[PAULUS libro uicensimo nono ad edictum. ] §13.5.19.prId quod sub condicione debetur, siue pure siue certo die constituatur, eadem condicione suspenditur, ut exsistente condicione teneatur, deficiente utraque actio depereat.
[PAULUS, from the twenty-ninth book on the Edict.] What is owed under a condition, whether the promise is made unconditionally or for a certain day, is suspended by the same condition, so that, when the condition is fulfilled, he is bound, and when it fails, both actions are lost.
§13.5.19.1Sed is, qui pure debet, si sub condicione constituat, inquit Pomponius in hunc utilem actionem esse.
But if he who owes unconditionally makes a promise under a condition, Pomponius says that there is an action on the case against him.
§13.5.19.2Si pater uel dominus constituerit se soluturum quod fuit in peculio, non minueretur peculium eo, quod ex ea causa obstrictus esse coeperit: et licet interierit peculium, non tamen liberatur.
If a father or a master has promised that he will pay what was in the peculium, the peculium would not be diminished by the fact that he began to be bound from that cause; and even if the peculium has ceased to exist, he is nevertheless not released.
