Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §3.3.7.pr
Status of Procurators for Those Deemed Present
Summary
Ulpian explains that, based on the criteria in the preceding section, the procurator of someone in the city is deemed to be the procurator of a person who is present.
Notes
- §3.3.7.preius praesentis — The genitive singular demonstrative pronoun 'eius' and the genitive singular present participle 'praesentis' (used substantively to mean 'one who is present') form a phrase modifying 'procurator'. In connection with the previous section (§3.3.6.pr), it refers to 'the procurator of that person who is present'.
- §3.3.7.presse uidetur — Rather than an impersonal passive, 'uidetur' is the third-person singular passive agreeing with the subject 'procurator', and together with the infinitive 'esse', it means 'is deemed to be' or 'is considered to be'.
