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.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

We know a former law, etc. Things bequeathed to the church of Mysia for the redemption of captives and the support of the poor are to be sold, if they consist of buildings or vineyards farther from that place — provided, however, that he who bequeathed them shall have ordered the disbursement to be made from the sale of the things left. He who is summoned at law, if he absents himself, is to be condemned, as one plainly conducting an evil cause, because, the suit having been joined and he being lawfully summoned, he has not obeyed. Promulgated in the month of April, in the twelfth year of the reign of our lord Justinian, John being vir clarissimus, consul.
