Fish in a Pond and Animals Not Belonging to Estate

Passage 2782 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Pomponius states that fish in a fishpond do not belong to the estate, just as chickens or other animals on the estate do not.

[POMPONIUS libro trigesimo primo ad Quintum Mucium. ] §19.1.16.prnon magis quam pulli aut cetera animalia, quae in fundo sunt.
[POMPONIUS libro trigesimo primo ad Quintum Mucium.] no more than chickens or other animals which are on the estate.

Notes

  1. §19.1.16.prnon magis quam — Continuing the negative statement "non sunt aedium nec fundi" (belong neither to the building nor to the estate) at the end of the previous fragment (D. 19.1.15.pr), this comparative structure means "just as chickens or other animals on the estate do not [belong to the estate], so too [fish in a fishpond do not belong to the building or the estate]."
