Black's Law Dictionary

Lab In Roman law. The prætor, on his aceession to office, did not usually publish an entirely new edict, but retained the whole or a part of that promulgated by his predecesser, as being of an approved or permanently useful character. The portion thus repeated or handed down from year to year was called the "edietum translatitium."

See Mackeld Rom. Law, § 36.
