Ulpian states that if a son-in-power or a female slave manages affairs, it is highly equitable to grant an action against the father (or master), provided they have a peculium or the management turned to the father's benefit.
[ULPIANUS libro decimo ad edictum.]
[ULPIAN, on the edict, book ten]
Si filius familias negotia gessisse proponatur,1 aequissimum erit in patrem quoque actionem dari, siue peculium habet siue in rem patris sui uertit:2 et si ancilla, simili modo.
If a son-in-power is proposed to have managed affairs, it will be most equitable for an action to be granted against the father also, whether he has a peculium or it has turned to the benefit of his father’s estate; and if a female slave, in like manner.
- 3.5.13.prproponatur
The subject is filius familias, forming a personal passive construction (nominative with infinitive) with the perfect infinitive gessisse: 'if a son-in-power is proposed to have managed affairs.'
- 3.5.13.pruertit
The verb is in the perfect tense (uertit) used intransitively or reflexively, with the omitted subject being the aforementioned management of affairs (negotia gessisse) or its proceeds. 'In rem uertere' is a technical term in Roman law meaning that the managed affairs 'turned to the benefit of' the father's estate.
