[MACER libro secundo de re militari. ] §38.12.1.prMiliti, qui capite puniri meruit, testamentum facere concedendum Paulus et Menander scribunt eiusque bona intestati, si punitus sit, ad cognatos eius pertinere, si tamen ex militari delicto, non ex communi punitus est.
[MACER, from the second book on Military Matters.] Paulus and Menander write that a soldier who has deserved to be punished with death should be allowed to make a will, and that, if he is executed, his property as of one who died intestate belongs to his cognates; provided, however, that he was punished for a military offence, and not for a common one.
