Stipulation Required from Curators for Specific Matters

Passage 7806 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It rules that even if a curator is appointed only for specific objects or tasks, a stipulation for the safety of the property must still be entered into.

[ULPIANUS libro secundo ad edictum. ] §46.6.8.prEt si ad species curator datus sit, rem saluam fore stipulatio interponetur.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book II] And if a curator has been appointed for specific objects, a stipulation that the property will be safe shall be interposed.

Notes

  1. §46.6.8.prad species — "for specific objects". This refers to a curator appointed to manage only specific assets (species) or limited specific affairs, in contrast to a general curator who administers the entire estate.
  2. §46.6.8.prrem saluam fore — "that the property will be safe". `fore` is an alternative form of the future infinitive `futurum esse`. The entire phrase forms an accusative with infinitive construction (subject: `rem`, predicate: `saluam fore`), specifying the content of the stipulation (`stipulatio`) to be entered into.
