Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §3.3.6.pr

Presumption of Presence in Forum, City, or Buildings

Passage 489 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

According to Paulus, anyone who is in the forum, in the city, or in the adjoining buildings is also considered present.

[PAULUS libro sexto ad edictum. ] §3.3.6.pret qui in foro et qui in urbe et in continentibus aedificiis:
[PAULUS libro sexto ad edictum.] and he who is in the forum, and he who is in the city, and he who is in the adjoining buildings [is also considered as present].

Notes

  1. §3.3.6.pret qui — This fragment continues the ruling from the preceding text of Ulpian (§3.3.5.pr). The main predicate, such as 'praesens habetur' (is considered present), is elliptically omitted from the context.
  2. §3.3.6.prin continentibus aedificiis — 'continentia aedificia' is a technical term in Roman law referring to buildings that are contiguous to or adjoining the city. The preceding relative clause structure 'qui [est]' is understood to govern this prepositional phrase as well.
