Paulus explains, continuing from the previous section, that those under power acquire an exception through agreement, and that an agreement made by a filius familias also benefits his father if sued concerning the peculium.
[PAULUS libro tertio ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, On the Edict, book 3]
adquirent1 exceptionem. idem est et in his, qui bona fide seruiunt.2 item si filius familias pactus fuerit ne a se petatur, proderit ei, et patri quoque, si de peculio conueniatur3
They will acquire an exception. The same is true also in the case of those who serve in good faith. Likewise, if a filius familias has agreed that no claim be made against him, it will benefit him, and also his father, if an action is brought concerning the peculium.
- 2.14.19.pradquirent
The third-person plural future of the verb adquirere. Although the subject is not explicitly stated, it refers to the persons under power (such as slaves or children in power) who make the agreement mentioned in the preceding section (§2.14.18.pr).
- 2.14.19.prbona fide seruiunt
The phrase refers to the Roman legal concept of 'persons serving in good faith' (bona fide seruientes), who are actually free individuals (or another's slaves) but erroneously believe themselves to be slaves and serve another. They are also granted the acquisition of exceptions in this manner.
- 2.14.19.prconueniatur
The third-person singular present subjunctive passive of the verb conuenire. It is used impersonally here, meaning 'if an action is brought'. In this context, it refers to the 'action concerning the peculium' (actio de peculio) brought against the father (pater).
