Exclusion of Countryside Dwellers from City Residency

Passage 8678 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This text explains that a person residing in the countryside is not considered a resident in the legal sense because they do not enjoy the privileges of that city.

[IDEM libro primo excusationum. ] §50.1.35.prΕἰδέναι χρὴ ὅτι ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ καταμένων ἰνκόλας οὐ νομίζεται· ὁ γὰρ ἐκείνης τῆς πόλεως ἐξαιρέτοις μὴ χρώμενος οὕτως οὐ νομίζεται εἶναι ἰνκόλας.

[THE SAME, In the First Book on Excuses] It should be known that one who resides in the countryside is not considered a resident; for he who does not enjoy the privileges of that city is thus not considered to be a resident.

Notes

§50.1.35.prἰνκόλας — A Greek transliteration of the Latin legal term incola (resident), declined here as a Greek first-declension masculine noun.
§50.1.35.prἐξαιρέτοις — Dative plural of the neuter noun ἐξαίρετον (privilege, special right), serving as the object of the participle χρώμενος (from χράομαι), which governs the dative case.
