Mutual Appointment of Tutors Between Decurions and Non-Decurions

Passage 3824 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Dictates that those who are not decurions can be appointed as tutors for the children of decurions, and vice versa.

[IDEM libro quinto excusationum. ] §26.5.22.prΚαὶ οἱ μὴ βουλευταὶ βουλευτῶν παισὶ χειροτονοῦνται ἐπίτροποι, ὥσπερ καὶ βουλευταὶ τοῖς μὴ ἐκ βουλευτῶν.
[BY THE SAME AUTHOR, from the fifth book on Excuses.] Those who are not decurions are also appointed as tutors for the children of decurions, just as decurions are also appointed for those who are not from decurions.

Notes

  1. §26.5.22.prτοῖς μὴ ἐκ βουλευτῶν — In contrast with "βουλευτῶν παισὶ" in the first half of the sentence, the noun "παισὶ" is omitted here. The preposition "ἐκ" indicates origin, meaning "those born from non-decurions" (i.e., children of non-decurions).
