Notes
- §49.1.22.prcircumduci — Present passive infinitive of the verb circumducere (literally 'to lead around, deceive'). In a legal context, it is used to mean 'to annul, cancel, rescind' or 'to recall (a case or jurisdiction)'. Here, it signifies that a hearing once referred (remittere) to the emperor can be recalled or clawed back by the lower magistrate who made the referral.
