Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §4.3.3.pr

Conditions for Non-Application of the Edict on Fraud

Passage 664 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian begins to explain that the edict does not apply under certain conditions, and that this remains the case even if it is against another person.

[ULPIANUS libro undecimo ad edictum. ] §4.3.3.prnon habet hoc edictum locum, uerum etiam si aduersus alium
[ULPIANUS libro undecimo ad edictum.] this edict has no application; but even if against another

Notes

  1. §4.3.3.prnon habet hoc edictum locum — The phrase 'locum habere' is a technical legal expression meaning 'to apply', 'to be applicable', or 'to have force' in reference to laws, edicts, or actions.
  2. §4.3.3.pruerum etiam si — Here, 'uerum' is a conjunction meaning 'but', following the preceding negative sentence, and introduces a concessive clause with 'etiam si' ('even if'). It is not part of the 'non solum ... uerum etiam' ('not only... but also') construction.
