Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §13.7.19.pr
Pledge of Peculium by a Son-in-Power
Summary
This section states that the rule regarding a slave giving a piece of his peculium as a pledge also applies to a son-in-power.
Notes
- §13.7.19.prdicta — An accusative with infinitive (Accusativus cum Infinitivo) construction serving as the object of the verb intellegemus, with the infinitive esse omitted after dicta (eadem ... dicta esse). Thus, it is interpreted as 'we will understand that the same things have been said...', rather than taking eadem dicta simply as a noun phrase functioning as the direct object.
- §13.7.19.prfamilias — An archaic genitive singular form of the noun familia. It functions as a genitive in the fixed, idiomatic legal expression filius familias (a son-in-power, i.e., a son subject to paternal authority).
