Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §6.2.4.pr

Delivery for Payment and the Publician Action

Passage 1155 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Delivery for the purpose of discharge (payment) is presented as another just cause that justifies the Publician action.

[PAULUS libro nono decimo ad edictum. ] §6.2.4.pruel soluendi causa
[PAULUS on the Edict, book 19.] or for the purpose of discharge.

Notes

  1. 6.2.4.pruel soluendi causa — A construction where the gerund soluendi (genitive of solvere, 'to discharge, pay') modifies the ablative causa ('for the sake of, on the basis of'). The compilers of the Digest connected this fragment directly to the preceding passage of Ulpian (D. 6.2.3.1, concerning delivery based on a judgment) to provide an additional example of a 'just cause' (iusta causa) for the Publician action.
