D. 12.1.9.9: Ulpian, Edict, book 26
I made a deposit with you of ten. Later I allowed you
to use them. Nerva and Proculus hold that even
before they are moved a condictio lies for them as
upon a loan for consumption and that is correct, as
Marcellus also finds, because the possession was
initiated by will (animo). Hence risk passes to him
who sought the loan for consumption, and the
condictio lies against him.

D. 50.16.19 Ulpianus libro 11 ad Ed.: Labeo libro primo praetoris urbani
definit, quod quaedam agantur, quaedam gerantur, quaedam contrahantur:
et actum quidem generale verbum esse sive verbis, sive re quid agatur ut in
stipulatione vel numeratione: contractum autem ultrocitroque obligatione,
quod Graeci συνάλλαγµα vocant, veluti emptionem venditionem,
locationem conductionem, societatem: gestum rem significare sine verbis
factam.
Labeo in the first book on the edict of urban praetor defines that
some things are acted, other carried out, other contracted. And
indeed ‘acted’ is a general word whether something is acted by
words or things, like in stipulation or computation. ‘Contracted’
denotes bilateral obligation which the Greeks call synallagma, as for
instance, sale or purchase, hire or partnership. ‘Carried out’ means a
thing done without words.
