Paulus broadens the scope of what is considered "accepting money" for vexatious litigation, including debt release, interest-free loans, and undervalued transactions, while stating that direct acceptance by the principal is not required if they ordered or ratified the receipt.
[PAULUS libro decimo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, on the Edict, book 10]
Quin etiam si quis obligatione liberatus sit, potest uideri cepisse: idemque si gratuita pecunia utenda1 data sit, aut minoris2 locata uenditaue res sit. nec refert, ipse pecuniam acceperit an alii dari iusserit uel acceptum suo nomine ratum habuerit.3
Nay, even if anyone has been released from an obligation, he can be seen to have accepted. And the same applies if money has been given to be used without interest, or if a thing has been leased or sold for less than its value. And it makes no difference whether he himself accepted the money, or ordered it to be given to another, or ratified what was accepted in his name.
- 3.6.2.prutenda
A gerundive agreeing with the noun pecunia, expressing purpose ("to be used"). Thus, gratuita pecunia utenda data sit means "if money has been given to be used without interest (gratis)."
- 3.6.2.prminoris
Genitive of price or value (genitivus pretii / valoris), meaning "for less" or "at an undervalued price." It refers to cases where a thing was leased (locata) or sold (uendita) below its fair value.
- 3.6.2.prratum habuerit
The subjunctive perfect of the legal idiom ratum habere, meaning "to ratify" or "to approve." It refers to the subsequent approval of what was accepted (acceptum) by another person in one's own name (suo nomine).
