De albo scribendo

(Concerning the Register of Decurions.)

1Ul­pia­nus li­bro ter­tio de of­fi­cio pro­con­su­lis. De­cu­rio­nes in al­bo ita scrip­tos es­se opor­tet, ut le­ge mu­ni­ci­pa­li prae­ci­pi­tur: sed si lex ces­sat, tunc dig­ni­ta­tes erunt spec­tan­dae, ut scri­ban­tur eo or­di­ne, quo quis­que eo­rum ma­xi­mo ho­no­re in mu­ni­ci­pio func­tus est: pu­ta qui duum­vi­ra­tum ges­se­runt, si hic ho­nor prae­cel­lat, et in­ter duum­vi­ra­les an­ti­quis­si­mus quis­que prior: de­in­de hi, qui se­cun­do post duum­vi­ra­tum ho­no­re in re pu­bli­ca func­ti sunt: post eos qui ter­tio et de­in­ceps: mox hi qui nul­lo ho­no­re func­ti sunt, pro­ut quis­que eo­rum in or­di­nem venit. 1In sen­ten­tiis quo­que di­cen­dis idem or­do spec­tan­dus est, quem in al­bo scri­ben­do di­xi­mus.

1Ulpianus, On the Duties of Proconsul, Book III. The names of decurions should be entered upon a register, as is prescribed by the municipal law. Where, however, there is no law on this point, the rank of each should be considered, so that they may be registered in the order in which each one of them enjoys the highest distinction in the city; as, for instance, those who have held the office of duumvir, if this is the highest, and among the duumvirs, the one who first held office, shall take precedence; and after him those who have performed the duties of duumvirs in the municipal government; and, after them, those who come third, and the others in succession, and then those who previously have held no office shall be registered, so that each one shall appear in his proper place. 1In casting their votes, the same order shall be considered which we have stated should be observed in registering their names.

2Idem li­bro se­cun­do opi­nio­num. In al­bo de­cu­rio­num in mu­ni­ci­pio no­mi­na an­te scri­bi opor­tet eo­rum, qui dig­ni­ta­tes prin­ci­pis iu­di­cio con­se­cu­ti sunt, post­ea eo­rum, qui tan­tum mu­ni­ci­pa­li­bus ho­no­ri­bus func­ti sunt.

2The Same, Opinions, Book II. The names of the recipients of honors at the hands of the Emperor should first be entered upon the register of the decurions in a city; and afterwards the names of those who only have discharged the duties of municipal offices.
