  3. to sue, to let be summoned to court
    • a. 228, Dig., Ulpianus libro 25 ad edictum, 11.7.14.7:
      Potest tamen distingui et misericordiae modus, ut in hoc fuerit misericors vel pius qui funeravit, ut eum sepeliret, ne insepultus iaceret, non etiam ut suo sumptu fecerit: quod si iudici liqueat, non debet eum qui convenitur absolvere: quis enim sine pietatis intentione alienum cadaver funerat?
      It is nonetheless possible to distinguish the mode of kindheartedness, wherein when someone was kind or pious as to inter someone, so he is not unburied, he would not do so from his own pocket: if this is clear to the judge, he must not acquit him who is sued: for who inters a strange body without any stirring of piety?
