Notae ad Papiniani De adulteriis libros
Ex libro II
Dig. 23,2,57aIn libro secundo de adulteriis Papiniani Marcianus notat: Divus Marcus et Lucius imperatores Flaviae Tertullae per mensorem libertum ita rescripserunt: ‘Movemur et temporis diuturnitate, quo ignara iuris in matrimonio avunculi tui fuisti, et quod ab avia tua collocata es, et numero liberorum vestrorum: idcircoque cum haec omnia in unum concurrunt, confirmamus statum liberorum vestrorum in eo matrimonio quaesitorum, quod ante annos quadraginta contractum est, perinde atque si legitime concepti fuissent’.
Marcianus says in a note, in the Second Book on Adultery by Papinianus, that the Divine Marcus and Lucius, Emperors, stated in a Rescript addressed to Flavia Turtulla, by means of Mensor, a freedman: “We are induced, by the length of time during which you, being ignorant of the law, have lived in matrimony with your uncle, and also because you have been married with the consent of your grandmother, as well as on account of your numerous offspring, to decide, taking all these circumstances into account, that the legal status of your children, the issue of a marriage contracted forty years ago, shall be confirmed, and that they shall, therefore, be considered legitimate.”
Dig. 48,5,8In libro secundo de adulteriis Papiniani Marcianus notat. Incesti commune crimen adversus duos simul intentari potest.
Marcianus, in the Second Book On Adultery, by Papinianus, states that a common accusation for incest can be brought at the same time against the two persons concerned.
