Notes

  1. §11.8.4.prtribui — Present passive infinitive. In summaries of jurists' responses, the main clause is often expressed in the accusative with infinitive construction (ius sepulchri non tribui), implying '(it was answered that) ... is not granted.'
  2. §11.8.4.priure — Ablative singular of the noun ius (law, right). Used adverbially here to mean 'by law' or 'by right'.
