Summary

Paulus quotes a rescript of the Divine Pius Antoninus stating that the possession of goods contrary to the will (bonorum possessio contra tabulas) should not be granted with respect to the camp assets of a soldier's son.

[PAULUS libro septimo quaestionum. ] §29.1.30.prnam in bona castrensia non esse dandam contra tabulas filii militis bonorum possessionem diuus Pius Antoninus rescripsit.
[PAULUS, in his seventh book of Questions.] For the Divine Pius Antoninus replied by rescript that, with respect to camp assets, the possession of goods contrary to the will of a soldier's son should not be granted.

Notes

  1. 29.1.30.prfilii militis — Meaning 'the son who is a soldier,' referring to a son under paternal power who has the status of a soldier (filius familias miles). The genitive 'militis' functions appositively or as a genitive of description modifying 'filii'.
  2. 29.1.30.prin bona castrensia — The preposition 'in' with the accusative means 'with respect to' or 'against'. Here it indicates the scope of assets (the camp peculium) to which the claim for possession of goods contrary to the will is not applicable.
