Inclusion of Garments Made of Skins in Legacies

Passage 5184 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

As Paulus' view, it is explained that garments made of skins are also included in the category of garments because some people possess tunics and coverlets made of skins.

[PAULUS libro undecimo ad Sabinum. ] §34.2.24.prcum et tunicas et stragula pellicia nonnulli habeant.
[PAULUS, in his eleventh book on Sabinus.] some people possess both tunics and coverlets made of skins.

Notes

  1. §34.2.24.prcum ... habeant — A cum clause expressing reason (taking the subjunctive habeant). This fragment is arranged by the compilers of the Digesta to serve as a direct ground for the statement in the preceding fragment (34.2.23.3), 'A garment will also consist of skins'.
  2. §34.2.24.prtunicas et stragula pellicia — The adjective pellicia (neuter plural accusative, agreeing with stragula) semantically modifies both nouns, tunicas (feminine plural accusative) and stragula (neuter plural accusative), meaning 'tunics made of skins and coverlets made of skins'.
