Dig. 13,5,2Iulianus libro undecimo digestorum. Quod si filii nomine constituerit se decem soluturum, quamvis in peculio quinque fuerint, de constituta in decem tenebitur.
Dig. 13,5,23Iulianus libro undecimo digestorum. Promissor hominis homine mortuo, cum per eum staret quo minus traderetur, etsi hominem daturum se constituerit, de constituta pecunia tenebitur, ut pretium eius solvat.
Julianus, Digest, Book XI. Where a promisor agrees to deliver a slave and the slave dies when the former was to blame for his not having been delivered; even though he promised to deliver a slave, he will still be liable for a promise for the payment of money, and hence he must pay the value of the slave.
Dig. 13,7,28Iulianus libro undecimo digestorum. Si creditor, qui rem pignori acceperat, amissa eius possessione Serviana actione petierit et litis aestimationem consecutus sit, postea debitor eandem rem petens exceptione summovetur, nisi offerat ei debitor, quod pro eo solutum est. 1Si servus pro peculiari nomine pignus acceperit, actio pigneraticia adversus dominum debitori competit.
Julianus, Digest, Book XI. Where a creditor has received property in pledge and having lost possession of it proceeds by means of the Servian Action, and recovers damages; and the debtor afterwards brings suit for the same property, he will be barred by an exception, unless he offers him what was paid for it. 1Where a slave receives a pledge on account of his peculium, an action on pledge can be brought by the debtor against his master.
Dig. 14,3,12Iulianus libro undecimo digestorum. et ideo utilis institoria actio adversus me tibi competet, mihi vero adversus te vel de peculio dispensatoris, si ex conducto agere velim, vel de peculio vicarii, quod ei mercem vendendam mandaverim: pretiumque, quo emisti, in rem tuam versum videri poterit eo, quod debitor servi tui factus esses.
Julianus, Digest, Book XI. Therefore an Institorian equitable action can be brought by you against me; or, on the other hand, I can sue you either for the peculium of the slave who is managing the business, and also on the contract for hiring, if I desire to do so; or for the peculium of the sub-slave, because I gave him directions to sell the goods, and the price at which you made the purchase may be held as having reference to your affairs for the reason that you became a debtor to your own slave.
Dig. 14,4,8Iulianus libro undecimo digestorum. quia non de dolo est, sed rei persecutionem continet: quare etiam mortuo servo dominus, item heres eius perpetuo teneri debebit propter factum defuncti: quamvis non aliter quam dolo interveniente competat.
Julianus, Digest, Book XI. Because the proceeding is not based upon fraud, but includes the prosecution of a claim, and therefore, even if the slave is dead, the master, as well as his heir, should be held perpetually liable for the act of the deceased; although the action will not lie except where fraud has been committed.
Dig. 15,3,14Iulianus libro undecimo digestorum. Marcellus notat: Interdum et propter hoc quod in rem alterius socii versum est de in rem verso cum altero agi potest, qui conventus a socio petere potest id in quo damnatus fuerit. quid enim dicemus, si peculium servo ab altero ademptum fuerit? Paulus: ergo haec quaestio ita procedit, si de peculio agi non potest.
Julianus, Digest, Book XI. Note by Marcellus. Sometimes, also, the action for property employed in the affairs of another can be brought against one joint-owner; for the reason that such employment of property has taken place, and he, having been sued, can recover from his partner the amount for which judgment has been rendered against him. What shall we say, however, if the slave has been deprived of the peculium by one of the owners? Paulus says that this question only arises where an action on the peculium does not lie.
