Cum emptor dixit tanti sunt mi emptae? Et ille respondit sunt et expromisit nummos, emptor stipulatur prisca formula sic, illasce oves, qua de re agitur, sanas recte esse, uti pecus ovillum, quod recte sanum est extra luscam surdam minam, id est ventre glabro, neque de pecore morboso esse habereque recte licere, haec sic recte fieri spondesne? Cum id factum est, tamen grex dominum non mutavit, nisi si est adnumeratum; nec non emptor pote ex empto vendito illum damnare, si non tradet, quamvis non solverit nummos, ut ille emptorem simili iudicio, si non reddit pretium.
when the purchaser has said, They are sold at such a price? and the seller has replied, Yes, and the money has passed, the purchaser, using the old formula, says: You guarantee that the sheep in question are perfectly sound, up to the standard of a flock which is perfectly sound, excepting those blind of one eye, deaf, or minae (that is, with belly bare of wool), that they do not come from a diseased flock, and that title may legally pass'that all this may be properly done? Even after this has been agreed on, the flock does not change owners unless the money has been counted; and the purchaser still has the right to obtain a judgment against the vendor under the law of purchase and sale if he does not make delivery, even though no money has passed; just as the vendor may obtain a judgment against the purchaser under the same law if he does not make payment.
