Province Stay of Slaves Sold for Export from Italy

Passage 2755 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It is stated that a slave sold on condition of being exported from Italy is permitted to remain in a province, unless this has been specifically prohibited.

[MARCIANUS libro secundo publicorum. ] §18.7.2.prExportandus si uenierit ab Italia, in prouincia morari potest, nisi specialiter prohibitum fuerit.
[MARCIANUS in the second book on Public Matters.] If a slave has been sold on condition that he is to be exported from Italy, he can remain in a province, unless this has been specifically prohibited.

Notes

  1. §18.7.2.prExportandus ... uenierit — uenierit is the third-person singular future perfect (or perfect subjunctive) of the semi-deponent verb ueneo (to be sold), with an implied subject (seruus). Exportandus is a gerundive expressing obligation, acting as a predicate nominative describing the status of the subject ("to be exported from Italy").
  2. §18.7.2.prprohibitum fuerit — The perfect passive of prohibeo. It is in the neuter singular, taking the preceding infinitive phrase in prouincia morari (to remain in a province) as its virtual subject, or functioning as an impersonal passive ("unless it has been specifically prohibited").
