[ULPIANUS libro quadragesimo quinto ad Sabinum. ] §42.5.36.prEum, qui circa columnas se occultet, ut creditorem euitet, latitare placet: nam et eum, qui recedit, hoc est qui supterfugit, ne secum aliqua actio moueatur, latitare placet: tam et qui urbe profugit, utique fraudandi causa: nec enim interest, quod attinet ad latitandum, utrum quis profugerit an uero Romae agens copiam sui non facit.
[ULPIAN in his forty-fifth book on Sabinus.] It is held that a person who hides himself around columns in order to avoid his creditor is in concealment; for it is also held that a person who withdraws, that is, who flees, so that no action may be brought against him, is in concealment; and likewise a person who flees from the city, especially for the purpose of defrauding. For as far as concealment is concerned, it makes no difference whether someone has fled, or indeed, while living in Rome, does not make himself available.
