Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §22.1.40.pr

Sale of Pledges and Computation of Interest

Passage 3200 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It states the legal rule that when a creditor sells pledges, the computation of interest up to the day of sale is rightly made.

[IDEM libro quarto regularum. ] §22.1.40.prIn eum diem, quo creditor pignora distraxit, recte usurae fiet reputatio.
[THE SAME, in the fourth book of Rules.] Up to that day on which the creditor sold the pledges, the computation of interest will rightly be made.

Notes

  1. §22.1.40.prIn eum diem — The preposition in with the accusative indicates a limit or terminal point ('up to' or 'until'). The relative clause quo creditor pignora distraxit modifies diem, meaning 'up to that day on which the creditor sold the pledges'.
  2. §22.1.40.prusurae — Genitive singular of the noun usura (interest). Although morphologically it could be nominative plural, the singular subject reputatio and the context make it natural to interpret it as an objective genitive dependent on reputatio ('reckoning of interest').
