[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo sexto ad edictum. ] §12.5.4.prIdem si ob stuprum datum sit, uel si quis in adulterio deprehensus redemerit se: cessat enim repetitio, idque Sabinus et Pegasus responderunt. §12.5.4.1Item si dederit fur, ne proderetur, quoniam utriusque turpitudo uersatur, cessat repetitio. §12.5.4.2Quotiens autem solius accipientis turpitudo uersatur, Celsus ait repeti posse: ueluti si tibi dedero, ne mihi iniuriam facias. §12.5.4.3Sed quod meretrici datur, repeti non potest, ut Labeo et Marcellus scribunt, sed noua ratione, non ea, quod utriusque turpitudo uersatur, sed solius dantis: illam enim turpiter facere, quod sit meretrix, non turpiter accipere, cum sit meretrix. §12.5.4.4Si tibi indicium dedero, ut fugitiuum meum indices uel furem rerum mearum, non poterit repeti quod datum est: nec enim turpiter accepisti.
[ULPIAN, Twenty-Sixth Book on the Edict.]\n\nThe same applies if something is given for the purpose of illicit sexual intercourse, or if someone caught in adultery redeems himself; for recovery is barred, and Sabinus and Pegasus gave this opinion.\n\nLikewise, if a thief gives money so that he may not be betrayed, since the immorality of both parties is involved, recovery is barred.\n\nBut whenever the immorality of only the receiver is involved, Celsus says that recovery is possible; as for instance, if I give to you so that you may not do me an injury.\n\nBut what is given to a prostitute cannot be recovered, as Labeo and Marcellus write, yet for a new reason, not because the immorality of both is involved, but only that of the giver; for she acts immorally in being a prostitute, but she does not act immorally in receiving it, since she is a prostitute.\n\nIf I give you a reward so that you may point out my runaway slave or the thief of my property, what has been given cannot be recovered; for you did not receive it immorally.
quod si a fugitiuo meo acceperis ne eum indicares, condicere tibi hoc quasi furi possim: sed si ipse fur indicium a me accepit uel furis uel fugitiui socius, puto condictionem locum habere.
But if you receive it from my runaway slave so that you would not point him out, I can bring a condictio against you for this, as if against a thief; but if the thief himself, or the accomplice of the thief or of the runaway slave, has received a reward from me, I think that a condictio lies.
