Minimum Deliberation Period of One Hundred Days
Summary
Paulus rules on the minimum duration for the time of deliberation, stating that it should not be less than one hundred days.
Notes
- §28.8.2.prpauciores centum dierum — pauciores is a comparative masculine plural nominative, functioning as the subject with the noun dies understood. centum dierum is a genitive plural. While Latin comparatives typically take the ablative of comparison or quam, the genitive here is used either as a genitive of measure (meaning 'fewer days of the measure of one hundred days') or under the influence of the Greek genitive of comparison.
