Denial of Action against Minor Who Renounced Inheritance
Summary
Explains the just cause for leasing, noting that at that time no actions were granted against a pupillus who had abstained from the inheritance.
Notes
- 19.2.16.prcum — The conjunction taking the subjunctive imperfect `darentur` expresses a cause ("since"), explaining the ground for the "just cause for leasing" mentioned at the end of the preceding section (19.2.15.9).
- 19.2.16.prin pupillum — The preposition `in` with the accusative means "against the pupillus". It refers to the circumstance where no actions could be brought against the pupillus while he abstained (abstinere) from the inheritance.
