Digestorum libri
Ex libro XXVI
Dig. 1,7,18Marcellus libro vicensimo sexto digestorum. Non aliter enim voluntati eius, qui adrogare pupillum volet, si causam eius ob alia probabit, subscribendum erit, quam si caverit servo publico se restituturum ea, quae ex bonis eius consecutus fuerit, illis, ad quos res perventura esset, si adrogatus permansisset in suo statu.
Marcellus, Digest, Book XXVI. For when a man desires to arrogate a ward, if he shows a good reason for doing so in other respects, he can only be heard if he gives a bond to a public slave binding himself, “that he will restore any of the property of his ward that may come into his possession to those persons who would have been entitled to said property, if the arrogated party had remained in his former condition”.
Dig. 1,7,20Marcellus libro vicensimo sexto digestorum. Haec autem satisdatio locum habet, si impubes decessit. sed etsi de pupillo loquitur, tamen hoc et in pupilla observandum est.
Dig. 1,7,38Marcellus libro vicensimo sexto digestorum. Adoptio non iure facta a principe confirmari potest.
Dig. 23,2,41Marcellus libro vicesimo sexto digestorum. Probrum intellegitur etiam in his mulieribus esse, quae turpiter viverent volgoque quaestum facerent, etiamsi non palam. 1Et si qua se in concubinatu alterius quam patroni tradidisset, matris familias honestatem non habuisse dico.
Marcellus, Digest, Book XXVI. It is understood that disgrace attaches to those women who live unchastely, and earn money by prostitution, even if they do not do so openly. 1If a woman should live in concubinage with someone besides her patron, I say that she does not possess the virtue of the mother of a family.
Dig. 35,2,57Idem libro vicesimo sexto digestorum. Cum dotem maritus alicui legaverit, ut uxori restituatur, non habere legem Falcidiam locum dicendum est. et sane in plerisque ita observatur, ut omissa interpositi capientis persona spectetur.
The Same, Digest, Book XXVI. Where a husband bequeaths a dowry of his wife to someone in order that it may be returned to her, it must be said that the Falcidian Law does not apply; and it is clear that in very many instances arrangements are made to leave out the intermediate party for the benefit of the person entitled to the legacy.
