Extraordinary Penalty Imposed for Prevarication

Passage 8076 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian points out that today an extraordinary penalty is imposed on those who have committed prevarication.

[ULPIANUS libro nono de officio proconsulis. ] §47.15.2.prSciendum, quod hodie is, qui praeuaricati sunt, poena iniungitur extraordinaria.
[ULPIAN, in the ninth book on the office of proconsul.] It should be known that today an extraordinary penalty is imposed on those who have prevaricated.

Notes

  1. §47.15.2.pris — Interpreted as a misspelling or phonetic variant of the plural dative iis (or eis). Since the verb in the relative clause qui praeuaricati sunt is plural (sunt), and the main verb iniungitur (is imposed) requires a dative complement, is functions as a plural dative meaning 'on those who have prevaricated'.
