Notes
- §21.1.50.prUaricosus — The adjective uaricosus (having varicose veins) is used substantively to refer to a slave who is the object of a sale. This serves as a concrete example of a bodily defect that prevents a slave from being considered "sound" (sanus) under the aedilician edict.
- §21.1.50.prsanus — Meaning "healthy" or "sound". In the context of the aedilician liability for defects in the sale of slaves, this is a legal concept denoting a standard bodily and mental condition free from significant defects.
