It records Minicius's response that ownership is maintained when one repairs one's ship with another's material, along with Julian's qualification that in the case of newly building a ship, the outcome is different as ownership follows the status of the keel.
[IULIANUS libro sexto ex Minicio.]
[JULIAN in the sixth book from Minicius.]
Minicius interrogatus, si quis nauem suam aliena materia refecisset, num nihilo minus eiusdem1 nauis maneret. respondit manere. sed si in aedificanda ea idem fecisset, non posse2 IULIANUS notat: nam proprietas totius nauis carinae causam3 sequitur.
Minicius, having been asked whether, if someone had repaired his own ship with another person’s material, it nonetheless remained the property of the same owner, answered that it did. But Julian notes that if he had done the same in building it, this is not possible; for the ownership of the entire ship follows the condition of the keel.
- 6.1.61.preiusdem
Genitive of possession, referring to an implied owner (such as domini). It means "remained the property of the same owner." nauis is the subject of the verb maneret.
- 6.1.61.prnon posse
An accusative-with-infinitive construction functioning as the object of Iulianus notat. The omitted subject and complement are understood from the preceding context as nauem eiusdem manere non posse (that the ship cannot remain the property of the same owner).
- 6.1.61.prcarinae causam
causa here means legal "condition," "status," or "legal position," rather than "cause" or "reason." It refers to the legal doctrine of accession or specification, where the ownership of the whole ship follows the legal status of the keel (carina), which is the foundation of the vessel.
