[TRYPHONINUS libro quinto decimo disputationum. ] §37.14.23.prSi filius patris necem inultam reliquerit, quam seruus detexit et meruit libertatem, dixi non habendum pro patroni filio, quia indignus est.
[TRYPHONINUS, in the fifteenth book of Disputations.] If a son has left the murder of his father unavenged, which a slave exposed and thereby earned his freedom, I have said that he is not to be regarded as the son of a patron, because he is unworthy.
§37.14.23.1Cum ex falsis codicillis, qui ueri aliquo tempore crediti sunt, heres ignorans quasi ex fideicommisso libertatem seruis praestitisset, rescriptum est a diuo Hadriano liberos quidem eos esse, sed aestimationem sui praestare debere: et hos libertos manumissoris esse recte probatur, quia saluum est etiam in his libertis ius patroni.
When an heir, being ignorant, had granted freedom to slaves on the basis of a false codicil, which for a certain time was believed to be genuine, as if under a trust, it was replied in a rescript by the Divine Hadrian that they were indeed free, but must pay the estimation of themselves; and it is rightly established that these freedmen belong to the manumitter, because even in the case of these freedmen, the right of the patron is preserved.
