Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §42.5.22.pr-42.5.22.1

Exclusion of Privileges for Curators of Absentees or Captives

Passage 6971 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

After stating that the same privilege applies to the mentally incapacitated, etc., it explains that if a curator is appointed for the property of an absent person, a captive, or during the heirs' deliberation, this privilege should not be granted.

[ULPIANUS libro sexagesimo tertio ad edictum. ] §42.5.22.pridem priuilegium competere.
[ULPIAN, on the Edict, book 63] the same privilege applies.
§42.5.22.1Sed si bonis curator datus sit uel absentis uel ab hostibus capti uel dum deliberant scripti heredes de adeunda hereditate, non oportebit priuilegium dari: non enim in eadem causa est.
But if a curator has been appointed for the property either of an absent person, or of one captured by enemies, or while the instituted heirs are deliberating on entering upon the inheritance, the privilege ought not to be granted; for it is not in the same case.

Notes

  1. §42.5.22.prcompetere — Infinitive. It is an accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction in indirect speech, depending on the main verb of the preceding text (such as D. 42.5.20).
  2. §42.5.22.1bonis — Dative governed by datus sit, forming part of the expression "a curator appointed for the property" (curator bonis datus).
  3. §42.5.22.1uel absentis uel ab hostibus capti uel dum deliberant — The conjunction uel coordinates the genitive noun phrases (absentis, capti) and the temporal clause (dum clause), both of which qualify the "property" (bonis) for which the curator is appointed.
