Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §4.3.10.pr

Monetary Limit of a Small Sum Barring the Action for Fraud

Passage 671 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paul defines the "small sum" mentioned by Ulpian in the previous section as being up to two aurei, below which an action for fraud should not be granted.

[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum. ] §4.3.10.prid est usque ad duos aureos,
[PAUL, book eleven on the Edict.] that is, up to two aurei,

Notes

  1. §4.3.10.prusque ad duos aureos — This is an explanatory phrase defining the scope of the "small sum" (modica summa) in the previous section (D. 4.3.9.5). It qualifies the conditional clause "si modica summa sit" of the previous section and leads to the main verb "non debet dari" in the following section (D. 4.3.10.1). "usque ad" indicates the upper limit, meaning two aurei or less.
