Note 172 — THE ORIGIN OF PROPERTY IN LAND
Margaret Ashley translation
The dominicum is mentioned in the laws of the Alamanni, 22: “servi faciant tres dies sibi et tres in dominico;” and in the law of the Bavarians, 1, 14: “servus tres dies in hebdomada in dominico operetur, tres vero sibi faciat.” It is generally known that it was the almost universal practice for the dominicum to be tilled and reaped by the tenants.
