[PAULUS libro primo ad edictum aedilium curulium. ] §21.1.39.pruel fratres:
[PAULUS in the first book on the Edict of the Curule Aediles.] or brothers:
Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §21.1.39.pr
Brothers as Inseparable Slaves in Collective Sales
Summary
Paulus adds brothers to the examples of slaves who are sold together and cannot be separated, following the tragedians and mime actors mentioned in the previous section.
Notes
- 21.1.39.pruel fratres — This is an additional example provided by Paulus, continuing from Ulpian's list of inseparable slaves (tragedians and mime actors) in the preceding fragment (D. 21.1.38.14). The noun 'fratres' can be understood as standing in apposition to the implicit accusatives (tragoedos uel mimos) or as the subject of an omitted conditional clause (such as 'si fratres sint').
