De poenis militum liber singularis
Dig. 47,17,3Paulus libro singulari de poenis militum. Miles, qui in furto balneario adprehensus est, ignominia mitti debet.
Paulus, On the Punishment of Soldiers. A soldier who has been caught stealing a bath should be dishonorably discharged from the service.
Dig. 48,3,8Paulus libro singulari de poenis militum. Carceri praepositus si pretio corruptus sine vinculis agere custodiam vel ferrum venenumve in carcerem inferri passus est, officio iudicis puniendus est: si nescit, ob neglegentiam removendus est officio.
Paulus, On the Punishments of Soldiers. If a jailor, having been corrupted with money, permits prisoners to remain in custody unchained, or allows weapons or poison to be introduced into the prison, he should be punished by the judge as a part of his official duty; and if this was done without the knowledge of the jailor, he ought to be removed from his office for negligence.
Dig. 49,16,14Paulus libro singulari de poenis militum. Qui commeatus spatium excessit, emansoris vel desertoris loco habendus est. habetur tamen ratio dierum, quibus tardius reversus est: item temporis navigationis vel itineris. et si se probet valetudine impeditum vel a latronibus detentum similive casu moram passum, dum non tardius a loco profectum se probet, quam ut occurrere posset intra commeatum, restituendus est. 1Arma alienasse grave crimen est et ea culpa desertioni exaequatur, utique si tota alienavit: sed et si partem eorum, nisi quod interest. nam si tibiale vel umerale alienavit, castigari verberibus debet, si vero loricam scutum galeam gladium, desertori similis est. tironi in hoc crimine facilius parcetur armorumque custodi plerumque ea culpa imputatur, si arma militi commisit non suo tempore.
Paulus, On Military Punishments. He who exceeds the time of his furlough is considered a vagabond, or a deserter. The number of days by which he has exceeded his leave of absence, when he returns, should be taken into consideration; as well as the time consumed by a sea voyage, or by his journey. If he proves that he was prevented by illness, or detained by robbers, or delayed by some reason of this kind, and shows that he had not departed from the place, where he was, too late to return within the time granted by his furlough, he should be restored to his rank. 1It is a serious crime for a soldier to sell his arms, and it is considered equal to that of desertion where he disposes of all of them, but if he only sells a portion, his punishment will depend upon what he sold. For if he sells the armor for his legs or shoulders, he shall be punished by scourging; if, however, he sells his breastplate, his shield, his helmet, and his sword, he resembles a deserter. A new recruit is more readily pardoned for this crime, and generally the custodian of the arms is to blame if he gave them to the soldier at an improper time.
