  1. 6.1.40.prquia nullum pignus creditor uendidisse uidetur

    Explains the reason for the conclusion in the preceding fragment by Ulpian (§6.1.39.1). The passive verb "uidetur" is used personally ("is considered to") with the infinitive "uendidisse". The clause means that the creditor is not deemed to have sold a valid pledge, as the underlying transaction was void under the Senatus Consultum Velleianum.
