The praepositio institoria in documents of
the practice: may we
find
an example in the
new interpretation
of TP Sulp.48?
This paper moves
from
the interpretation recently proposed
by
Éva Jakab for TPSulp. 48, belonging to
the archive of the Sulpicii. In her opinion, this
tablet might reflect a praepositio institoria.
After describing its content, I
take
into considerations all the proofs for and against such interpretation
by
comparing them
with the data
included in the legal sources and in other tablets of the same
archive. Finally, I
find it probable her interpretation, even
if not
all doubts are resolved.
