It states that the same legal principle applies to birds reared on maritime islands as to the honey and bees in the preceding section.
Notes
- §33.7.11.preadem ratio est in — The preposition in with the ablative here means "with regard to" or "in the case of." The noun ratio does not merely mean "reason," but refers to the legal "rule," "principle," or "standard" of determination regarding what constitutes instrumentum, extending the principle of the previous section (concerning bees) to birds reared on islands.
