The principle of the inviolability of the home from Paul's commentary, stating that no one should be forcibly removed from their own house.

Notes

  1. §50.17.103.prextrahi debet — The verb of obligation debet ("ought") takes the passive infinitive extrahi ("to be dragged out") as its complement. The subject Nemo ("no one") acts as the semantic patient of this passive action.
  2. §50.17.103.prdomo sua — Ablative of separation governed by the preposition de ("from"). The noun domus ("house") is a mixed second and fourth declension noun, appearing here in the ablative singular form domo, modified by the possessive adjective sua.
