Regularum libri
Ex libro II
Dig. 38,4,7Scaevola libro secundo regularum. Adsignare et pure et sub condicione, et per epistulam vel testationem vel chirographum possumus, quia adsignatio liberti neque quasi legatum neque quasi fideicommissum percipitur: denique nec fideicommisso onerari potest.
Scævola, Rules, Book II. We can make an assignment absolutely and conditionally, by a letter, in the presence of witnesses, or by means of a written instrument, because the assignment of a freedman is not acquired either as a legacy or under the terms of a trust, nor can it be charged with the execution of a trust.
