potestal1880

1880 J. Muirhead tr. Gaius Institutes i. §78 Of opinion that my action is only suspended while the child or slave is in my potestas, because I cannot proceed against myself, but that it revives on the potestal relationship coming to an end.

1936 C. Gore et al. New Comm. Holy Script. 669 Descent was reckoned through the father, and potestal authority was exercised over the children, who were regarded as the property of the father and could be seized for debt.
