On the interdicted, the relegated, and the deported. 23.1.9. Exile exilium is named from ex out of and solum soil/land, so that an exile is one who has been driven out of his own soil and his own fatherland. There were three types of these: the interdicted, to whom access to and commerce with certain places were forbidden. The relegated, properly speaking, were those who were sent away to a place remote from friends and acquaintances. Improperly speaking, they were those who were as if confined to a certain place, such as those forbidden to leave their home, city, fatherland, or certain villages, or those forbidden from all places except for one certain location. The deported were those who, being punished by the loss of their citizenship and bound in chains or shackles (as is likely), were transported to an island. Between these and the relegated there was a difference: the deported lost their citizenship and property, the relegated neither; the former were transported in chains by ship to an island, the latter were ordered to depart; the former in perpetuity, the latter very often for a time: sometimes, however, these two terms are confused. Students should refer to Hotoman who, to omit others, annotated all these things most accurately and diligently.
