Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §3.3.44.pr
Exemption from Trial Acceptance Due to Absence
Summary
Continuing from the previous fragment, this section adds further exceptional circumstances, such as being absent far away or other just causes, under which a procurator is not compelled to accept a trial.
Notes
- 3.3.44.pruel si — This fragment is connected by the compilers to the end of the previous fragment by Paul (§3.3.43.6), continuing Labeo's list of exceptions (quod si aut...). Therefore, the main clause (such as "he should not be compelled to accept the trial") is omitted and must be supplied from the context.
- 3.3.44.prlonginquo sit afuturus — afuturus is the future participle nominative masculine singular of absum (to be absent), referring to the procurator. longinquo is the neuter singular ablative of the adjective used adverbially, indicating spatial or temporal distance ("far away" or "for a long time").
