Summary

Rules that an inhabitant must obey the magistrates, submit to the jurisdiction, and perform public duties in both the municipality of their residence and that of their citizenship.

[GAIUS libro primo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §50.1.29.prIncola et his magistratibus parere debet, apud quos incola est, et illis, apud quos ciuis est: nec tantum municipali iurisdictioni in utroque municipio subiectus est, uerum etiam omnibus publicis muneribus fungi debet.
[GAIUS, On the Provincial Edict, Book I] inhabitant must obey both those magistrates in whose jurisdiction he is an inhabitant, and those in whose jurisdiction he is a citizen; and he is not only subject to municipal jurisdiction in both municipalities, but he also must perform all public duties.

Notes

  1. §50.1.29.pret his... et illis — The correlative structure et... et... meaning 'both... and...'. The noun magistratibus is understood after illis.
  2. §50.1.29.promnibus publicis muneribus fungi — The deponent verb fungi (to perform, discharge) takes the ablative case (here, omnibus publicis muneribus) as its object.
