Inclusion of Exchange and Set-Off in Payment

Passage 6584 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paul explains that the scope of what is considered "given" in connection with a purchase includes exchange and set-off as well.

[PAULUS libro quinquagensimo primo ad edictum. ] §40.12.19.pruel permutauit uel compensauit eo nomine (nam et is dedisse intellegendus est)
[PAUL on the Edict, book fifty-one.] or exchanged, or offset under that head (for he too must be understood to have given).

Notes

  1. §40.12.19.preo nomine — Meaning "under that head" or "on that account". It is an ablative of respect/cause, referring back to the purchase (propter emptionem) or the transaction mentioned in the preceding fragment.
  2. §40.12.19.pris dedisse intellegendus est — A gerundive construction of obligation/necessity (intellegendus est) combined with a nominative with infinitive (is ... dedisse). It means "he (the one who exchanged or offset) too must be understood to have given [the price]".
