Ad legem Iuliam et Papiam libri
Ex libro VIII
Dig. 23,2,48Terentius Clemens libro octavo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Filio patroni in libertam paternam eandemque uxorem idem iuris, quod ipsi patrono daretur, ex sententia legis accommodatur. idemque dicendum erit et si alterius patroni filius vivo altero libertam eorum uxorem duxerit. 1Si ignominiosam libertam suam patronus uxorem duxerit, placet, quia contra legem maritus sit, non habere eum hoc legis beneficium. 2Si uni ex filiis adsignatam alter uxorem duxerit, non idem ius quod in patrono tribuendum: nihil enim iuris habebit, quia senatus omne ius libertorum adsignatorum ad eum transtulit, cui id pater tribuit.
Terentius Clemens, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book VIII. The same legal rights are accorded to the son of a patron, in the marriage of a freedwoman belonging to his father, as are granted to the patron himself. This rule applies where the son of one patron, during the lifetime of another, marries the freedwoman of both. 1It is settled that where a patron marries his freedwoman who has disgraced herself, he will not be entitled to the advantages conferred by this law, because he married her in violation of its provisions. 2Where one son marries a freedwoman who has been allotted by will to another, the former will not be entitled to the same rights as a patron. And, in fact, he will have no control over her, because the Senate transferred all the rights belonging to a patron to him for whom his father intended her.
Dig. 38,1,14Terentius Clemens libro octavo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Plane cum desierit nupta esse, operas peti posse omnes fere consentiunt.
Terentius Clemens, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book VIII. It is evident, when the freedwoman ceases to be married, that her services can be demanded, as almost all authorities hold.
Dig. 40,9,32Idem libro octavo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Si non voluntate patroni is, qui in eius potestate sit, iusiurandum adegerit vel stipulatus fuerit, ne nubat, nisi id patronus remittat aut liberabit libertam, incidet in legem: videbitur enim id ipsum dolo malo facere. 1Non prohibentur lege Aelia Sentia patroni a libertis mercedes capere, sed obligare eos: itaque si sponte sua libertus mercedem patrono praestiterit, nullum huius legis praemium consequetur. 2Is, qui operas aut in singulas eas certam summam promisit, ad hanc legem non pertinet, quoniam operas praestando potest liberari. idem Octavenus probat et adicit: obligare sibi libertum, ut mercedem operarum capiat, is intellegitur, qui hoc solum agit, ut utique mercedem capiat, etiamsi sub titulo operarum eam stipulatus fuerit.
The Same, On the Law of Julia et Papia, Book I. If he who is under the control of a patron should compel the woman to swear, or to enter into a stipulation not to marry against the consent of the patron, unless the latter releases the woman from her oath, or her promise, he will come within the provisions of the law, for he himself will be held to have acted in bad faith. 1Patrons are not prohibited by the Lex Ælia Sentia from receiving the wages of their freedmen, but they are forbidden to compel them to surrender them. Therefore, if a freedman voluntarily pays his wages to his patron, he will have no recourse against him under this law. 2This law does not apply to a freedman who has promised certain days of labor, or a sum of money, as by performing labor he can become free. Octavenus approves this opinion, and adds that a patron is understood to have compelled his freedman to pay him the wages of his labor, where his acts show that his intention was only to obtain the said wages, even if he stipulated for days of labor.
