Ex libro XVII
Dig. 21,1,64Pomponius libro septimo decimo epistularum. Labeo scribit, si uno pretio plures servos emisti et de uno agere velis, interaestimationem servorum proinde fieri debere, atque ut fieret in aestimationem bonitatis agri, cum ob evictam partem fundi agatur. 1Idem ait, si uno pretio plures servos vendidisti sanosque esse promisisti et pars dumtaxat eorum minus sana sit, de omnibus ‘adversus dictum promissum’ recte agi. 2Ibidem ait errare et fugere iumentum posse, nec tamen erronem aut fugitivum esse agi posse.
Pomponius, Epistles, Book XVII. Labeo says that if you purchase several slaves for one price, and you wish to bring an action with reference to one of them, an appraisement of all the slaves should be made, just as is done in appraising land when suit is brought because of the loss of a portion of said land by eviction. 1He also says that if you sold several slaves for one price, and guaranteed them to be sound, and only a part of them are sound, an action can properly be brought with reference to all, because of the representation and guarantee. 2He also says that a beast of burden can wander away and escape, but proceedings cannot be instituted on the ground that it is a wanderer or a fugitive.
