Summary

It stipulates that if the income from the land includes honey, beehives and bees are also included in the equipment of the land.

[ULPIANUS libro uicesimo ad Sabinum. ] §33.7.10.prSi reditus etiam ex melle constat, aluei apesque continentur.
[ULPIANUS on Sabinus, Book XX.] If the income also consists of honey, beehives and bees are included.

Notes

  1. §33.7.10.prconstat — The verb `constare` takes the preposition `ex` with the ablative (`melle` in this case) to mean "to consist of" or "to be composed of". The subject is `reditus` (income/revenue).
  2. §33.7.10.prcontinentur — Third-person plural passive of `continere` (to contain, include). In this legal context, it means that they are included in the "equipment of the land" (instrumentum fundi) and thus form part of the legacy.
