Suspected Procurators and Those Under Physical Restraint

Passage 502 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian begins to discuss cases where a procurator is suspected of being untrustworthy or is under physical constraint, such as being in chains or held by enemies or robbers.

[ULPIANUS libro nono ad edictum. ] §3.3.19.prItem si suspectus sit procurator aut in uinculis aut in hostium praedonumue potestate,
[ULPIAN, in the ninth book on the Edict.] Likewise, if a procurator is suspected, or in chains, or in the power of enemies or robbers,

Notes

  1. §3.3.19.prsuspectus sit procurator — The verb `sit` (present subjunctive, third-person singular) not only serves as a copula for the first complement `suspectus`, but also functions as the verb of existence/state for the subsequent coordinate prepositional phrases `in uinculis` and `in hostium praedonumue potestate`, sharing `procurator` as the common subject.
