[MARCIANUS libro singulari ad formulam hypothecariam. ] §20.3.1.prPupillus sine tutoris auctoritate hypothecam dare non potest. §20.3.1.1Si filius familias pro alio rem peculiarem obligauerit uel seruus, dicendum est eam non teneri, licet liberam peculii sui administrationem habeant: sicut nec donare eis conceditur: non enim usquequaque habent liberam administrationem.
[MARCIANUS, in his single book on the Hypothecary Formula.]\n\nA ward cannot give a hypothec without the authority of his tutor.\n\nIf a son in power or a slave should pledge property belonging to his peculium for another, it must be said that it is not bound, even though they have the free administration of their peculium; just as it is not permitted to them to make a gift, for they do not have free administration in every respect.
facti tamen est quaestio, si quaeratur, quousque eis permissum uideatur peculium administrare. §20.3.1.2Eam rem, quam quis emere non potest, quia commercium eius non est, iure pignoris accipere non potest, ut diuus Pius Claudio Saturnino rescripsit.
It is, however, a question of fact, if it is asked how far they are deemed to have been permitted to administer the peculium.\n\nA thing which a person cannot buy, because it is not an object of commerce, he cannot receive by right of pledge, as the deified Pius wrote in a rescript to Claudius Saturninus.
quid ergo, si praedium quis litigiosum pignori acceperit, an exceptione summouendus sit? et Octauenus putabat etiam in pignoribus locum habere exceptionem: quod ait Scaeuola libro tertio uariarum quaestionum procedere, ut in rebus mobilibus exceptio locum habeat.
What then, if someone receives a litigious estate in pledge, is he to be barred by an exception? And Octavenus thought that the exception has a place even in pledges, which Scaevola says in the third book of his Various Questions holds good, to the effect that the exception has a place in movable things.
