[PAULUS libro secundo ad edictum.] Strictly speaking, however, a deposit with a stakeholder is that which is delivered by several persons as a whole to be kept and restored under a certain condition.

Notes

  1. §16.3.6.prin solidum — A legal term meaning "as a whole" or "jointly". Here, it indicates that when there are multiple depositors (pluribus), the object is deposited as an undivided whole rather than in proportional parts.
  2. §16.3.6.prcustodiendum reddendumque — Gerundives in the nominative neuter singular, agreeing with the relative pronoun quod (nominative). They express purpose or obligation: "to be kept and restored".
