Prohibition of Separating Slave Relatives and the Edict on Wild Beasts

Passage 3056 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Following up on the prohibition of separating slave relatives, it states that they must not be separated, and then begins to quote the aediles' edict concerning the restriction on keeping wild animals.

[ULPIANUS libro secundo ad edictum aedilium curulium. ] §21.1.40.prhi enim non erunt separandi.
[ULPIANUS in the second book on the Edict of the Curule Aediles.] for these are not to be separated.
§21.1.40.1Deinde aiunt aediles: 'ne quis canem, uerrem uel minorem aprum, lupum, ursum, pantheram, leonem',
Then the aediles say: 'that no one [shall keep] a dog, a boar, or a smaller wild boar, a wolf, a bear, a panther, a lion,'

Notes

  1. §21.1.40.prnon erunt separandi — A passive periphrastic conjugation consisting of the gerundive `separandi` and the future third-person plural of `sum` (`erunt`), expressing a future obligation or necessity.
  2. §21.1.40.1ne quis — Part of a conjunction phrase introducing a prohibitive edict (ne quis + subjunctive, "lest anyone / that no one"). In this chunk, the text is cut off in the middle of a list of accusative nouns, and the governing verb (such as `habeat`) appears in the subsequent chunk.
