Ad edictum provinciale libri
Ex libro XXVI
Dig. 41,2,15Gaius libro vicensimo sexto ad edictum provinciale. Rem, quae nobis subrepta est, perinde intellegimur desinere possidere atque eam, quae vi nobis erepta est. sed si is, qui in potestate nostra est, subripuerit, quamdiu apud ipsum sit res, tamdiu non amittimus possessionem, quia per huiusmodi personas adquiritur nobis possessio. et haec ratio est, quare videamur fugitivum possidere, quod is, quemadmodum aliarum rerum possessionem intervertere non potest, ita ne suam quidem potest.
Gaius, On the Provincial Edict, Book XXVI. We are understood to cease to possess property which has been stolen from us, just as if we had been deprived of it by force. But if someone who is under our control should steal anything from us, we will not lose possession of it, as long as it remains in his hands; for the reason that possession is acquired for us by means of persons of this kind. This is why we are considered to possess a fugitive slave; for, as we cannot be deprived of the possession of other things which he has, so, in like manner, we cannot be deprived of him.
