Indiscriminate Use of Terms in Letting and Hiring

Passage 2786 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It points out that the same indiscriminate use of terms found in purchase and sale also occurred in the context of letting and hiring.

[IDEM libro uicesimo primo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §19.1.20.prIdem est et in locatione et conductione.
[THE SAME, Provincial Edict, Book XXI.] The same is also the case in letting and hiring.

Notes

  1. §19.1.20.prIdem est — The neuter singular pronoun "idem" functioning as the subject refers to the fact mentioned in the previous fragment (19.1.19.pr) that the ancients used the terms for purchase and sale (emptio uenditio) indiscriminately.
  2. §19.1.20.pret in locatione et conductione — The first "et" functions as an adverb meaning "also", while the second "et" is a conjunction ("and") linking "locatione" and "conductione". The preposition "in" governs both nouns, which together represent the single legal category of letting and hiring (locatio et conductio).
