Consideration of Age and Travel Restrictions in Enforcement

Passage 5559 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It states that age and legal status, specifically whether a person is legally permitted to travel to the destination, must also be taken into account when enforcing an obligation.

[PAULUS libro secundo fideicommissorum. ] §36.1.8.prDe aetate quoque et iure, id est liceat ei eo ire nec ne, aestimabitur.
[PAULUS from the second book on Trusts.] Account will also be taken of age and law, that is, whether it is permitted to him to go there or not.

Notes

  1. §36.1.8.praestimabitur — This is the third-person singular future passive of the verb aestimo, used impersonally here to mean "account will be taken" or "an evaluation will be made." The object of consideration is expressed by the prepositional phrase de aetate quoque et iure.
  2. §36.1.8.preo — Although homonymous with the ablative form of the demonstrative pronoun is, ea, id, this is the adverb meaning "thither" or "to that place." It refers to a specific destination, such as Alexandria mentioned in the preceding fragment (§36.1.7.pr).
