Summary

Ulpian presents Labeo's opinion that a slave manumitted under a condition who embezzled property should be sued under this action if the condition is quickly fulfilled.

[ULPIANUS libro tertio decimo ad edictum. ] §47.4.3.prLabeo putauit sub condicione manumissum res amouentem, si cito condicio extitit, hac actione conueniendum.
[ULPIANUS on the Edict, book 13] Labeo thought that a person manumitted under a condition who embezzled property, if the condition was quickly fulfilled, should be sued by this action.

Notes

  1. §47.4.3.prconueniendum — The future passive participle (gerundive) of the transitive verb `conuenire` (to sue, bring an action against) in the masculine accusative singular. It agrees with the accusative subject of the infinitive clause, `manumissum` (with `esse` omitted), meaning 'that he ought to be sued.'
