Validity of Mutual Voting Between Father and Son in the Curia

Passage 566 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian, citing Pomponius, notes that in municipal voting, the votes of a father and a son can mutually benefit each other.

[ULPIANUS libro octauo ad edictum. ] §3.4.5.prIllud notandum Pomponius ait, quod et patris suffragium filio proderit et filii patri,
[ULPIANUS, in the eighth book on the Edict.] Pomponius says that this point is to be noted, namely, that both the father's vote will benefit the son, and the son's [vote will benefit] the father.

Notes

  1. §3.4.5.prIllud notandum — The gerundive `notandum` has `esse` omitted, forming an accusative with infinitive construction dependent on the verb `ait`. The neuter pronoun `Illud` anticipates the content of the subsequent `quod` clause.
  2. §3.4.5.prfilii patri — Based on the parallel structure with the preceding clause `patris suffragium filio proderit`, the subject noun `suffragium` is omitted after the genitive `filii`, and the verb `proderit` is omitted after the dative `patri`.
