[PAULUS libro quarto ad Plautium. ] §14.3.14.prIdem erit et si alienus seruus communi merci praepositus sit: nam aduersus utrumque in solidum actio dari debet et quod quisque praestiterit, eius partem societatis uel communi diuidundo iudicio consequetur.
[PAULUS from the fourth book on Plautius.] The same will hold true also if a slave belonging to another has been appointed for common goods; for an action in solidum (for the whole amount) ought to be granted against both, and whatever each has paid, he will recover that person's share by the action of partnership or for the division of common property.
certe ubicumque actio societatis uel communi diuidundo cessat, quemque pro parte sua condemnari oportere constat, ueluti si is, cuius seruo creditum est, duobus heredibus institutis ei seruo libertatem dederit: nam heredum quisque pro sua parte conueniendi sunt, quia cessat inter eos communi diuidundo iudicium.
Certainly, wherever the action of partnership or for the division of common property ceases to apply, it is clear that each person ought to be condemned in proportion to his own share, as, for example, if the owner, to whose slave credit was given, having appointed two heirs, has granted freedom to that slave; for each of the heirs must be sued for his own share, because the action for the division of common property ceases to lie between them.
