Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §4.3.4.pr

Remedies Against Third Parties and Inapplicability

Passage 665 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus explains that the edict on fraud does not apply if there is an action against another person, or if the property can be preserved through another.

[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum. ] §4.3.4.prsit actio uel si ab alio res mihi seruari potest.
[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum.] there is an action, or if the property can be preserved for me by another.

Notes

  1. §4.3.4.prsit actio — The subjunctive present sit continues the conditional conjunction si at the end of the preceding fragment (D. 4.3.3.pr), forming a conditional clause.
  2. §4.3.4.prres mihi seruari — mihi is a dative of advantage, which, combined with the passive infinitive seruari, expresses that the property is preserved for the benefit of the speaker.
