De veteranorum et militum successione
(Concerning the succession of veterans and soldiers.)
1 Macer libro secundo de re militari. Militi, qui capite puniri meruit, testamentum facere concedendum Paulus et Menander scribunt eiusque bona intestati, si punitus sit, ad cognatos eius pertinere, si tamen ex militari delicto, non ex communi punitus est.
1 Macer, On Military Affairs, Book II. Paulus and Menander say that a soldier who deserves to suffer the punishment of death should be permitted to make a will; and if he should die intestate, after having been punished, his property will belong to his next of kin; provided he is punished for a military offence, and not for an ordinary crime.
2 Papinianus libro sexto decimo responsorum. Bona militis intestati defuncti castrensia fisco non vindicantur, cum heres legitimus ad finem quinti gradus exstitit aut proximus cognatus eiusdem gradus intra tempus possessionem acceperit.
2 Ulpianus, Opinions, Book XVI. The castrensian property of a soldier who died intestate cannot be claimed by the Treasury, if he left a lawful heir, who is within the sixth degree; or one next of kin in the same degree demands prætorian possession within the prescribed time.
