Inclusion of Everyone Under the Term Others

Passage 8974 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian explains that the terms 'others' and 'remaining' can include everyone, citing Marcellus's opinion on a case involving the bequest of a choice of a slave.

[IDEM libro secundo ad Sabinum. ] §50.16.160.pr'Ceterorum' et 'reliquorum' appellatione etiam omnes continentur, ut Marcellus dixit circa eum, cui optio serui legata est, ceteri Sempronio: nam temptat, si non optet, omnes ad Sempronium pertinere.
[THE SAME, in the second book on Sabinus.] Under the designation of 'the others' and 'the remaining' even all are included, as Marcellus said concerning the case of one to whom the choice of a slave was bequeathed, and the others to Sempronius: for he argues that, if he does not make a choice, all belong to Sempronius.

Notes

  1. §50.16.160.prceteri Sempronio — In this phrase, the verb `legati sunt` (are bequeathed) is omitted but implied, continuing the construction from `optio serui legata est`.
  2. §50.16.160.prtemptat — The subject of the verb `temptat` is Marcellus, used here in the sense of 'to argue', 'to maintain', or 'to put forward a view', taking the accusative and infinitive clause `omnes... pertinere` as its object.
