Summary

Ulpian explains that an attorney can be appointed for a future lawsuit, or with a starting term, under a condition, or with an expiration term.

[ULPIANUS libro nono ad edictum. ] §3.3.3.prItem et ad litem futuram et in diem et sub condicione et usque ad diem dari potest
[ULPIANUS libro nono ad edictum.] Likewise, [a procurator] can be appointed both for a future lawsuit, and from a certain day, and under a condition, and up to a certain day.

Notes

  1. §3.3.3.prdari potest — The implied subject of the passive infinitive 'dari' is 'procurator' (attorney/agent), understood from the general context of this title.
  2. §3.3.3.prin diem ... usque ad diem — 'in diem' refers to a starting date (dies a quo, 'from a certain day'), whereas 'usque ad diem' refers to an expiration date (dies ad quem, 'up to a certain day').
