Agreements by Sons or Slaves Not to Sue Fathers or Masters

Passage 384 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It specifies that the agreement made by a son or slave not to sue their father or master applies whether the underlying contract was made with themselves or with their father or master.

[GAIUS libro primo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §2.14.18.prsiue de eo paciscantur, quod cum ipsis, siue de eo, quod cum patre dominoue contractum est,
[GAIUS, On the Provincial Edict, book 1]\n\nwhether they make an agreement concerning that which was contracted with themselves, or concerning that which was contracted with their father or master,

Notes

  1. §2.14.18.prquod cum ipsis — The verb contractum est from the subsequent clause is understood to be omitted after quod cum ipsis. The pronoun ipsis refers to the filius seruusue (son or slave) in the preceding fragment (§2.14.17.7).
  2. §2.14.18.prsiue... siue... — The correlatives siue... siue... modify the conditional clause si paciscantur in §2.14.17.7, presenting two alternative circumstances regarding whom the underlying contract was made with.
