Gaius discusses the expenses incurred in educating another's slave (such as training them as a painter or copyist), noting that such expenses can only be taken into account by the judge under specific limits.
[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS, in the seventh book on the Provincial Edict.]
forte quod1 pictorem aut librarium docueris. dicitur non aliter2 officio iudicis aestimationem haberi posse,
as for instance if you have taught him to be a painter or a copyist. It is said that an assessment can be taken into account by the office of the judge in no other way [than...],
- 6.1.28.prforte quod
An introductory phrase further specifying the hypothesis at the end of the preceding fragment (D. 6.1.27.5: "erudisses"). Taking the subjunctive (docueris), it serves to introduce a concrete example ("as for instance if").
- 6.1.28.prnon aliter
A correlative expression indicating a strong limitation ("not otherwise than" or "only if"). Although the text of this fragment breaks off here, or the expected conditional clause (such as nisi) is omitted, it indicates that the judge's discretionary allowance for expenses is highly restricted.
