Ad edictum praetoris urbani libri
Ex ‘Qui neque sequantur neque ducantur’ titulo
Dig. 50,16,48Gaius libro ..... ad edictum praetoris urbani titulo qui neque sequantur neque ducantur. ‘Solutum’ non intellegimus eum, qui, licet vinculis levatus sit, manibus tamen tenetur: ac ne eum quidem intellegimus solutum, qui in publico sine vinculis servatur.
Gaius, On the Edict of the Urban Prætor, Title, “Those who can neither be Summoned nor Brought into Court.” We do not understand a person to be released who, although his chains have been removed, is still held by the hands; just as we do not understand anyone to be released who is retained in custody without chains.
