Loss of the Right to Select the Slave Stichus

Passage 5244 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This fragment defines the specific effect of the "diminution of the legacy" mentioned in the preceding fragment, which is that the legatee cannot select the slave Stichus.

[ULPIANUS libro quinquagesimo ad Sabinum. ] §34.4.12.prut Stichum legatarius eligere non possit.
[ULPIANUS in the fiftieth book on Sabinus.] so that the legatee cannot choose Stichus.

Notes

  1. §34.4.12.prut ... possit — This is a consecutive clause (or a clause of purpose/limitation) grammatically dependent on the verb extenuat at the end of the preceding fragment (D. 34.4.11.pr). In the compilation of the Digest, separate fragments originally taken from different jurists (Pomponius and Ulpian) are connected to form a single continuous sentence.
