Duty to Deliver Promised Accessories in Sound Condition

Passage 2793 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It explains, using the example of jars going with a tract of land, that whatever the seller promises to deliver as an accessory must be transferred in a whole and sound condition.

[PAULUS libro tertio epitomarum Alfeni. ] §19.1.27.prQuidquid uenditor accessurum dixerit, id integrum ac sanum tradi oportet: ueluti si fundo dolia accessura dixisset, non quassa, sed integra dare debet.
[PAULUS, Epitome of Alfenus, Book III.] Whatever the seller has said would go with the property, it must be delivered whole and sound; for example, if he had said that jars would go with the land, he must deliver them not cracked, but whole.

Notes

  1. §19.1.27.praccessurum — The future infinitive 'accessurum esse' with the omission of 'esse', forming an accusative-and-infinitive construction as the object of 'dixerit'. The subject is the relative pronoun 'quidquid', meaning 'whatever [the seller] said would go with [the property]'.
  2. §19.1.27.prfundo — Dative case governed by the verb accedo (here the future participle 'accessura [esse]'), meaning 'to the land' (would go with the land).
