Payment of Pay to Reinstated Soldiers Accused of Desertion

Passage 8617 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This text regulates the payment of allowances and wages to soldiers who were marked for desertion and reinstated, depending on whether their innocence is subsequently established or not.

[PAPINIANUS libro nono decimo responsorum. ] §49.16.15.prEx causa desertionis notatus ac restitutus temporis, quod in desertione fuerit, impendiis expungitur.
[PAPINIANUS, from the nineteenth book of Opinions.] He who has been marked on account of desertion and reinstated is removed from the allowances of the time he was in desertion.
quod si ratio constiterit neque desertorem fuisse apparuerit, omnia stipendia citra temporis finem redduntur.
But if the facts are established and it appears that he was not a deserter, all his pay is restored to him before the end of the term.

Notes

  1. §49.16.15.prtemporis ... impendiis expungitur — expungitur ("is removed") is construed with the ablative impendiis ("allowances"), meaning "is removed from the allowances". temporis ("of the time") is a genitive qualifying impendiis.
  2. §49.16.15.prcitra temporis finem — The preposition citra ("before", "without waiting for") takes the accusative temporis finem ("the end of the term"), meaning "without waiting for the end of the term" (i.e. immediately).
