[PAULUS libro trigensimo tertio ad edictum. ] §18.4.9.pret si quid emptoris interest.
[PAULUS, On the Edict, book 33.] and also if there is any interest of the buyer.
Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §18.4.9.pr
Buyer Recovery of Interest When No Inheritance Exists
Summary
Paulus supplements the previous section by stating that if no inheritance exists, the buyer can recover not only the price and expenses but also any interest they may have in the transaction.
Notes
- §18.4.9.pret si quid emptoris interest — The impersonal verb interest (it concerns, is of interest/importance) takes a genitive, which here is emptoris. This brief fragment functions as a supplement to the verb consequatur (should recover) at the end of the preceding fragment by Javolenus (§18.4.8.pr), meaning "and also [the buyer should recover] whatever interest the buyer has [in the matter]" (referring to the buyer's interest or damages).
