[GAIUS libro duodecimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §26.7.13.prTutor secundum dignitatem facultatesque pupilli modum seruorum aestimare debet, qui circa eum futuri sunt.
[GAIUS in the twelfth book on the Provincial Edict.] The tutor ought to determine the number of slaves who are to be about the pupil in accordance with the pupil's dignity and resources.
§26.7.13.1Non est audiendus tutor, cum dicat ideo cessasse pupillarem pecuniam, quod idonea nomina non inueniret, si arguatur eo tempore suam pecuniam bene collocasse.
The tutor is not to be heard when he says that the pupil's money lay idle because he could not find suitable debtors, if it is proved that at that time he successfully invested his own money.
§26.7.13.2In soluendis legatis et fideicommissis attendere debet tutor, ne cui non debitum soluat, nec nuptiale munus matri pupilli uel sorori mittere.
In paying legacies and fideicommissa, the tutor must take care not to pay anyone what is not due, and not to send a wedding gift to the pupil's mother or sister.
aliud est, si matri forte aut sorori pupilli tutor ea quae ad uictum necessaria sunt praestiterit, cum semet ipsa sustinere non possit: nam ratum id habendum est: nec enim eadem causa est eius, quod in eam rem impenditur et quod muneris legatorumue nomine erogatur.
It is a different matter if the tutor happens to have provided what is necessary for sustenance to the pupil's mother or sister when she cannot support herself; for this must be held valid. For the case of what is expended for that purpose is not the same as that of what is laid out under the name of a gift or legacy.
