Ad legem Iuliam et Papiam libri
Ex libro I
Dig. 23,1,17Gaius libro primo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Saepe iustae ac necessariae causae non solum annum vel biennium, sed etiam triennium et quadriennium et ulterius trahunt sponsalia, veluti valetudo sponsi sponsaeve vel mortes parentium aut capitalia crimina aut longiores peregrinationes quae ex necessitate fiunt.
Gaius, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book I. Just and necessary reasons often exist for protracting a betrothal, for one, two, three, or four years, and even for a longer time; as, for instance, the illness of either of the parties, the death of their parents, accusations of capital crimes, or long journeys made through necessity.
Dig. 48,19,29Gaius libro primo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Qui ultimo supplicio damnantur, statim et civitatem et libertatem perdunt. itaque praeoccupat hic casus mortem et nonnumquam longum tempus occupat: quod accidit in personis eorum, qui ad bestias damnantur. saepe etiam ideo servari solent post damnationem, ut ex his in alios quaestio habeatur.
Gaius, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book I. Those who have been sentenced to death immediately lose both their citizenship and their freedom. Therefore, this condition attaches to them while living, and sometimes affects them for a long time; which happens to those who are condemned to be thrown to wild beasts, for they are frequently kept after having been sentenced, in order that they may be tortured to obtain evidence against others.
