Summary

It stipulates that a person who has been relegated from his native country but does not depart will be relegated from the province for a limited period.

[MARCIANUS libro. ] §48.22.12.prQui patria relegatus non excedit, ad tempus prouincia relegatur.
[MARCIANUS, from his Book [without title].] He who, having been relegated from his native country, does not depart, is relegated from the province for a time.

Notes

  1. §48.22.12.prpatria — Ablative of separation, used without a preposition to modify the verbs of departure or removal (relegatus, excedit, relegatur). The subsequent word prouincia functions in the same manner.
  2. §48.22.12.prrelegatus — Perfect passive participle agreeing with qui, the subject of the relative clause qui... non excedit. It is most naturally interpreted in a concessive sense ("although he has been relegated...").
  3. §48.22.12.prad tempus — A prepositional phrase meaning "for a limited time" or "temporarily," indicating a temporary measure in contrast to a permanent banishment (in perpetuum).
