This section examines whether a surety in this situation can bring an action, concluding that an action for business managed is available unless the surety was provided with the intention of making a gift.
[IDEM libro quadragensimo quinto ad Sabinum.]
[THE SAME, on Sabinus, book 45.]
Sed uideamus, an fideiussor hic habere aliquam actionem possit: et uerum est negotiorum gestorum1 eum agere posse, nisi donandi animo2 fideiussit.
But let us see whether the surety in this case can have any action; and it is true that he can bring an action for business managed, unless he acted as surety with the intention of making a gift.
- 3.5.4.prnegotiorum gestorum
This is a genitive used with the verb agere (to bring an action), where the noun actione (by an action) is omitted, representing the standard elliptical expression for bringing an action for business managed.
- 3.5.4.prdonandi animo
The genitive of the gerund donandi (of giving) modifies the noun animo (intention/mind) in the ablative, functioning together as an ablative of manner ("with the intention of making a gift").
