W. Müller, Zum Edikt des Tiberius Julius Alexander (Festschrif

f . Friedrich Zucker, Berlin — Akademie Verlag 1954, 291—297)

In this essay the author deals with § 2 of the edict of Tiberius

Julius Alexander. According to his interpretation the governor

orders that in the future the Treasury officials when meeting a

de-bitor f i s c i , whose solvency may seem to them suspected, either

ought to keep his name in the book of debitores fisci or to make it

public in order to warn everyone against the business connections

with such an uncertain party. In the case of a particularly

insol-vent debtor, the seizure of a part of his property, for fiscal

secu-rity, should be registered in the land-register, which must be

offe-red for examination to everyone. By this disposition every debitor

fisci might be censured according to the grade of his insolvency.

Those who had entered in business relations with the proscribed

party had done so at their own risk and ought to reckon with an

eventual interference, reported by the prefect in the introduction.

The protopraxia should then be properly applied. All other

tran-sactions, however, concluded with persons against whom none of

the above mentioned measures was ordered, are subject to no

res-triction.
