Eligibility of Hard of Hearing Persons to Serve as Tutors

Passage 3802 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It stipulates that while a deaf-mute cannot be a tutor, a person who is hard of hearing can be appointed as one.

[PAULUS libro sexto decimo ad Plautium. ] §26.4.11.prMinus autem audiens potest.
[PAULUS, from the sixteenth book on Plautius.] However, a person who is hard of hearing can [be a tutor].

Notes

  1. 26.4.11.prMinus autem audiens — The participle audiens (used substantively, "one who hears") is modified by the adverb minus ("less" or "not fully"), referring to someone who is hard of hearing.
  2. 26.4.11.prpotest — The infinitive tutor esse ("to be a tutor") or tutor dari ("to be appointed as a tutor") is understood here from the context of the preceding section (26.4.10.1, "tutores esse possunt").
