Passage 8223 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpianus' provision on applying the law on public violence to anyone who lends men to ensure that a certain act or decision stands.

[ULPIANUS libro quinquagensimo nono ad edictum. ] §48.6.4.prutiue id staret, homines commodauerit:
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book 59] or, in order that it might stand, has lent men.

Notes

  1. §48.6.4.prutiue id staret — utiue is composed of the conjunction uti (an archaic or formal variant of ut) and the disjunctive enclitic -ve (or). staret is the imperfect subjunctive of the intransitive verb stare (to stand, remain in force), forming a purpose clause. id (it) refers contextually to a specific decision or status quo obtained through force or illegal means.
  2. §48.6.4.prhomines commodauerit — commodauerit (has lent) is the third-person singular perfect subjunctive (or future perfect indicative) of commodare. It functions as part of a relative clause (or equivalent conditional clause) whose subject is the implicit qui (who) from the overarching formulaic structure "Eadem lege tenetur, qui..." (Anyone who... is bound by the same law) seen in the preceding texts (such as D. 48.6.3.6).
