Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §14.6.2.pr

Exemption from the SC Macedonianum up to Castrense Peculium

Passage 2241 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that within the limit of the castrense peculium, the Senatus Consultum Macedonianum does not apply, since a filius familias acts as a pater familias in respect of such property.

[IDEM libro sexagensimo quarto ad edictum. ] §14.6.2.prusque ad quantitatem castrensis peculii, cum filii familias in castrensi peculio uice patrum familiarum fungantur.
[The same, On the Edict, Book 64] up to the amount of the castrense peculium, since filii familias, in respect of the castrense peculium, perform the function of patres familias.

Notes

  1. §14.6.2.prusque ad quantitatem — Indicates the limit of the exception mentioned at the end of the preceding section (14.6.1.3), where the senatus consultum does not apply (senatus consultum cessabit); it specifies that the non-application is limited 'up to the amount' of the castrense peculium.
  2. §14.6.2.pruice ... fungantur — The deponent verb fungor (here in the subjunctive fungantur) classically governs the ablative case. Here, uice (the ablative singular of uicis) serves as the complement of fungor, which in turn takes the genitive patrum familiarum, meaning 'to perform the function of' or 'to act in the place of' the fathers of families.
