[PAULUS libro septuagensimo quinto ad edictum. ] §2.8.10.prSi ab arbitro probati sunt fideiussores, pro locupletibus habendi sunt, cum potuerit querella ad competentem iudicem deferri, qui ex causa improbat ab arbitro probatos, alias improbatos probat:
[PAULUS, in the seventy-fifth book on the Edict.] If sureties have been approved by an arbiter, they must be regarded as solvent, since a complaint could have been referred to the competent judge, who, on cause shown, rejects those approved by the arbiter, or otherwise approves those who were rejected.
§2.8.10.1multoque magis, si sua uoluntate accepit fideiussores, contentus his esse debet.
And much more so, if a party has accepted sureties of his own free will, he ought to be content with them.
quod si medio tempore calamitas fideiussoribus insignis uel magna inopia accidit, causa cognita ex integro satisdandum erit.
But if in the meantime a significant disaster or great poverty has befallen the sureties, security must be given anew after the case has been investigated.
