It states that the Emperor Commodus revoked the privilege of rings from those who had obtained it against the will or without the knowledge of their patrons.

[MARCIANUS libro primo institutionum. ] §40.10.3.prDiuus Commodus et ius anulorum datum ademit illis, qui inuitis aut ignorantibus patronis acceperant.
[BY MARCIANUS, from the first book of Institutes.] The Divine Commodus also took away the granted privilege of rings from those who had received it against the will of or without the knowledge of their patrons.

Notes

  1. §40.10.3.prinuitis aut ignorantibus patronis — An ablative absolute construction where the noun patronis is modified by the adjective inuitis and the present participle ignorantibus. It translates to "against the will of or without the knowledge of their patrons."
  2. §40.10.3.prademit illis — The verb adimo (to take away, deprive) takes the dative of separation illis (dative plural of the demonstrative ille) to indicate the persons from whom the privilege was taken.
