This section discusses the inability to claim an entire flock when equal numbers of animals belonging to two persons are mixed, and the exclusion of another's animals from restitution when one person owns a vast majority of the flock.
[PAULUS libro uicensimo primo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, in the twenty-first book on the Edict.]
Sed si par numerus duorum interfuerit,1 neuter solidum gregem, sed ne partem dimidiam totius eius uindicabit.2 sed si maiorem numerum alter habeat, ut detracto alieno nihilo minus gregem uindicaturus sit,3 in restitutionem non ueniunt aliena capita.
But if an equal number of [animals] belonging to two persons is mixed in, neither of them shall claim the entire flock, nor indeed even a half part of the whole of it. But if one of them has a greater number, so that even when the other’s animals are subtracted he would nonetheless claim the flock, the other’s heads do not come into the restitution.
- 6.1.2.printerfuerit
The third-person singular perfect active subjunctive (or future perfect indicative) of the verb intersum ("to be mixed in" or "to be present among"). The subject is par numerus, and duorum ("of two persons") is a genitive plural indicating the owners. It refers to a situation where equal numbers of animals belonging to two different owners are mixed together.
- 6.1.2.prsed ne partem dimidiam totius eius uindicabit
The particle ne is used here as an emphatic negation, with quidem omitted from the formula ne ... quidem ("not even"). Since a real action (rei uindicatio) is designed to claim a specific physical thing, one cannot claim an indefinite "half part of the whole" (a co-ownership share) through this specific action.
- 6.1.2.prut detracto alieno nihilo minus gregem uindicaturus sit
The ut clause takes the subjunctive sit (combined with the future participle uindicaturus in a periphrastic conjugation) to express result or degree. detracto alieno is an ablative absolute, meaning "even though the other's [property] is subtracted."
