Summary

This section prohibits appellants from insulting a judge and prescribes that they will be marked with infamy if they do so.

[PAULUS libro quinto sententiarum. ] §47.10.42.prIudici ab appellatoribus conuicium fieri non oportet: alioquin infamia notantur.
[PAULUS in the fifth book of Sentences.] An insult must not be offered to a judge by appellants; otherwise, they are marked with infamy.

Notes

  1. §47.10.42.prIudici — Dative governed by the infinitive fieri, indicating the person to whom the insult is directed.
  2. §47.10.42.prnotantur — Third-person plural passive verb. The subject is 'the appellants' (appellatores), understood from the preceding ablative of agent ab appellatoribus. The ablative infamia functions as an ablative of means or cause.
