Infamy Following Theft and Governor's Power

Passage 7926 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Points out that a provincial governor does not have the power to exempt a person condemned of theft from the legal consequence of infamy.

[MACER libro secundo publicorum iudiciorum. ] §47.2.64.prNon poterit praeses prouinciae efficere, ut furti damnatum non sequatur infamia.
[MACER in the second book on Public Judgments.] The governor of a province will not be able to bring it about that infamy does not follow one condemned of theft.

Notes

  1. §47.2.64.prfurti damnatum — damnatum (the one condemned, accusative perfect passive participle of damnare used substantively) is the direct object of sequatur. furti (of theft) is a genitive of charge/crime modifying damnatum.
  2. §47.2.64.prefficere, ut... non sequatur — The verb efficere (to bring about) takes an ut clause with the subjunctive to express result. Although a negative result is typically introduced by ut ne or ne, ut... non is used here to emphasize the negation of a specific consequence.
