[ULPIANUS libro primo ad edictum aedilium curulium. ] §21.1.21.prRedhibere est facere, ut rursus habeat uenditor quod habuerit, et quia reddendo id fiebat, idcirco redhibitio est appel||lata quasi redditio.
[ULPIANUS libro primo ad edictum aedilium curulium.] To redhibit is to make it so that the seller again has what he had, and because this was done by returning (reddendo), therefore redhibition (redhibitio) was called || as if it were a return (redditio).
§21.1.21.1Cum redditur ab emptore mancipium uenditori, de dolo malo promitti oportere ei Pomponius ait et ideo cautiones necessarias esse, ne forte aut pignori datus sit seruus ab emptore aut iussu eius furtum siue damnum cui datum sit.
When a slave is returned by the buyer to the seller, Pomponius says that a promise ought to be made to him regarding fraud (dolus malus), and therefore guarantees are necessary lest by chance the slave has been given in pledge by the buyer, or a theft or damage has been done to someone by his order.
§21.1.21.2Idem Pomponius ait interdum etiam dupliciter cautiones interponi debere, alias in praeteritum, alias in futurum, ut puta si eius serui nomine qui redhibetur emptor procuratorue eius iudicium accepit, uel quod cum eo ageretur uel quod ipse eius nomine ageret.
The same Pomponius says that sometimes guarantees ought to be given even in a double form, one for the past, the other for the future: as for example, if in the name of the slave who is being redhibited, the buyer or his procurator has accepted a trial, either because an action was brought against him or because he himself brought an action in the slave's name.
cauendum autem esse ait, si quid sine dolo malo emptor condemnatus fuerit aut dederit, his rebus recte praestari, uel si quid ex eo quod egerit ad eum peruenerit doloue malo uel culpa eius factum sit, quo minus perueniret isdem diebus, reddi.
And he says that guarantee must be given that, if the buyer has been condemned to pay anything or has given anything without fraud, these things shall be properly made good; or if anything from what he has sued for has come to him, or if by his fraud or fault it has been brought about that it did not come within the same days, it shall be restored.
§21.1.21.3Idem ait futuri temporis nomine cautionem ei, qui sciens uendidit, fieri solere, si in fuga est homo sine culpa emptoris et nihilo minus condemnatur uenditor: tum enim cauere oportere, ut emptor hominem persequatur et in sua potestate redactum uenditori reddat,
The same says that in the name of future time, a guarantee is usually given to one who sold with knowledge, if the slave is in flight without the fault of the buyer and nevertheless the seller is condemned: for then it is necessary to guarantee that the buyer will pursue the slave and, having brought him back under his power, restore him to the seller.
