Magistrates as an Example of Those Not Absent

Passage 769 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Magistrates are adduced as an example of those who, while serving the state in Rome, are not considered to be "absent" for the sake of the state.

[PAULUS libro duodecimo ad edictum. ] §4.6.6.prut sunt magistratus.
[PAULUS libro duodecimo ad edictum.] as, for example, magistrates are.

Notes

  1. §4.6.6.prut sunt magistratus — This clause connects to the preceding sentence of Ulpian (§4.6.5.1). Paulus adduces magistrates (magistratus, nominative plural) as a concrete example of those who serve the state in Rome but are not considered "absent". 'ut' is used here to introduce an illustrative example.
