Hermogenianus explains that a party who violates a lawful compromise is not only barred by an exception but is also compelled to pay the stipulated penalty for breach, provided the agreement remains in force.
[HERMOGENIANUS libro primo iuris epitomarum.]
[HERMOGENIANUS in the first book of the Epitome of Law.]
Qui fidem licitae transactionis rupit, non exceptione tantum summouebitur, sed et poenam, quam, si contra placitum fecerit rato manente pacto,1 stipulanti2 recte promiserat, praestare cogetur.
He who has broken the faith of a lawful transaction will not only be barred by an exception, but will also be compelled to pay the penalty which, if he should act contrary to the agreement while the pact remains valid, he had rightly promised to the stipulator.
- 2.15.16.prrato manente pacto
An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun pactum and the present participle of manere. It means 'while the agreement remains valid', indicating that the main compromise itself is not rescinded, but rather the penalty for breach is exacted under its continued validity.
- 2.15.16.prstipulanti
Dative of the present participle of the deponent verb stipulari (to stipulate / exact a promise), used substantively. It serves as the indirect object of promiserat, denoting the other party to the compromise who exacted the promise of the penalty.
