Inclusion of Actions in the Terms My Things and Yours

Passage 8905 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus explains that the terms 'my things' and 'your things' encompass not only physical property but also actions (legal claims).

[PAULUS libro secundo fideicommissorum. ] §50.16.91.pr'Meorum' et 'tuorum' appellatione actiones quoque contineri dicendum est.
[PAULUS, On Trusts, book 2.] It must be said that under the designation of 'my things' and 'your things', actions also are included.

Notes

  1. §50.16.91.prdicendum est — An impersonal construction consisting of the gerundive dicendum and est, expressing necessity ('it must be said'). It takes the accusative and infinitive clause actiones quoque contineri ('that actions also are included') as its subject.
  2. §50.16.91.prappellatione — Ablative singular of appellatio ('designation', 'name'). Accompanied by the genitive phrases 'Meorum' et 'tuorum' ('of my things' and 'of your things'), it functions as an ablative of means or specification ('by/under the designation of'), modifying contineri.
