Verb

remittō (present infinitive remittere, perfect active remīsī, supine remissum); third conjugation

  1. to send back, to remit, to throw back
    Provinciam remitto. ― I abandon my province.
  2. to relax, to diminish
  3. to forgo, to do without
    • Dig. XVII.I.3 Paulus libro trigensimo secundo ad edictum
      Praeterea in causa mandati etiam illud vertitur, ut interim nec melior causa mandantis fieri possit, interdum melior, deterior vero numquam. Et quidem si mandavi tibi, ut aliquam rem mihi emeres, nec de pretio quicquam statui tuque emisti, utrimque actio nascitur. Quod si pretium statui tuque pluris emisti, quidam negaverunt te mandati habere actionem, etiamsi paratus esses id quod excedit remittere: namque iniquum est non esse mihi cum illo actionem, si nolit, illi vero, si velit, mecum esse.
      Meanwhile it belongs to the case of the mandate that the case of mandator cannot become better in the meantime, meanwhile better, but never worse. And for sure if I mandate you to buy me a thing and haven’t stated anything about its price then claims arise on both sides. But when I have stated the price and you have bought it for more, some deny your claim from the mandate, even if you have been ready to forgo the surplus: For it is unjust when I haven’t a claim against him if he wants not but he has a claim against me if he wants.
