Division of Provisions and Legatee Right to Taste Wine

Passage 5043 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Section 33.6.2.pr defines the ownership of provisions when they are bequeathed separately from wine, and Section 33.6.2.1 addresses the legatee's right to taste selected amphorae and the legal remedies to enforce it.

[POMPONIUS libro sexto ad Sabinum. ] §33.6.2.prCum alii penum, alii uinum legatum esset, excepto uino omne penum ad alium legatarium pertinebit. §33.6.2.1Si centum amphorae quas uelles tibi legatae sint, ex testamento agendo consequi potes, ut degustare tibi liceat: aut, quanti interfuerit licere tibi degustare, ad exhibendum agere potes.
[POMPONIUS libro sexto ad Sabinum.]\n\nWhen provisions have been bequeathed to one person and wine to another, all the provisions, with the exception of the wine, will belong to the other legatee.\n\nIf one hundred amphorae of your choice have been bequeathed to you, you can obtain, by bringing an action on the testament, that you are permitted to taste them; or you can bring an action for production for the amount of your interest in being permitted to taste them.

Notes

  1. §33.6.2.pralium legatarium — In the contrast between 'alii penum' and 'alii uinum', the 'other legatee' (alium legatarium) to whom all the provisions (except the wine) will belong refers to the first 'alii' to whom the provisions (penum) were bequeathed.
  2. §33.6.2.1quas uelles — Imperfect subjunctive (second person singular, used generally). It forms a relative clause expressing a potential or subjective condition, indicating that the legatee has the right to choose which specific amphorae they wish to receive.
  3. §33.6.2.1quanti interfuerit — Consists of the genitive of value/interest 'quanti' and the perfect subjunctive of the impersonal verb 'intersum' in an indirect question. The infinitive phrase 'licere tibi degustare' serves as the subject of 'interfuerit', representing the monetary value of the legatee's interest in being allowed to taste.
