=Triboniano.= Tribonian, a famous jurist, minister under Justinian and one of the leading compilers of the _corpus juris civilis_. =Emiliano y Triberiano.= These names are used humorously. Benavente may have invented them, or he may have meant them as mistaken references of the Doctor to eminent jurists. Thus Emiliano might be Aemilius Papinianus, a Roman jurist who lived about 200 A.D., while Triberiano might relate to the _senatusconsultum Trebellianum_, ascribed to Trebellius Maximus, a consul in Rome under Nero. [97.1] =Quedaron suspensos...= This speech, which may or may not be taken as incomplete, seems to refer to the accusers of Crispín and Leandro, and to mean 'They are taken aback.' It might also refer to the suspension of court proceedings. For the preterit, see page 8, note 1. [98.1] =Ved.= A slight change has to be made in the translation, as is sometimes the case when =ver= is semi-exclamatory; translate 'look out' or 'be careful about'; cf. the English 'see to.' [98.2] =hayáis.= See page 80, note 1. [100.1] =talión.= A word existing also in English; it comes from the Latin _talio_ and means 'retaliation,' or more precisely a penalty that consists in making a guilty man suffer the same injury that he caused. [100.2] =Equitas justicia magna est.= The Latin form of the Spanish sentence immediately preceding. [100.3] =las Pandectas= 'the Pandects.' The name given to the compendium or digest, the most important part of the _corpus juris civilis_, compiled by Justinian's orders. [100.4] =Triboniano con Emiliano Triboniano.= The Doctor does not seem particularly clear in his references. He is, however, true to his dictatorial and showy character; see page 94, note 3. [104.1] =¿De ley?=--=Oro de le=y is gold approved by law and therefore standard; cf. 'legal tender.' Crispín makes a joke by assuming knowledge of such a thing in a man versed in the law. _Attention is called to the following remarks_ 1. The vocabulary is meant to give English equivalents of words and locutions as found in this book, and its scope is therefore limited. Only meanings actually encountered in the text are given except when the definition illustrates a rare or perplexing usage from which the student might be led to infer a general usage. 2. The aim has been to combine clearness and consistency, but when a choice between them has been necessary clearness has been preferred. Thus, if two or more parts of speech are represented by the same word, they are sometimes noted separately, and sometimes put under one heading. 3. When a word found in the text is used both as an adjective and as a substantive the meanings are placed under one heading (the adjective) if the English translation can be made by adding such a word as 'man' or 'person' to the adjective. Otherwise separate headings are allotted. If the word occurs only in the substantive sense, though ordinarily employed in Spanish as a well-known adjective, both meanings are stated.
