Ulpian argues that even if only the use of money is bequeathed, the term "use" should be interpreted to include "fruit," and the stipulation for return must be entered into. He also asserts that this stipulation is valid whether it is made before or after the money is delivered.
[ULPIANUS libro septuagensimo nono ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS in the seventy-ninth book on the Edict.]
quoniam1 pecuniae usus aliter amitti non potest quam his casibus.
because the use of money cannot be lost in any other way than in these events.
Si usus tantum pecuniae legatus sit, quia in hac specie usus appellatione etiam fructum contineri magis accipiendum est,2 stipulatio ista erit interponenda. et quidam aiunt non ante hanc interponi stipulationem, quam data fuerit pecunia: ego autem puto, siue antea siue postea pecunia data sit, tenere stipulationem.3
If only the use of money has been bequeathed, since in this species it should rather be accepted that the term “use” also includes “fruit,” that stipulation must be inserted. And some say that this stipulation is not to be inserted before the money has been paid over; but I think that, whether the money has been paid over before or after, the stipulation holds.
- 7.5.10.prquoniam
Explains the reason for the rule stated in the preceding text of Paulus (§7.5.9.pr) (that only two events, death and loss of status, are inserted in the stipulation for return). As a result of the compilation of the Digest, the text of a different jurist begins with a causal conjunction.
- 7.5.10.1magis accipiendum est
The verb accipere here means "to interpret" or "to understand". In this impersonal construction, it takes the following accusative and infinitive clause (etiam fructum contineri) as its subject, expressing a hermeneutical preference or judgment ("it is rather to be accepted that...").
- 7.5.10.1tenere stipulationem
An accusative and infinitive construction dependent on puto, where stipulationem is the subject accusative and tenere is the infinitive. In legal Latin, tenere is used intransitively to mean "to hold good," "to be valid," or "to bind."
