Validity of Agreements Made by a Slave Lending Master's Money

Passage 395 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian presents Celsus' view on the validity of an agreement made at the time of lending, when a slave lends his master's money.

[ULPIANUS libro quarto ad edictum. ] §2.14.29.prSin autem dominicam pecuniam crediderit, quod credendi tempore pactus est ualere Celsus ait.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, book 4] But if he has lent his master's money, Celsus says that what he agreed upon at the time of lending is valid.

Notes

  1. §2.14.29.prcrediderit — The third-person singular subjunctive perfect (or future perfect) verb. Although the subject is not explicitly stated, it refers to the 'slave' (seruus) or 'son' (filius familias) from the context of the preceding fragment (D. 2.14.28.2), especially indicated here by the phrase dominicam pecuniam (the master's money).
  2. §2.14.29.prquod ... pactus est ualere — Accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction governed by Celsus ait ('Celsus says'). The entire clause introduced by the relative pronoun quod (with the antecedent implied: 'what he agreed upon') functions as the subject accusative of the infinitive ualere ('to be valid').
