[ULPIANUS libro quadragesimo quarto ad Sabinum. ] §34.2.25.prArgumento sunt etiam nationes quaedam, ueluti Sarmatarum, quae pellibus teguntur.
[ULPIANUS, in his forty-fourth book on Sabinus.] Certain nations also, such as the Sarmatians, who are covered with skins, serve as proof.
§34.2.25.1Aristo etiam coactilia uesti cedere ait et tegimenta supselliorum huic legato cedere.
Aristo also says that felted articles fall under clothing, and that the covers of benches fall under this legacy.
§34.2.25.2Uittae margaritarum, item fibulae ornamentorum magis quam uestis sunt.
Pearl headbands, likewise brooches, belong to ornaments rather than to clothing.
§34.2.25.3Tapeta uesti cedunt, quae aut sterni aut inici solent: sed stragulas et babylonica, quae equis insterni solent, non puto uestis esse.
Tapestries, which are accustomed to be spread out or thrown over, fall under clothing; but covers and Babylonian blankets, which are accustomed to be spread on horses, I do not think are clothing.
§34.2.25.4Fasciae crurales pedulesque et inpilia uestis loco sunt, quia partem corporis uestiunt.
Leg-bandages, foot-bandages, and felt socks are in the place of clothing, because they clothe a part of the body.
alia causa est udonum, quia usum calciamentorum praestant.
The case of wool socks is different, because they serve the purpose of footwear.
§34.2.25.5Ceruicalia quoque uestis nomine continentur.
Pillows also are included under the term clothing.
§34.2.25.6Si quis addiderit 'uestem suam', apparet de ea eum sensisse, quam ipse in usus suos habuit.
If anyone has added "his clothing," it is clear that he meant that which he himself held for his own use.
§34.2.25.7Culcitae etiam uestis erunt.
Mattresses also will be clothing.
§34.2.25.8Item pelles caprinae et agninae uestis erunt.
Likewise, goatskins and lambskins will be clothing.
§34.2.25.9Muliebri ueste legata et infantilem contineri et puellarum et uirginum Pomponius libro uicesimo secundo ad Sabinum recte scribit: mulieres enim omnes dici, quaecumque sexus feminini sunt.
When "women's clothing" is bequeathed, Pomponius rightly writes in his twenty-second book on Sabinus that both infants' clothing and that of girls and young women is included; for all who are of the female sex are called women.
§34.2.25.10Ornamenta muliebria sunt, quibus mulier ornatur, ueluti inaures armillae uiriolae anuli praeter signatorios et omnia, quae ad aliam rem nullam parantur, nisi corporis ornandi causa: quo ex numero etiam haec sunt: aurum gemmae lapilli, quia aliam nullam in se utilitatem habent.
Women's ornaments are those with which a woman is adorned, such as earrings, bracelets, armlets, rings except signet rings, and all things which are prepared for no other purpose than for the sake of adorning the body; in which number also are these: gold, gems, and precious stones, because they have no other utility in themselves.
mundus mulieris est, quo mulier mundior fit: continentur eo specula matulae unguenta uasa unguentaria et si qua similia dici possunt, ueluti lauatio riscus.
A woman's toilet-ware consists of that by which a woman becomes neater; contained in it are mirrors, chamber pots, ointments, perfume vessels, and whatever similar things can be mentioned, such as bathing apparatus and a clothes chest.
ornamentorum haec: uittae mitrae semimitrae calautica acus cum margarita, quam mulieres habere solent, reticula crocyfantia.
Among ornaments are these: headbands, turbans, half-turbans, hoods, a pin with a pearl, which women are accustomed to have, hairnets, and saffron hairnets.
sicut et mulier potest esse munda, non tamen ornata, ut solet contingere in his, quae se emundauerint lotae in balneo neque se ornauerint: et contra est aliqua ex somno statim ornata, non tamen conmundata.
Just as a woman can be neat, yet not adorned, as is accustomed to happen in the case of those who have cleaned themselves after washing in a bath and have not adorned themselves; so on the contrary there is some woman who is immediately adorned upon waking from sleep, yet not thoroughly cleaned.
§34.2.25.11Margarita si non soluta sunt uel qui alii lapides (si quidem exemptiles sint), dicendum est ornamentorum loco haberi: sed et si in hoc sint resoluti ut componantur, ornamentorum loco sunt.
If pearls are not unstrung, or any other stones (provided indeed that they are removable), it must be said that they are held in the place of ornaments; but even if they are unstrung for the purpose of being reset, they are in the place of ornaments.
quod si adhuc sint rudes lapilli uel margaritae uel gemmae, ornamentorum loco non erunt, nisi alia mens fuit testantis, qui haec quoque, quae ad ornamenta parauerat, ornamentorum loco et appellatione comprehendi uoluit.
But if the precious stones or pearls or gems are still rough, they will not be in the place of ornaments, unless the intention of the testator was otherwise, who wished these also, which he had prepared for ornaments, to be included under the place and name of ornaments.
§34.2.25.12Unguenta, quibus ualetudinis causa unguimur, mundo non continentur.
Ointments with which we are anointed for the sake of health are not included under toilet-ware.
