Passage 6690 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Addresses a query regarding a movable wooden granary placed by Titius on Seius's land, determining that the ownership of the granary does not pass to the landowner Seius.

[SCAEUOLA libro primo responsorum. ] §41.1.60.prTitius horreum frumentarium nouum ex tabulis ligneis factum mobile in Seii praedio posuit: quaeritur, uter horrei dominus sit.
[SCAEVOLA, from the first book of Responses.] Titius placed a new, movable grain storehouse made of wooden planks on the estate of Seius; it is asked which of the two is the owner of the storehouse.
respondit secundum quae proponerentur non esse factum Seii.
He answered that, according to the facts proposed, it had not become Seius's.

Notes

  1. §41.1.60.prnon esse factum Seii — factum is the perfect participle (neuter singular accusative) of fio ("to become"), forming an accusative-with-infinitive construction in the perfect tense with horreum as its implied subject. Seii is a possessive genitive; fieri with a genitive means "to become the property of." Thus, it is interpreted as "that [the storehouse] had not become the property of Seius."
