De excusationibus tutelarum liber singularis
Dig. 26,3,4Paulus libro singulari de excusationibus tutelarum. Tutelarum. si patronus vel quivis extraneus impuberi, quem heredem instituerit, tutorem dederit et extra ea nihil in bonis habeat pupillus, non male dicetur iudicium eius sequendum esse, qui et personam eius, quem tutorem esse voluerit, noverit et impuberem ita dilexit, ut eum heredem institueret.
Paulus, On the Excuses of Guardianship. When a patron or a stranger appoints a guardian for a minor whom he has named as his heir, and the ward has no other property; it is well to hold that his wishes should be carried out, as he was acquainted with the person whom he wished to be the guardian, and he was so much attached to the minor that he made him his heir.
