Gaius notes that since the edict makes no mention of the payment of the price, it can be inferred that actual payment is not intended by the praetor to be a requirement for the action.
[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS on the Provincial Edict, book 7]
De pretio uero soluto nihil exprimitur: unde potest coniectura capi, quasi nec sententia praetoris ea sit, ut requiratur,1 an solutum sit pretium.
But nothing is expressed about the payment of the price; whence a conjecture can be made, as if it were not even the intention of the praetor that it should be required whether the price has been paid.
- 6.2.8.prsententia praetoris ea sit, ut requiratur
The demonstrative pronoun ea agrees in gender and number (feminine singular) with the subject of the clause sententia, and the subsequent ut clause (ut requiratur...) functions as a noun clause explaining the content of ea. Thus, it means "that such is the intention of the praetor, namely, that it should be required..." (negated by nec).
