without explicit mention, provided it does not exceed the legal limit.
[ULPIANUS libro primo de officio consulis.]
[ULPIAN, on the Office of Consul, Book I.]
Si iudex, cui certa tempora praestita erant, decesserit et alius in locum eius datus fuerit, tanta ex integro tempora in persona eius praestituta intellegemus,1 quamuis magistratus nominatim hoc in sequentis datione non expresserit: ita tamen ut legitimum tempus non excedat.2
If a judge, to whom certain periods of time had been granted, should die and another be appointed in his place, we shall understand that the same amount of time is granted anew in respect of his person, even though the magistrate did not expressly state this in the appointment of the successor; provided, however, that it does not exceed the legal limit.
- 5.1.32.prtanta ex integro tempora in persona eius praestituta intellegemus
The main verb intellegemus governs an accusative and infinitive construction with the accusative subject tanta... tempora and the participle praestituta (with the copula esse omitted). tanta implies an equivalent amount of time compared to the period previously assigned to the deceased judge.
- 5.1.32.prita tamen ut legitimum tempus non excedat
The construction ita tamen ut introduces a restrictive clause of proviso ('provided, however, that'), taking the subjunctive excedat (present active third-person singular).
