Definition and Exclusions of Household Furniture

Passage 5123 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Pomponius defines household furniture as the domestic equipment of a father of a family, excluding fashioned silver, gold, and clothing.

[POMPONIUS libro sexto ad Sabinum. ] §33.10.1.prSupellex est domesticum patris familiae instrumentum, quod neque argento auroue facto uel uesti adnumeretur,
[POMPONIUS in the sixth book on Sabinus.] Household furniture is the domestic equipment of a father of a family, which is not classed either under fashioned silver or gold, or under clothing.

Notes

  1. §33.10.1.pradnumeretur — Subjunctive present. Used in a relative clause introduced by the relative pronoun `quod` (referring to `instrumentum`) to express a characteristic or definition ('such as is not to be classed...'), rather than a mere statement of fact.
  2. §33.10.1.prargento auroue facto — Both nouns are in the dative case governed by `adnumeretur`. The dative neuter singular adjective `facto` ('fashioned' or 'wrought') modifies both `argento` and `auroue` (`auro` with the enclitic conjunction `-ue` 'or').
