[ULPIAN, in the fifth book on the Edict.] Marcellus notes in his work on Julian that both what has been torn and broken and what has been taken by force are contained in the word 'to have perished'.

Notes

  1. §50.16.9.prapud Iulianum — Meaning 'in the works of Julian' or 'in his notes on Julian'. The preposition `apud` used with an author's name indicates their writings or opinions.
  2. §50.16.9.prscissum et fractum ... et ui raptum — These are all neuter perfect participles used substantively, serving as the subject accusative of the passive present infinitive `contineri`.
