Termination of Pupillary Substitution upon Puberty

Passage 4286 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Pomponius explains that in a pupillary substitution, even if a longer period has been specified in the will, the substitution is terminated as soon as the pupillus reaches the age of puberty.

[IDEM libro secundo ad Sabinum. ] §28.6.14.prIn pupillari substitutione licet longius tempus comprehensum fuerit, tamen finietur substitutio pubertate.
[THE SAME, Book 2 of Commentary on Sabinus.] In pupillary substitution, even if a longer period of time has been specified, the substitution will nevertheless be terminated by puberty.

Notes

  1. §28.6.14.prlicet ... comprehensum fuerit — The concessive conjunction licet (although, even if) takes the third-person singular perfect passive subjunctive comprehensum fuerit to form a concessive clause.
  2. §28.6.14.prlongius — The comparative form of the adjective longus, modifying the neuter nominative singular subject tempus. It refers to a period of time "longer" than what is standard (i.e., beyond the age of puberty).
