Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §3.3.21.pr

Disqualification of an Agent by Exile, Concealment, or Enmity

Passage 504 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This text lists additional grounds on which a procurator cannot act or loses eligibility, such as exile, concealment, or becoming an enemy.

[GAIUS libro tertio ad edictum prouinciale. ] §3.3.21.pruel exilio, uel si latitet, uel inimicus postea fiat,
[GAIUS, in the third book on the Provincial Edict.] or by exile, or if he should hide, or if he should afterwards become an enemy,

Notes

  1. §3.3.21.prexilio — Ablative of cause. It continues the grammatical structure of the ablatives and the verb distringatur from the preceding section (D. 3.3.20.pr), meaning 'distracted by exile.'
  2. §3.3.21.prinimicus postea fiat — Third-person singular present subjunctive. The preceding conjunction si ('if') also governs this clause, forming the conditional 'or if he should afterwards become an enemy.'
