Callistratus explains that private confinement, pirate capture, and stone quarries are included in the definition of "chains" for relief, while Labeo holds that "custody" refers only to public detention.

[CALLISTRATUS libro secundo edicti monitorii.]
Succurritur etiam ei, qui in uinculis fuisset. quod1 non solum ad eum pertinet, qui publica custodia coercetur, sed ad eum quoque, qui a latronibus aut praedonibus uel potentiore ui oppressus uinculis coercebatur. uinculorum autem appellatio latius accipitur: nam etiam inclusos ueluti lautumiis uinctorum numero haberi placet,2 quia nihil intersit, parietibus an compedibus teneatur. custodiam autem solam publicam accipi Labeo putat.3
Relief is also granted to him who had been in chains. This applies not only to him who is confined by public custody, but also to him who, having been overpowered by robbers or pirates or by a superior force, was confined in chains. Moreover, the term “chains” is understood more broadly; for it is accepted that even those shut up, for instance, in stone quarries, are to be held in the number of the bound, because there is no difference whether one is held by walls or by fetters. However, Labeo thinks that only public custody should be understood.
