Summary

Presents the general rule that in all praetorian stipulations, security is also provided to proctors.

[ULPIANUS libro septuagensimo nono ad edictum. ] §46.5.3.prGeneraliter in omnibus praetoriis stipulationibus et procuratoribus satisdatur.
[ULPIANUS on the Edict, Book LXXIX] Generally, in all praetorian stipulations, security is also given to proctors.

Notes

  1. §46.5.3.prsatisdatur — The third-person singular passive of the verb satisdare (to give security), used impersonally to mean "security is given". The recipient of the security is indicated by the dative (procuratoribus).
  2. §46.5.3.pret procuratoribus — Here, et does not function as a coordinating conjunction connecting clauses, but rather as an adverb modifying the immediately following noun, meaning "also" or "even". It emphasizes that security is provided not only to the principal but also to their proctor (procurator).
