Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §11.7.25.pr

Exclusion of Value of Freed Slaves from Deductions

Passage 1829 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus supplements the previous discussion by stating that the value of manumitted slaves should not be deducted from the estate either.

[PAULUS libro uicensimo septimo ad edictum. ] §11.7.25.prnec pretiis manumissorum
[PAULUS, On the Edict, book 27] nor the values of those manumitted.

Notes

  1. §11.7.25.prnec pretiis manumissorum — This phrase continues the ablative absolute construction `non deductis legatis` from the preceding section (§11.7.24.pr), with `[non/nec] deductis` understood. `pretiis` is the ablative plural of the neuter noun `pretium` (value, price). `manumissorum` is the genitive plural of the perfect passive participle `manumissus` (manumitted) used substantively ("of those who have been manumitted"), modifying `pretiis` as a possessive genitive.
