Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §36.1.40.pr

Restrictions on Restitution of an Estate to a Tutor

Passage 5593 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian points out that concerning the restoration of an inheritance, it cannot be made even to the tutor himself without distinction.

[ULPIANUS libro sexto decimo ad edictum. ] §36.1.40.prSed nec ipsi tutori indistincte restitui potest.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book XVI] But it cannot be restored even to the tutor himself without distinction.

Notes

  1. §36.1.40.prSed nec — Here `nec` is not merely a negative conjunction but carries an emphatic meaning of "not even," modifying the following phrase `ipsi tutori` (even to the tutor himself).
  2. §36.1.40.prrestitui potest — An impersonal passive construction. `potest` (3rd person singular present of `posse`) expresses possibility ("it can be"), which is complemented by the passive infinitive `restitui` ("to be restored").
