Scope of Exemption Granted to Children and Descendants

Passage 8710 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It stipulates that the exemption and immunity granted to someone's children and descendants apply only to those who belong to his family.

[IDEM libro quinto decimo ex Cassio. ] §50.4.13.prUacatio itemque immunitas, quae liberis et posteris alicuius data est, ad eos dumtaxat pertinet, qui eius familiae sunt.
[THE SAME, In the Fifteenth Book of Cassius.] Exemption as well as immunity, which is given to the children and descendants of anyone, pertains only to those who are of his family.

Notes

  1. 50.4.13.prquae ... data est — Although the antecedent consists of two feminine nouns (uacatio itemque immunitas), the relative pronoun quae and the verb data est agree in the singular with the nearer noun, immunitas, or treat the two terms as a single joint concept.
  2. 50.4.13.preius familiae sunt — familiae is a genitive of possession or belonging (a type of characteristic genitive), where eius familiae esse means 'to belong to his family' or 'to be of his family'.
