Disqualification from Accusing Due to Poverty

Passage 8137 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Hermogenianus lists those who possess less than fifty aurei as examples of people prohibited from bringing criminal accusations on account of poverty.

[HERMOGENIANUS libro sexto iuris epitomarum. ] §48.2.10.prnonnulli propter paupertatem, ut sunt qui minus quam quinquaginta aureos habent.
[HERMOGENIANUS, Epitomes of Law, Book 6] Some are prohibited on account of poverty, such as those who possess less than fifty aurei.

Notes

  1. §48.2.10.prnonnulli — Nominative plural masculine. In the overall context of D. 48.2 (on those who cannot accuse), a verb phrase such as 'are prohibited from accusing' (prohibentur accusare) is understood.
  2. §48.2.10.prminus quam — An expression denoting comparison of quantity. Here, quinquaginta aureos (accusative plural) serves as the direct object of habent, and minus quam acts adverbially to mean 'less than' without affecting the case.
