[POMPONIUS libro sexto ad Sabinum. ] §34.2.21.prIn argento potorio utrum id dumtaxat sit, in quo bibi possit, an etiam id, quod ad praeparationem bibendi comparatum est, ueluti colum niuarium et urceoli, dubitari potest.
[POMPONIUS, in his sixth book on Sabinus.] Regarding silver for drinking, it can be doubted whether it means only that in which one can drink, or also that which has been prepared for the preparation of drinking, such as a snow-strainer and small pitchers.
sed propius est, ut haec quoque insint.
But it is more correct to hold that these also are included.
§34.2.21.1Unguentis legatis non tantum ea legata uidentur, quibus unguimur uoluptatis causa, sed et ualetudinis, qualia sunt commagena glaucina crina rosa muracolum nardum purum: hoc quidem etiam quo elegantiores sint et mundiores, unguuntur feminae.
When perfumes are bequeathed, not only those with which we are anointed for the sake of pleasure seem to be bequeathed, but also those for the sake of health, such as Commagene oil, celandine oil, lily oil, rose oil, myracolum, and pure nard: indeed, women are anointed with these also in order to be more elegant and cleaner.
§34.2.21.2Sed de aquiminario Cassius ait consultum se respondisse, cum alteri argentum potorium, alteri escarium legatum esset, escario cedere.
But regarding the water-basin, Cassius says that, when silver for drinking was bequeathed to one person and silver for eating to another, he replied to a consultation that it belonged to the silver for eating.
