Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §2.6.3.pr
Reasons for Accepting a Relative's Surety as Solvent
Summary
Paulus briefly explains the reason why a surety is accepted as solvent in the case of closely related persons.
Notes
- §2.6.3.prpro locuplete — The combination of the preposition pro with the ablative locuplete means 'as solvent' or 'in place of a wealthy/solvent person'. It indicates that whereas normally strict requirements of solvency are imposed on a surety, under these specific privileges, the surety offered is accepted as if they were fully solvent.
- §2.6.3.prin necessariis personis — The combination of the preposition in with the ablative. It refers back to the necessitudinem personarum (close relationship of persons) in the preceding section 2.6.2.pr, meaning 'in the case of closely (legally) related persons', such as patrons, spouses, children, or daughters-in-law.
