Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §26.5.11.pr
No Curator Appointed for Wards Even If Tutor Is Absent
Summary
Celsus states the legal rule that a curator is not appointed for a male or female ward even if their tutor is absent.
Notes
- §26.5.11.prpupillo uel pupillae — Dative of indirect object with the verb `datur`, explicitly referring to both a male ward (`pupillus`) and a female ward (`pupilla`).
- §26.5.11.prafuerit — Third-person singular future perfect active of `absum`. While the main clause uses the present tense `datur` to state a general rule, the future perfect in the conditional clause expresses a completed antecedent condition ('should the tutor have been absent').
