[NERATIUS libro quinto membranarum. ] §17.1.35.prSi fundum, qui ex parte tuus est, mandaui tibi ut emeres mihi, uerum est mandatum posse ita consistere, ut mihi ceteris partibus redemptis etiam tuam partem praestare debeas.
[NERATIUS, Parchments, Book V.] If I commissioned you to buy for me a tract of land which is partly yours, it is true that a mandate can be so established that, after the other shares have been bought up, you must also deliver your own share to me.
sed si quidem certo pretio emendas eas mandauerim, quanticumque aliorum partes redemeris, sic et tua pars coartabitur, ut non abundet mandati quantitatem, in quam tibi emendum totum mandaui: sin autem nullo certo pretio constituto emere tibi mandauerim tuque ex diuersis pretiis partes ceterorum redemeris, et tuam partem uiri boni arbitratu aestimato pretio dari oportet,
But if indeed I commissioned you to buy them at a certain price, however much you may have bought up the shares of the others, your own share will be so limited that it does not exceed the amount of the mandate in which I commissioned you to buy the whole. If, however, I commissioned you to buy without any certain price being fixed, and you bought up the shares of the others at various prices, your own share must also be delivered at a price estimated by the judgment of an honest man.
