Salary Claims of Legate Attendants upon Death or Replacement

Passage 237 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It regulates the conditions under which the attendants of an imperial legate who dies are entitled to their salary for the remaining term, and notes that a different rule applies to a legate replaced before his term ends.

[PAPINIANUS libro quarto responsorum. ] §1.22.4.prDiem functo legato Caesaris salarium comitibus residui temporis, quod a legatis praestitutum est, debetur, modo si non postea comites cum aliis eodem tempore fuerunt.
[PAPINIAN, Opinions, Book Four.] If an imperial legate dies, the salary for the remaining time, which was fixed by the legates, is due to his attendants, provided that the attendants have not subsequently been with others during the same period.
diuersum in eo seruatur, qui successorem ante tempus accepit.
A different rule is observed in the case of one who has received a successor before his term.

Notes

  1. §1.22.4.prdiem functo legato — diem functo is the dative perfect participle of the idiom diem fungi (to finish one's days, i.e., to die), modifying legato Caesaris. It functions as a dative of interest/reference in relation to comitibus (i.e., 'to the attendants of the deceased legate').
  2. §1.22.4.prquod a legatis praestitutum est — The relative pronoun quod (neuter singular nominative) has salarium as its antecedent. The plural legatis refers to the legates generally, or to the rate predetermined by the legates for their entourage.
  3. §1.22.4.prdiuersum in eo seruatur, qui — eo (masculine singular ablative) is the antecedent of the relative pronoun qui and refers to the legate who was replaced before his term ended (but remains alive). In his case, a different rule (diuersum) is observed regarding the liability for his attendants' salaries.
