Passage 9161 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that when a law specifies a period of two months, a person arriving on the sixty-first day must still be heard, in accordance with a rescript by Emperor Antoninus and his divine father.

[PAULUS libro singulari de cognitionibus. ] §50.17.101.prUbi lex duorum mensum fecit mentionem, et qui sexagensimo et primo die uenerit, audiendus est: ita enim et imperator Antoninus cum diuo patre suo rescripsit.
[PAULUS, from his single book on Extraordinary Proceedings.]\n\nWhere the law has made mention of two months, even he who comes on the sixty-first day must be heard; for Emperor Antoninus also, together with his divine father, rescribed to this effect.

Notes

  1. §50.17.101.prmensum — An archaic or contracted genitive plural form of mensis, equivalent to mensium.
  2. §50.17.101.prsexagensimo et primo die — On the sixty-first day. Assuming a standard month of thirty days, two months equal sixty days, making the sixty-first day the day immediately following the expiration of the period.
  3. §50.17.101.prrescripsit — Although the subject is accompanied by cum diuo patre suo (together with his divine father), the verb rescripsit is in the third-person singular, agreeing with the singular nominative subject imperator Antoninus.
