Liability for Choosing an Unsuitable Person to Return Goods

Notes

1. 13.6.11.prqui — This relative clause, starting with qui ("one who..."), is connected by the compilers to supplement or limit the condition of liability (culpam praestare) at the end of the preceding passage by Ulpian (D. 13.6.10.1). The verb elegerit is in the perfect subjunctive (or future perfect indicative) within a characterizing or conditional relative clause.
2. 13.6.11.prnon tam idoneum hominem elegerit, ut recte id perferri possit — The correlation non tam ... ut ... possit introduces a subjunctive clause of result or degree (possit is the present subjunctive active third-person singular), meaning "a person not so suitable that it can be properly delivered." Here, id is the neuter accusative singular referring to the borrowed object (res) mentioned in the preceding text, and perferri is the present passive infinitive of perfero.
