This section discusses the application of agreements to joint debtors and banker partners, notes that personal agreements do not extend to third parties or heirs, and explains how a surety's agreement can indirectly benefit the principal debtor through the defence of fraud.
[IDEM libro tertio ad edictum.]
[THE SAME, On the Edict, book 3]
Idem1 in duobus reis promittendi et duobus argentariis sociis.
The same applies in the case of two joint debtors and of two banker partners.
Personale pactum ad alium non pertinere,2 quemadmodum nec ad heredem, Labeo ait.
Labeo says that a personal agreement does not apply to another, just as it does not apply to an heir.
Sed quamuis fideiussoris pactum reo non prosit, plerumque tamen doli exceptionem reo profuturam3 Iulianus scribit,
But although an agreement by a surety does not benefit the principal debtor, nevertheless Julian writes that in most cases the defence of fraud will benefit the principal debtor,
- 2.14.25.prIdem
A nominative neuter pronoun meaning 'the same thing'. In context, it refers to the rule mentioned in the preceding fragment (2.14.24) that an agreement applies to others under certain conditions. The verb (such as 'obtinet' or 'est') is omitted.
- 2.14.25.1Personale pactum ad alium non pertinere
An accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction introduced by the main verb 'Labeo ait'. 'Personale pactum' serves as the accusative subject, and 'pertinere' as the infinitive. The comparative clause 'quemadmodum nec ad heredem' (with 'pertinet' understood) is embedded within it.
- 2.14.25.2doli exceptionem reo profuturam
An accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction dependent on the main verb 'Iulianus scribit', with the auxiliary 'esse' omitted from the future active infinitive 'profuturam [esse]'. The accusative subject is 'doli exceptionem'. Although the concessive clause 'quamuis ... non prosit' is placed first, the main thrust of the sentence in the A.C.I. is highlighted by 'tamen'.
