Exception of the Senate Decree after Condemnation

Passage 2250 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It explains that even if they are condemned without raised exception, they can still use the exception of the senate decree, and that Julian writes this regarding the son-in-power himself, following the example of an interceding woman.

[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo nono ad edictum. ] §14.6.11.prtamen, si non opposita exceptione condemnati sunt, utentur senatus consulti exceptione: et ita Iulianus scribit in ipso filio familias exemplo mulieris intercedentis.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book 29] Nevertheless, if they have been condemned without having opposed the exception, they will use the exception of the senate decree; and Julian writes thus regarding the son-in-power himself, following the example of an interceding woman.

Notes

  1. §14.6.11.prnon opposita exceptione — opposita is the perfect participle of opponere (to oppose, set against), forming an ablative absolute construction with exceptione ("the exception not having been opposed"), or interpreted as an ablative of manner ("without having opposed the exception").
  2. §14.6.11.prutentur — The third-person plural future active (deponent) indicative of utor (to use), which governs the ablative case (senatus consulti exceptione) as its object.
  3. §14.6.11.prexemplo mulieris intercedentis — exemplo is an ablative meaning "following the example of" or "by the example of." intercedentis is the genitive of the present participle intercedens, referring to a woman performing intercessio (interceding or assuming liability for another's debt under Roman law, related to the SC Velleianum).
