Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §20.2.3.pr

Tacit Pledges on Invecta in Leases of Warehouses and Plots

Passage 2951 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpianus cites the correct opinion of Neratius that the tacit agreement regarding pledges on brought-in goods applies also to the lease of warehouses, inns, or vacant plots.

[ULPIANUS libro septuagesimo tertio ad edictum. ] §20.2.3.prSi horreum fuit conductum uel deuorsorium uel area, tacitam conuentionem de inuectis illatis etiam in his locum habere putat Neratius: quod uerius est.
[ULPIANUS, in his seventy-third book on the Edict.] If a warehouse, an inn, or a vacant plot of land was leased, Neratius thinks that the tacit agreement concerning the goods brought in and carried in also has place in these cases; which is more correct.

Notes

  1. §20.2.3.prtacitam conuentionem de inuectis illatis etiam in his locum habere — An accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction serving as the object of the verb putat. The subject accusative is tacitam conuentionem, and the infinitive is locum habere. The phrase de inuectis illatis (concerning the goods brought in and carried in) modifies conuentionem, while etiam in his (also in these [warehouses, inns, plots]) is an adverbial phrase modifying the infinitive clause.
  2. §20.2.3.prquod uerius est — The relative pronoun quod refers back to the entire preceding statement (Neratius' opinion). The comparative uerius (more correct) is a standard expression used by jurists to evaluate legal opinions, indicating that this view is closer to the truth or correctness than alternative arguments.
