Dig. 48,22,12Marcianus libro ...... Qui patria relegatus non excedit, ad tempus provincia relegatur.
Dig. 48,22,15Marcianus libro ...... Deportatus civitatem amittit, libertatem retinet et iure civili caret, gentium vero utitur. itaque emit vendit, locat conducit, permutat, fenus exercet aliaque similia. unde etiam recte obligat, quae post condemnationem quaesivit: quibus in rebus creditores quoque, qui bona fide contraxerunt cum eo, praeferuntur fisco deportatis defunctis succedenti. nam bona, quae condemnationis tempore inveniuntur, deportatus alienare non potest. 1Qui inconsulto principe a praeside deportatur, et heres institui et legata capere potest.
Marcianus, Book. A person who is deported loses his rights as a citizen, but not his freedom; and, indeed, he cannot enjoy any special right derived from citizenship, but he can enjoy a right of nations; for he can purchase and sell, hire and lease, exchange property, lend money at interest, and do everything of this kind; and he can also give and pledge any property which he may subsequently acquire, unless he encumbers it in order to defraud the Treasury, which will succeed to him after his death; for he cannot alienate any property which has been confiscated. 1Anyone who has been deported by a Governor, without the sanction of the Emperor, can become an heir and receive legacies left to him by will.
Dig. 48,22,16Idem libro ...... Cum Ulpianus damascenus ab imperatore petisset, ut matri deportatae ad victum necessaria relinquere sibi permitteretur, item mater per libertum suum petisset, ut quaedam filio deportato relinquere liceret, imperator Antoninus ita iis rescripsit. ‘Neque hereditas nec legatum nec fideicommissum contra consuetudinem legemque publicam huiusmodi personis relinqui potest neque earum condicionem mutari convenit: quoniam autem pie rogastis, permitto vobis ultima voluntate relinquere iis, quae ad victum aliosque usus necessarios sufficiant, ut si quid ad eos ex his causis pertinebit, capere iis liceat’.
The Same, Book. Ulpianus Damascenus petitioned the Emperor to allow him to leave to his mother what was necessary for her support, and his mother, through her freedman, to permit him to leave something to her deported son; whereupon the Emperor Antoninus addressed to them a Rescript as follows: “Neither an estate, nor a legacy, nor a trust can be left to persons of this kind, in violation of custom and public law, nor should the condition of such persons be changed. But as you have made the request on account of affection, I will permit you to leave by your last will sufficient for their support and their other necessities, and they can take whatever is bequeathed to them on this account.”
