Definition of Old Wine as Including Prior Year Wine

Passage 5052 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Defines "old wine" in the absence of the testator's specific practice as anything that is not new, which includes the wine of the preceding year.

[ULPIANUS libro uicesimo tertio ad Sabinum. ] §33.6.11.pruetus accipietur, quod non est nouum: id est et anni prioris uinum appellatione ueteris continebitur:
[ULPIAN, On Sabinus, Book 23] "Old" will be understood as that which is not new; that is, even the wine of the preceding year will be included under the designation of "old."

Notes

  1. §33.6.11.pruetus accipietur — The neuter singular adjective "uetus" (used substantively) serves as the subject of the passive verb "accipietur". In legal Latin, "accipere" frequently carries the meaning of "to interpret" or "to understand" in a specific sense.
  2. §33.6.11.prappellatione ueteris — "ueteris" is the genitive neuter singular of the adjective "uetus", functioning as a genitive of definition (or appositional genitive) modifying "appellatione" ("by/under the designation of 'old'").
