Ad edictum provinciale libri
Ex libro XXIV
Dig. 42,5,16Gaius libro vicesimo quarto ad edictum provinciale. Cum bona veneunt debitoris, in comparatione extranei et eius, qui creditor cognatusve sit, potior habetur creditor cognatusve, magis tamen creditor quam cognatus, et inter creditores potior is, cui maior pecunia debebitur.
Gaius, On the Provincial Edict, Book XXIV. When the property of a debtor is sold, a creditor who is a blood-relative is preferred to a stranger. Where there are several creditors, and all of them are not relations of the debtor, he to whom the largest sum of money is due shall be preferred.

Gaius, On the Provincial Edict, Book XIV. Or idiotic,
Dig. 50,16,58Gaius libro vicensimo quarto ad edictum provinciale. Licet inter ‘gesta’ et ‘facta’ videtur quaedam esse suptilis differentia, attamen καταχρηστικῶς nihil inter factum et gestum interest. 1Paternos libertos recte videmur dicere nostros libertos: liberorum libertos non recte nostros libertos dicimus.
Gaius, On the Provincial Edict, Book XXIV. Although there seems to be some subtle distinction between the transaction and the conduct of business, this, however, is incorrect, as no such distinction exists. 1We consider paternal freedmen to be properly called our freedmen; but we do not correctly designate the children of such freedmen our own freedmen.
Dig. 50,17,147Gaius libro vicesimo quarto ad edictum provinciale. Semper specialia generalibus insunt.
Gaius, On the Provincial Edict, Book XXIV. Special matters are always included in general ones.
