Passage 8443 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Marcianus defines the three kinds of exile: the interdiction of certain places, broad banishment (interdiction of all places except a specific one), and confinement to an island (relegation).

[IDEM libro primo regularum. ] §48.22.5.prExilium triplex est: aut certorum locorum interdictio, aut lata fuga, ut omnium locorum interdicatur praeter certum locum, aut insulae uinculum, id est relegatio in insulam.
[The same, Rules, Book I.] Exile is of three kinds: either the interdiction of certain places, or broad banishment, so that one is interdicted from all places except a certain place, or confinement to an island, that is, relegation to an island.

Notes

  1. §48.22.5.prlata fuga, ut omnium locorum interdicatur — The clause introduced by 'ut' explains the substance of 'lata fuga' (broad banishment). 'interdicatur' is used impersonally in the passive voice, with the person affected (in the dative) understood, and 'omnium locorum' acting as the genitive representing the thing forbidden.
  2. §48.22.5.prinsulae uinculum — The genitive 'insulae' is a genitive of definition or apposition (genitivus definitivus), meaning 'the confinement consisting in an island'.
