Notes

  1. §20.1.7.prSeruiana — The feminine noun `actio` (action) is omitted, referring to the `actio Serviana` (Servian action). This is an action in rem by which a pledgee claims possession of the pledged property from the debtor or any third party.
  2. §20.1.7.prcompetit — Used as a legal technical term meaning that an action or remedy "lies," "is available," or "is admissible."
  3. §20.1.7.pruel quae — The governing force of the preposition `de` (concerning) at the end of the preceding fragment of Ulpianus (D. 20.1.6.pr) extends to the `quae...` clause of this fragment of Paulus, due to the compilers' concatenation.
