The author explains that when an agreement is made, it is advisable to add a penal stipulation in addition to the Aquilian stipulation, so that the penalty can be claimed even if the agreement is rescinded.
[PAULUS libro primo sententiarum.]
[PAULUS in the first book of Opinions.]
Pacto conuento1 Aquiliana quidem stipulatio subici solet: sed consultius est huic2 poenalem quoque stipulationem subiungere, quia rescisso forte pacto poena ex stipulatu peti potest.
When an agreement has been made, an Aquilian stipulation is indeed usually added to it; but it is more advisable to add a penal stipulation to this as well, because, if the agreement should happen to be rescinded, the penalty can be claimed on the basis of the stipulation.
- 2.15.15.prPacto conuento
Interpreted as an ablative absolute ('when an agreement has been made') using the ablative form of the noun phrase 'pactum conventum'. Alternatively, it could be construed as a dative depending on the verb 'subici' ('added to an agreement'), but the ablative absolute is preferred as it establishes the general condition for the subsequent clauses more smoothly.
- 2.15.15.prhuic
Dative singular of the demonstrative pronoun 'hic'. It can refer either to the immediately preceding 'Aquiliana stipulatio' (feminine, 'to the Aquilian stipulation') or to the initial 'pacto conuento' (neuter, 'to that agreement'). Here, it is interpreted as neuter referring to 'pacto conuento', in the sense that one should add to the agreement not only the Aquilian stipulation but a penal one as well (quoque).
