Specification of Things and the Number of Stipulations

Passage 7433 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian explains that as many stipulations as there are things are established only when those things are explicitly mentioned in the stipulation; otherwise, there is only one stipulation.

[ULPIANUS libro septuagensimo nono ad edictum. ] §45.1.86.prQuod dicitur tot stipulationes esse quot res, ibi locum habet, ubi res exprimuntur stipulatione: ceterum si non fuerint expressae, una est stipulatio.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book 79]\n\nWhat is said, that there are as many stipulations as there are things, has place there, where the things are expressly mentioned in the stipulation; but if they are not expressly mentioned, there is but one stipulation.

Notes

  1. §45.1.86.prQuod dicitur tot stipulationes esse quot res — The noun clause introduced by the relative pronoun quod functions as the subject, followed by an accusative and infinitive construction (stipulationes esse) after dicitur, which incorporates the correlative tot ... quot ....
  2. §45.1.86.prnon fuerint expressae — The verb fuerint expressae is in the future perfect passive (third-person plural). The omitted subject is res (feminine plural) from the preceding clause, representing a condition that must be fulfilled prior to the action of the main clause.
