[ULPIANUS libro uicesimo secundo ad Sabinum. ] §32.0.70.prSi cui lana legetur, id legatum uidetur quod tinctum non est, sed αγτοφγές:
[ULPIAN, from his twenty-second book on Sabinus.] If wool is bequeathed to anyone, that which is not dyed but natural (αγτοφγές) is deemed to be bequeathed.
§32.0.70.1Siue autem facta est siue infecta, lanae appellatione continetur.
And whether it is worked or unworked, it is contained under the designation of wool.
§32.0.70.2Quaesitum est, utrum lanae appellatione ea sola contineatur quae neta non est an et ea quae neta est, ut puta stamen et subtemen: et Sabinus et netam contineri putat, cuius sententia utimur.
The question was raised whether only that which is not spun is contained under the designation of wool, or also that which is spun, such as warp and woof; and Sabinus thinks that even spun wool is contained, whose opinion we follow.
§32.0.70.3Lanae appellationem eatenus extendi placet, quoad ad telam peruenisset.
It is accepted that the designation of wool is extended up to the point where it has reached the loom.
§32.0.70.4Et sciendum sucidam quoque contineri et lotam, si modo tincta non sit.
And it should be known that greasy wool and washed wool are also contained, provided only that they are not dyed.
§32.0.70.5Lanae appellatione tomentum non continebitur.
Under the designation of wool, stuffing will not be contained.
§32.0.70.6Sed nec ea lana, ex qua quis quasi uestimentum fecerit ualetudinis uel deliciarum gratia, continebitur.
Nor indeed will that wool be contained from which someone has made something like a garment for the sake of health or luxury.
§32.0.70.7Ne ea quidem, quae fomentationis gratia parata sunt uel medicinae, lanarum appellatione continentur.
Not even those which are prepared for the purpose of poultice or medicine are contained under the designation of wool.
§32.0.70.8Sed et pelles lanatae contineantur? et hoc lanae cedere manifestum est.
But are fleecy skins also contained? It is manifest that this also goes with the wool.
§32.0.70.9Lana legata etiam leporinam lanam et anserinam et caprinam credo contineri et de ligno, quam ἐριόξγλου appellant.
When wool is bequeathed, I believe that rabbit's wool, goose down, goat's hair, and that from trees which they call ἐριόξγλου are also contained.
§32.0.70.10Linum autem lana legata utique non continebitur.
However, flax will certainly not be contained when wool is bequeathed.
§32.0.70.11Lino autem legato tam factum quam infectum continetur quodque netum quodque in tela est, quod est nondum detextum.
But when flax is bequeathed, both worked and unworked are contained, and what is spun, and what is on the loom, which is not yet woven.
ergo aliud in lino quam in lana est.
Therefore, it is otherwise in the case of flax than in the case of wool.
et quidem si tinctura linum sit, credo lino continebitur.
And indeed, even if the flax is dyed, I believe it will be contained under flax.
§32.0.70.12Uersicoloribus uidendum est.
We must consider multi-colored items.
et constabat apud ueteres lanae appellatione uersicoloria non contineri, sed ea omnia uideri legata, quae tincta sunt, et neta, quae neque detexta neque contexta sunt.
And it was established among the ancient jurists that multi-colored items are not contained under the designation of wool, but all those things are deemed to be bequeathed which are dyed, and spun, but which are neither woven nor put together.
proinde quaeritur, an purpura appellatione uersicolorum contineatur.
Accordingly, the question is raised whether purple is contained under the designation of multi-colored items.
et ego arbitror ea, quae tincta non sunt, uersicoloribus non adnumerari et ideo neque album neque naturaliter nigrum contineri nec alterius coloris naturalis: purpuram autem et coccum, quoniam nihil natiui coloris sunt, contineri arbitror, nisi, aliud sensit testator.
And I think that those things which are not dyed are not counted among multi-colored items, and therefore neither white, nor naturally black, nor of any other natural color is contained; but I think that purple and scarlet, since they have nothing of a natural color, are contained, unless the testator intended otherwise.
§32.0.70.13Purpurae autem appellatione omnis generis purpuram contineri puto: sed coccum non continebitur, fucinum et ianthinum continebitur.
But I think that under the designation of purple, purple of every kind is contained; but scarlet will not be contained, though fucus-dyed and violet-dyed will be contained.
purpurae appellatione etiam subtemen factum contineri nemo dubitat: lana tinguendae purpurae causa destinata non continebitur.
No one doubts that under the designation of purple, even worked woof is contained; but wool intended for the purpose of being dyed purple will not be contained.
