[ULPIANUS libro septimo de officio proconsulis. ] §11.4.3.prDiuus Pius rescripsit eum, qui fugitiuum uult requirere in praediis alienis, posse adire praesidem litteras ei daturum et, si ita res exegerit, apparitorem quoque, ut ei permittatur ingredi et inquirere, et poenam eundem praesidem in eum constituere, qui inquiri non permisserit.
[ULPIANUS, from the seventh book on the office of proconsul.] The Divine Pius issued a rescript that a person who wishes to search for a runaway slave on another's estate can approach the governor, who will give him a letter and, if the case so requires, an officer as well, so that he may be permitted to enter and search; and that the same governor shall impose a penalty on anyone who does not permit the search.
sed et diuus Marcus oratione, quam in senatu recitauit, facultatem dedit ingrediendi tam Caesaris quam senatorum et paganorum praedia uolentibus fugitiuos inquirere scrutarique cubilia atque uestigia occultantium.
Moreover, the Divine Marcus, in an address which he read in the Senate, granted the right of entry to the estates of the Emperor, as well as of senators and plebeians, to those who wish to search for runaway slaves and to ransack the hiding-places and tracks of those who conceal them.
