Summary

It states that correctors and provincial governors have jurisdiction over all cases that are investigated in Rome by major magistrates and prefects.

[HERMOGENIANUS libro secundo iuris epitomarum. ] §1.18.10.prEx omnibus causis, de quibus uel praefectus urbi uel praefectus praetorio itemque consules et praetores ceterique Romae cognoscunt, correctorum et praesidum prouinciarum est notio.
[HERMOGENIANUS, in the second book of epitomes of law.] Of all the cases which either the prefect of the city or the prefect of the praetorian guard, and likewise the consuls, the praetors, and others investigate in Rome, the jurisdiction belongs to the correctors and governors of provinces.

Notes

  1. §1.18.10.prEx omnibus causis ... correctorum et praesidum prouinciarum est notio — The prepositional phrase Ex omnibus causis, modified by the relative clause de quibus... cognoscunt, is connected to the subject of the main clause notio (jurisdiction). The genitive phrase correctorum et praesidum prouinciarum is used with the copula est to denote possession or attribution ('belongs to...').
