Termination of Precarium on a Pledge by Repayment

Passage 7161 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It discusses how, if a debtor holds a pledged thing by precarium, the precarium is terminated upon the payment of the debt.

[CELSUS libro septimo digestorum. ] §43.26.11.prSi debitor rem pigneratam precario rogauerit, soluta pecunia precarium soluitur: quippe id actum est, ut usque eo precarium teneret.
[CELSUS, Digest, book seven.] If a debtor has requested a pledged thing by precarium, the precarium is dissolved when the money is paid; for indeed this was agreed, that he should hold it by precarium up to that point.

Notes

  1. §43.26.11.prsoluta pecunia — Ablative absolute. It indicates a temporal or conditional circumstance ('when the money is paid' or 'by the payment of the money').
  2. §43.26.11.prut usque eo precarium teneret — The ut clause is a noun clause in apposition to the demonstrative pronoun id in 'id actum est'. The implied subject of the imperfect subjunctive teneret is the debtor (debitor) from the preceding clause, with the pledged thing (rem) understood as its object, or precarium functioning as the object.
