CHAP. XXX. A Law setting [men] free from Banishment, from The Curia, and from Proscription of Goods.
LEt all those therefore, whether they be such as have changed their Country for a strange Soil; because they would not * 1.1 betray their Ho∣nour and Faith towards God, to which with their whole souls they had consecrated themselves, at what time soever each of them have been condemned by the cruell a 1.2 Sentences of the Judges: or, whether they be such as have been enrolled within the Cata∣logues of the Curiales, when as before they did not fill up their Number: be now restored both b 1.3 to their paternal Estates, and to their wonted leasure, and return thanks to God the Deliverer of all. Also, whoever have been deprived of their Goods, and, c 1.4 stricken with a * 1.5 Mulct of their whole substance, have hitherto led a most miserable and sad life; let them likewise be restored to their Pristine habitations, d 1.6 Fa∣milies, and Goods; and may they with gladness enjoy the Beneficence of God.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. In the Medi∣caean Copy 'tis 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; and a little af∣ter, the reading is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, have been enrol∣led together within, &c. In the King's Sheets and Fuketian Copy 'tis 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, have been enrolled within. Vales. The same with this last is the reading in Robert Stephens.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. In the Medicaean Copy the reading is righter, thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, he now restored both to their, &c. In the King's Copy the reading is also 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: in Robert Stephens 'tis 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Further, Eusebius here calls their paternall Lands or Estates,〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. For those that were lyable or bound to serve in the Curiae, (into which the richest persons were wont to be enrolled;) their Farms or Lands were en∣slaved to the Curiae; [that is, were burthened with such Services and Offices as belonged to the Courts of Corporations.] There∣fore, although they withdrew themselves by flight, it availed them nothing, in regard The Curia seized their Farms. Constantine there∣fore appoints by this Constitution, that those who had been bound to the Curiae on account of the Christian Faith, (provided their paternall Farms, which the Curia had made seizure of, were not of a Curial origi∣nal;) should recover those their paternall Farms. Wherefore Christo∣phorson has rendred it ill, thus, Patriis sedibus, to their Fathers seats. Turnebus in his Copy hath mended it, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 In the Fuketian Manuscript 'tis written 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; as 'tis also in SrHenry Savil's Copy, and in Christophorson.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, opprest. In the Medicaean Copy the reading is 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, stricken, which pleases me better. For, 'tis a Civill-Law Term. So, feriri mulctâ, to be stricken or smitten with a mulct, occurs frequently in the Constitutions of the Emperours. Vales.
