Passage 3186 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Presents the opinion of Minicius that hunting is generally not considered a fruit of the land, unless the primary yield of the estate consists of hunting.

[IDEM libro sexto ex Minicio. ] §22.1.26.prUenationem fructus fundi negauit esse, nisi fructus fundi ex uenatione constet.
[THE SAME, from his sixth book on Minicius.] He denied that hunting is a fruit of the land, unless the fruit of the land consists of hunting.

Notes

  1. §22.1.26.prfructus — The first occurrence of fructus is understood as an accusative plural serving as the predicate in the accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction (meaning 'fruits' or 'yield'). In contrast, the second occurrence is a nominative singular acting as the subject of the singular verb constet.
  2. §22.1.26.prnegauit — Although the subject is not explicitly stated, it refers to the jurist Minicius, as indicated by the fragment's rubric ex Minicio (from Minicius).
