Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §12.1.7.pr

Conditions and Terms Applicable to Stipulations and Loans

Passage 1862 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpianus states that whatever terms, including conditions, can be inserted into verbal stipulations can also be applied to the actual payment of money in a loan.

[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo sexto ad edictum. ] §12.1.7.prOmnia, quae inseri stipulationibus possunt, eadem possunt etiam numerationi pecuniae, et ideo et condiciones.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, book 26] All things that can be inserted into stipulations can also be inserted into the counting out of money, and therefore conditions as well.

Notes

  1. §12.1.7.prpossunt etiam numerationi pecuniae — The passive infinitive `inseri` (to be inserted) from the preceding relative clause is understood after `possunt`, yielding the meaning 'can also [be inserted] into the counting out of money'. Similarly, `possunt inseri` is omitted after `et condiciones` at the end of the sentence.
  2. §12.1.7.prnumerationi pecuniae — `numerationi` is the dative singular of the feminine noun `numeratio` (counting out, payment), as required by the compound verb `inserere` (here in the omitted passive form `inseri`). `pecuniae` is the genitive modifying it. It refers to the actual delivery or counting out of money necessary to contract a loan (mutuum).
