Passage from Paulus, stating that outside a hundred-mile radius from Rome, individuals privileged by corporate rights are not compelled to undertake the guardianship of their colleagues' children.

[PAULUS libro singulari de cognitionibus. ] §27.1.42.prPlane ultra centesimum miliarium ab urbe filiorum collegarum suorum tutelam suscipere non coguntur.

Notes

  1. §27.1.42.prPlane — The adverb "plane" serves to introduce a qualification or limitation to the rule stated in the preceding section (§27.1.41.3) regarding the obligation to undertake guardianship for colleagues' children, indicating that clearly they are not bound to do so beyond a certain distance.
  2. §27.1.42.prnon coguntur — The implied subject of the passive verb "coguntur" (third person plural) in the compilatory context refers back to the subject of the preceding section (§27.1.41.3), namely "those who are excused by right of a corporation or of a guild" (qui corporis, item collegii iure excusantur).
