Summary

This text rules that in the sale of land, security against eviction must be provided in accordance with the custom of the region where the transaction took place.

[GAIUS libro decimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §21.2.6.prSi fundus uenierit, ex consuetudine eius regionis in qua negotium gestum est pro euictione caueri oportet.
[GAIUS, on the Provincial Edict, book ten.] If land is sold, security against eviction must be given in accordance with the custom of the region in which the transaction was concluded.

Notes

  1. §21.2.6.pruenierit — The third-person singular future perfect (or perfect subjunctive) of ueneo ("to be sold"), which functions as the passive voice of uendo ("to sell").
  2. §21.2.6.prcaueri oportet — An impersonal construction combining the impersonal verb oportet ("it is necessary") with caueri, the present passive infinitive of caueo ("to give security"). It implies that security must be provided (by the seller).
