Ad legem duodecim tabularum libri
Ex libro II
Dig. 50,16,234Idem libro secundo ad legem duodecim tabularum. Quos nos hostes appellamus, eos veteres ‘perduelles’ appellabant, per eam adiectionem indicantes cum quibus bellum esset. 1‘Locuples’ est, qui satis idonee habet pro magnitudine rei, quam actor restituendam esse petit. 2Verbum ‘vivere’ quidam putant ad cibum pertinere: sed Ofilius ad Atticum ait his verbis et vestimenta et stramenta contineri, sine his enim vivere neminem posse.
The Same, On the Law of the Twelve Tables, Book II. Those whom we style enemies the ancients called perduelles, indicating by this term that they were persons with whom they were at war. 1He is considered solvent who has sufficient property to satisfy any claim which may be brought against him by a creditor. 2Some authorities hold that the term “subsistence” has reference only to food; but Ofilius and Atticus say that under this term clothing and covering of every description are included, for without them no one can subsist.
