Inclusion of the Furnace-Tender in Bequests of Bath Equipment
Summary
It clarifies that the furnace-tender who manages the heating of the baths is also included in the bequest of bath equipment.
Notes
- §33.7.14.prfornicator — While this word means "fornicator" in later Christian Latin, here in classical juristic Latin it is used in the sense of a "keeper of the vaulted furnace (fornix)" and refers to the "furnace-tender" or "stoker" (furnacator) who heats the baths, continuing the context of bath equipment from the previous section.
