This text addresses the right of a natural father to challenge the will of his son given in adoption, and the exemption of risk for tutors bringing actions of inofficious or forged testaments on behalf of their pupils.
[MARCIANUS libro quarto institutionum.]
[MARCIANUS in his Fourth Book of Institutes.]
Aduersus testamentum filii in adoptionem dati pater naturalis recte de inofficioso testamento agere potest.
A natural father can legally bring an action of inofficious testament against the testament of a son who has been given in adoption.
Tutoribus1 pupilli nomine sine periculo eius, quod testamento datum est,2 agere posse de inofficioso uel falso testamento diui Seuerus et Antoninus rescripserunt.
The Divine Severus and Antoninus issued a rescript that tutors, in the name of their pupil, can bring an action concerning an inofficious or forged testament without the risk of losing what was given to them in the testament.
- 5.2.30.1tutoribus
This is a dative noun functioning as the indirect object of the main verb 'rescripserunt' (the Divine Severus and Antoninus issued a rescript to the tutors). At the same time, it designates the logical subject of the infinitive clause 'agere posse' (that the tutors can bring an action).
- 5.2.30.1sine periculo eius, quod testamento datum est
The genitive demonstrative pronoun 'eius' depends on 'periculo' (risk), and is the antecedent of the relative clause 'quod testamento datum est' (what was given in the testament). It refers to the legal privilege where a tutor, acting on behalf of a pupil, does not risk losing the legacies or inheritances left to the pupil in the testament even if the lawsuit fails.
