Senatus Consulta on Replacing Incapacitated Guardians

Passage 3745 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

On the various senate decrees that provide for the appointment of alternative guardians in place of those who are insane, mute, or deaf.

[PAULUS libro octauo ad Sabinum. ] §26.1.17.prComplura senatus consulta facta sunt, ut in locum furiosi et muti et surdi tutoris alii tutores dentur.
[PAULUS, On Sabinus, Book 8.]\n\nNumerous senate decrees have been passed to the effect that other guardians should be appointed in the place of a guardian who is insane, mute, or deaf.

Notes

  1. §26.1.17.prut ... dentur — The ut clause, taking the subjunctive dentur, functions as a noun clause explaining the content or purpose of the preceding senatus consulta (senate decrees).
  2. §26.1.17.prfuriosi et muti et surdi tutoris — tutoris (genitive singular) is governed by the prepositional phrase in locum. The adjectives furiosi, muti, and surdi are all in the genitive singular, modifying tutoris; logically, they are to be understood disjunctively ('or').
