[MODESTINUS libro octauo regularum. ] §48.7.6.prEx senatus consulto Uolusiano, qui inprobe coeunt in alienam litem, ut, quidquid ex condemnatione in rem ipsius redactum fuerit, inter eos communicaretur, lege Iulia de ui priuata tenentur.

Notes

  1. §48.7.6.prqui ... tenentur — The relative clause starting with 'qui' (with the antecedent 'ei' omitted) serves as the subject of the main clause, whose main verb is 'tenentur'.
  2. §48.7.6.prut ... communicaretur — The 'ut' clause with the subjunctive verb 'communicaretur' expresses the purpose or the terms of the improper agreement (to share the proceeds) of those who conspire in the lawsuit.
  3. §48.7.6.prquidquid ex condemnatione in rem ipsius redactum fuerit — 'redactum fuerit' is the perfect subjunctive of 'redigere' (to recover, reduce). 'in rem ipsius redigere' is a legal idiom meaning "to recover into one's own property".
