Status of the Designated Third Party in Promising Services

Passage 5896 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Julianus points out that it makes no difference to the legal outcome whether the Lucius Titius mentioned in the previous section is a stranger or a son to the patron.

[IULIANUS libro uicensimo secundo digestorum. ] §38.1.11.pr(nihil autem interest, extraneus sit Lucius Titius an filius),

[JULIANUS, in the twenty-second book of the Digests.] (however, it makes no difference whether Lucius Titius is a stranger or a son),

Notes

§38.1.11.prnihil interest, extraneus sit Lucius Titius an filius — The impersonal verb `interest` introduces an indirect double question `extraneus sit ... an [sit]` with the subjunctive `sit`. `extraneus` (a stranger or outsider) refers to someone outside the family/power of the patron, contrasted here with `filius` (a son).
