Passage 2577 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian's opinions on the pooling of future inheritances and the joint bearing of expenses incurred for the honor of one partner's children within a partnership of all fortunes.

[ULPIANUS libro primo responsorum. ] §17.2.73.prMaximino respondit, si societatem uniuersarum fortunarum coierint, id est earum quoque rerum, quae postea cuique adquirentur, hereditatem cuiuis eorum delatam in commune redigendam.
[ULPIANUS, in the first book of Opinions.] He replied to Maximinus that, if they entered into a partnership of all their fortunes, that is, also of those things which should thereafter be acquired by each of them, an inheritance devolving upon any of them must be brought into the common stock.
idem Maximae respondit, si societatem uniuersarum fortunarum ita coierint, ut quidquid erogetur uel quaereretur communis lucri atque impendii esset, ea quoque, quae in honorem alterius liberorum erogata sunt, utrisque inputanda.
He also replied to Maxima that, if they entered into a partnership of all their fortunes on the terms that whatever should be expended or acquired should be for their common profit and expense, those things also which were expended for the honor of the children of one of them must be charged to both.

  2. §17.2.73.prcommunis lucri atque impendii esset — The genitive of property or possession (lucri atque impendii) is used here with esset (subjunctive imperfect of sum) to denote belonging to or being for their common profit and expense.
  3. §17.2.73.prinputanda — Part of the accusative-with-infinitive construction dependent on idem Maximae respondit, with esse omitted. The verb inputare in legal/bookkeeping contexts means to charge to or place to the account of someone.
