ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

The same Augustus. When the owner delays to receive the emphyteutic rent (emphyteuma), the emphyteuta (holder of the emphyteusis) has permission to deposit it, and at Constantinople indeed, at the end of the triennium, to attest the same thing before the hyparchs [or praetorian prefects], or before the prefect of the city, or the competent magistrate of the one refusing, or the patriarch, if the owner be a powerful man; but in the provinces before the governor, or, if he does not reside there, before the defender or the bishop of the city in which the one who refuses resides; and to take the attestation of one of them: and unless he has thus received the rent (canon), the rent is dissolved, and the emphyteuta gains the rent even of the following period, and up to the point at which the owner sends, by attestation, to demand what is sought;
for from thenceforth, and not from the time past, will he receive; and after a triennium, following an attestation of this kind, he will be able to expel the undevoted (negligent) emphyteuta.
