Marcianus expresses his opinion that a person barred from office as a penalty is indeed excluded from the office but remains obligated to pay the associated expenses.

[MARCIANUS libro secundo publicorum iudiciorum. ] §48.22.8.prsed honore quidem illum arceri puto, ceterum impendia debere praestare.

Notes

  1. §48.22.8.prillum ... arceri ... debere — The accusative pronoun `illum` acts as the subject accusative in the accusative with infinitive (A.c.I.) construction governed by the main verb `puto`, serving as the subject for both the passive infinitive `arceri` and the active infinitive `debere`.
  2. §48.22.8.primpendia — Accusative plural of the neuter noun `impendium`, serving as the direct object of the infinitive `praestare` ('to afford, pay') in the second infinitive clause.
