The peremptory edict may be issued after multiple preliminary edicts, after one or two, or immediately (known as "one for all"), at the discretion of the magistrate who adjusts the order or shortcut of the procedure based on the circumstances.
[IDEM libro octauo disputationum.]
[THE SAME, in the Eighth Book of Disputations.]
Nonnumquam autem hoc edictum post tot numero edicta quae praecesserint datur, nonnumquam post unum uel alterum, nonnumquam statim, quod appellatur unum pro omnibus. hoc autem aestimare oportet eum qui ius dixit1 et pro condicione causae uel personae uel temporis ita ordinem edictorum uel compendium2 moderari.
Sometimes, however, this edict is issued after so many preceding edicts in number, sometimes after one or two, sometimes immediately, which is called “one for all.” However, he who has administered justice must evaluate this and, according to the condition of the case, the person, or the time, regulate in this way the order of the edicts or their reduction.
- 5.1.72.preum qui ius dixit
This serves as the subject accusative of the infinitives "aestimare" and "moderari" in the accusative and infinitive construction governed by the impersonal verb "oportet." "ius dicere" (literally "to speak the law") is a technical legal term meaning to administer justice or exercise jurisdiction.
- 5.1.72.prcompendium
Meaning a "shortcut" or "abbreviation," here it refers to the procedural simplification or reduction where preliminary edicts are bypassed to go straight to the peremptory edict. It stands in the accusative as the direct object of the deponent verb "moderari," coordinated with "ordinem edictorum."
