Stipulation to Pay Before a Specified Kalends

Passage 7359 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian explains that a stipulation made 'before the next Kalends' is treated similarly to one made 'on the Kalends'.

[ULPIANUS libro nono decimo ad Sabinum. ] §45.1.13.prQui 'ante kalendas proximas' stipuletur, similis est ei, qui 'kalendis' stipulatur.
[ULPIAN, in the nineteenth book on Sabinus.] He who stipulates 'before the next Kalends' is similar to him who stipulates 'on the Kalends'.

Notes

  1. §45.1.13.prstipuletur — The present subjunctive is used in the relative clause introduced by Qui to denote a hypothetical class of persons ("whoever might stipulate"), whereas the relative clause modifying ei uses the present indicative stipulatur to state a general fact.
  2. §45.1.13.prsimilis est ei — The adjective similis (similar to) takes either the genitive or the dative case for its object. Here, ei (dative masculine singular of the demonstrative pronoun is) is used.
