[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo quinto ad Sabinum. ] §50.16.167.pr'Carbonum' appellatione materiam non contineri: sed an 'lignorum'? et fortassis quis dicet nec lignorum: non enim lignorum gratia habuit.
[ULPIANUS, in the twenty-fifth book on Sabinus.] By the term 'charcoal', timber is not included; but is it included under the term 'firewood'? And perhaps someone will say, not even under firewood; for he did not hold it for the sake of firewood.
sed et titiones et alia ligna cocta ne fumum faciant utrum ligno an carboni an suo generi adnumerabimus? et magis est, ut proprium genus habeatur.
But as for firebrands and other wood prepared so as not to make smoke, shall we reckon them as firewood, or as charcoal, or as a class of their own? And it is more reasonable that they be regarded as a class of their own.
sulpurata quoque de ligno aeque eandem habebunt definitionem.
Matches made of wood will also equally have the same definition.
ad faces quoque parata non erunt lignorum appellatione comprehensa, nisi haec fuit uoluntas.
Things prepared for torches will also not be included under the term 'firewood', unless such was the intention.
idem et de nucleis oliuarum, sed et de balanis est, uel si qui alii nuclei.
The same is true also of olive-stones, and of acorns, or any other kernels.
de pinu autem integri strobili ligni appellatione continebuntur.
But in the case of the pine, whole pine-cones will be included under the term 'firewood'.
