Prohibition of Renouncing Residency Before Public Duties End

Passage 8677 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This text rules that a resident designated for public duties cannot renounce their residency status until that duty is fully completed.

[IDEM libro tertio regularum. ] §50.1.34.prIncola iam muneribus publicis destinatus nisi perfecto munere incolatui renuntiare non potest.
[THE SAME, In the Third Book of Rules] A resident who has already been designated for public duties cannot renounce his residency unless the duty has been completed.

Notes

  1. §50.1.34.prperfecto munere — An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun munus (duty) and the perfect participle perfectus in the ablative. Combined with the conjunction nisi (unless), it expresses a negative condition: "unless the duty has been completed."
  2. §50.1.34.princolatui — Dative singular of the noun incolatus (residency, status of a resident). It is in the dative case because the verb renuntiare (to renounce, reject) takes a dative complement.
