[IDEM libro trigesimo octauo ad Sabinum. ] §26.4.3.prTutela legitima, quae patronis defertur e lege duodecim tabularum, non quidem specialiter uel nominatim delata est, sed per consequentias hereditatium, quae ex ipsa lege patronis datae sunt.
[THE SAME, from the thirty-eighth book on Sabinus.] Statutory tutelage, which is conferred on patrons by the Law of the Twelve Tables, was indeed not conferred specifically or by name, but through the consequences of inheritances, which were given to patrons by that very law.
Ergo marumissor §26.4.3.1ex lege duodecim tabularum tutor est, siue sponte manumisit siue etiam compulsus ex causa fideicommissi manumisit.
Therefore, the manumittor, whether he manumitted voluntarily or even because he was compelled by reason of a trust, is the tutor under the Law of the Twelve Tables.
§26.4.3.2Sed et si hac lege emit, ut manumitteret, et ex constitutione diui Marci ad Aufidium Uictorinum peruenit ad libertatem, dicendum est tutorem esse.
But even if he purchased under this condition, that he should manumit, and the slave arrived at freedom under the constitution of the divine Marcus addressed to Aufidius Victorinus, it must be said that he is the tutor.
Plane si forte ex §26.4.3.3Rubriano senatus consulto peruenerit ad libertatem, non habebit tutorem eum qui rogatus est, sed orcinus libertus effectus ad familiam testatoris pertinebit.
Clearly, if by chance the slave should arrive at freedom under the Rubrian Senatusconsultum, he will not have the person who was requested to manumit as tutor, but having become an Orcinian freedman, he will belong to the family of the testator.
in qua specie incipit tutela ad liberos patroni primos pertinere, quae ad patronos non pertinuit: quod quidem in omnibus orcinis libertis locum habet testamento manumissis.
In which case tutelage begins to belong to the immediate children of the patron, which did not belong to the patrons themselves; which indeed takes place in all Orcinian freedmen manumitted by will.
§26.4.3.4Si duo pluresue manumittant, omnes tutores sunt: sed si mulier sit inter manumissores, dicendum est solos masculos fore tutores.
If two or more manumit, all are tutors; but if there is a woman among the manumittors, it must be said that only the males will be tutors.
§26.4.3.5Sed si aliquis ex patronis decesserit, tutela penes ceteros patronos est, quamuis ille filium reliquerit.
But if any of the patrons dies, the tutelage remains with the other patrons, even though he left a son.
sed et si ab hostibus fuerit captus, interim soli compatroni tutores sunt.
But also if he is captured by enemies, in the meantime only the co-patrons are tutors.
simili modo et si in seruitutem redactus sit, apparet ceteros esse tutores.
In like manner, if he is reduced to slavery, it is apparent that the others are tutors.
§26.4.3.6Sed si omnes patroni decesserint, tunc tutela ad liberos eorum incipit pertinere.
But if all the patrons die, then the tutelage begins to belong to their children.
§26.4.3.7Proinde si alter ex patronis filium, alter nepotem reliquerit, utrum ad solum filium an uero et ad nepotem tutela pertineat, quia et nepos in familia patris sui proximus est? hoc apparebit ex legitimis hereditatibus: legitima autem hereditas ad solum filium pertinet.
Accordingly, if one of the patrons leaves a son, and another a grandson, does the tutelage belong to the son alone, or indeed to the grandson as well, because the grandson also is the nearest in the family of his father? This will appear from statutory inheritances; for a statutory inheritance belongs to the son alone.
ergo et tutela ad solum filium descendit, post filium tunc ad nepotem.
Therefore, the tutelage also descends to the son alone, and after the son, then to the grandson.
§26.4.3.8Quaeri potest, si patroni filius sit remotus uel excusatus, an nepoti tutela deferatur.
It may be asked, if the son of a patron is removed or excused, whether the tutelage is conferred on the grandson.
et Marcellus in ea sententia est, ut succedi non posse scribat: idcirco enim abierunt tutela, ut alii in locum eorum dentur, non ut successio admittatur.
And Marcellus is of the opinion, writing that there can be no succession; for they departed from the tutelage for this reason, that others might be given in their place, not that succession should be admitted.
§26.4.3.9Non tantum autem morte, uerum etiam capitis deminutione successio debet in legitima tutela admitti: quare si proximior capite deminutus est, qui post eum est succedit in tutelae administratione.
Moreover, succession in statutory tutelage ought to be admitted not only by death, but also by capitis deminutio; wherefore if the nearer relative suffers capitis deminutio, the one who is after him succeeds to the administration of the tutelage.
§26.4.3.10Si parens filium uel filiam uel nepotem uel neptem uel deinceps impuberes, quos in potestate habeat, emancipet, uicem legitimi tutoris sustinet:
If a parent emancipates his son or daughter, or grandson or granddaughter, or further descendants under puberty, whom he has in his power, he sustains the role of a statutory tutor.
