Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §26.5.6.pr

Appointing Tutors for Unwilling or Unaware Wards

Passage 3808 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian states that a tutor can also be appointed for a ward who is ignorant of the appointment or unwilling.

[ULPIANUS libro octauo de omnibus tribunalibus. ] §26.5.6.prNec non ignoranti et inuito.
[ULPIANUS, from the eighth book on all tribunals.] And likewise for one who is ignorant or unwilling.

Notes

  1. §26.5.6.prNec non ignoranti et inuito — This phrase continues the construction from the preceding section (26.5.5.pr), specifically praesidem posse tutorem dare... absenti. Both ignoranti and inuito are dative singular, referring to the person to whom a tutor is given (the ward). Nec non serves as a strong affirmative conjunction meaning 'and likewise' or 'and also'.
