Summary

Explains that the Apronian Senate Consult mandates the restoration of trust inheritances to all cities under Roman rule, along with the transfer of associated actions and the admission of municipal citizens to those actions.

[PAULUS libro singulari de senatus consultis. ] §36.1.27.prOmnibus ciuitatibus, quae sub imperio populi Romani sunt, restitui debere et posse hereditatem fideicommissam Apronianum senatus consultum iubet.

[PAULUS in his single book on Senate Consults.] The Apronian Senate Consult orders that a trust inheritance ought to and can be restored to all cities which are under the empire of the Roman people.

sed et actiones in eas placuit ex Trebelliano transferri: sed municipes ad eas admittuntur.

But it was also pleased that actions should be transferred to them based on the Trebellian Senate Consult; but the municipal citizens are admitted to these actions.

Notes

§36.1.27.prrestitui debere et posse — This is an accusative and infinitive construction with 'hereditatem fideicommissam' as its subject accusative, serving as the object of the main verb 'iubet' (orders that...).
§36.1.27.prplacuit — Used impersonally to mean 'it was decided' or 'it was resolved'. The subsequent infinitive clause 'actiones... transferri' serves as the logical subject.
§36.1.27.prad eas — The antecedent of the feminine plural demonstrative pronoun 'eas' is 'actiones' (actions) in the preceding clause. This indicates that the municipal citizens (municipes) are admitted to exercise these actions on behalf of the city.
