CONCERNING THE PRAETOR OF SICILY.

( S. P. Scott, The Civil Law, XVII, Cincinnati, 1932 ).

The Epitome of the One Hundred and Fourth Novel is partly taken from Haloander, and partly from Julianus.

Sicily shall have a Praetor who will be entrusted with the administration of civil matters, and have charge of the military establishment.
(2) The collection of the public taxes of Sicily shall not be one of the duties of the Praetor, but shall devolve upon the Count of the Patrimony of Italy.
(3) Appeals from Sicily to this Capital shall be heard by the Most Excellent Quaestor; and decrees of the defenders of the city or of the municipal magistrates shall be confirmed by this illustrious dignitary, whenever this is necessary.
