Summary

Marcianus cites a rescript of the deified Severus and Antoninus, stating that an ungrateful freedman can be accused through a procurator.

Notes

  1. §37.15.4.pringratum libertum posse argui — An accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction governed by `posse` and the passive infinitive `argui`. `ingratum libertum` serves as the subject accusative of the passive verb, with the entire clause functioning as the object of the main verb `rescripserunt` in indirect speech.
