Place of Performance for Annual Legacies

Passage 4928 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that when an annual bequest does not specify a place of performance, it must be delivered wherever it is demanded, similar to claims arising from a stipulation or an entry of debt.

[POMPONIUS libro quinto ad Sabinum. ] §33.1.1.prCum in annos singulos quid legatum sit neque adscriptum, quo loco detur: quocumque loco petetur dari debet, sicuti ex stipulatu aut nomine facto petatur.
[POMPONIUS, book five on Sabinus.] When something has been bequeathed for individual years and it has not been written down in what place it is to be given, it must be given in whatever place it is demanded, just as if it were demanded on the basis of a stipulation or an entry of debt.

Notes

  1. §33.1.1.prquo loco detur — An indirect question serving as the subject or content of the preceding verbal phrase adscriptum [sit] (is written down). The verb detur is in the present subjunctive passive due to the indirect question.
  2. §33.1.1.prnomine facto — Refers to an abstract and strict obligation under Roman law (litteris obligatio) established through an entry in an account book (nomen transscripticium).
  3. §33.1.1.prpetetur — Third-person singular future indicative passive of peto. Together with quocumque, it expresses a generalized future condition.
