Penalties for Harboring Relegated Persons

Passage 8450 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

On the legal penalties for harboring relegated persons. Depending on the severity of the original crime of the relegated, the harborers may face a pecuniary penalty or relegation themselves.

[ULPIANUS libro decimo de officio proconsulis. ] §48.22.11.prInterdum pecuniaria poena irrogatur iis qui relegatos suscipiunt: interdum etiam ipsi relegantur, si quidem illi ob magnum crimen relegati sunt.
[ULPIANUS, On the Office of Proconsul, Book X] Sometimes a pecuniary penalty is imposed on those who harbor the relegated; sometimes they themselves are also relegated, if indeed those persons had been relegated for a major crime.

Notes

  1. §48.22.11.pripsi... illi — The referents of the contrasting demonstrative pronouns. The nominative 'ipsi' refers to the harborers (iis qui... suscipiunt), while 'illi' refers to the originally relegated persons (relegatos).
  2. §48.22.11.prsi quidem — Introduces a conditional clause. Accompanied by the indicative perfect 'relegati sunt', it presents an objective condition: 'if indeed (they had been relegated...)'.
