[IDEM libro undecimo responsorum. ] §38.2.47.prPaulus respondit exheredationem nepotis, quae non notae gratia, sed alio consilio adiecta est, nocere ei non oportere, quo minus contra tabulas libertorum aui bonorum possessionem petere possit.
[THE SAME, in the eleventh book of Responses.] Paulus answered that the disinheritance of a grandson, which was added not for the sake of censure but for some other purpose, ought not to harm him to the extent of preventing him from being able to seek possession of the goods of the freedmen of his grandfather contrary to the tablets of the will.
§38.2.47.1Quaero, an, si Titia patroni filia iactat Titium patrem suum, priusquam moreretur, litteras ad se fecisse, quibus adicerets per libertos suos maleficiis appetitum easque litteras se secutam post mortem patris libertos accusare, an aliquid ei prodesse possit haec excusatio.
I ask whether, if Titia, the daughter of a patron, alleges that Titius her father, before he died, wrote a letter to her in which he added that he had been targeted with crimes by his freedmen, and that she, following that letter, accused the freedmen after her father's death, this excuse can be of any benefit to her.
Paulus respondit eam, quae ex uoluntate patris accusauit, non debere repelli a bonorum possessione contra tabulas, quoniam non suum iudicium, sed alienum exsecuta est.
Paulus answered that she who accused according to the will of her father ought not to be repelled from the possession of goods contrary to the tablets, since she executed not her own judgment, but that of another.
§38.2.47.2Patroni filius epistulam talem liberto emisit: 'Sempronius Zoilo liberto suo salutem.
The son of a patron sent such a letter to a freedman: 'Sempronius sends greeting to Zoilus his freedman.
ob merita tua fidemque tuam, quam mihi semper exhibuisti, concedo tibi liberam testamenti factionem'. quaero, an patroni filio nihil relinquere debeat.
On account of your merits and your loyalty, which you have always shown to me, I grant you the free power of making a will.' I ask whether the freedman is obliged to leave nothing to the son of the patron.
§38.2.47.3Paulus respondit eum libertum, de quo quaeritur, liberam testamenti factionem consecutum non uideri.
Paulus answered that the freedman in question does not seem to have obtained the free power of making a will.
Paulus respondit nepotem etiam post mortem aui conceptum superstite liberto bonorum possessionem contra tabulas liberti auiti petere posse et ad hereditatem legitimam eius admitti: responsum enim Iuliani tantum ad hereditatem legitimam, item bonorum possessionem aui petendam pertinere.
Paulus answered that a grandson, even if conceived after the death of his grandfather, provided the freedman survives, can seek possession of goods contrary to the tablets of the grandfather's freedman and be admitted to his statutory inheritance; for the response of Julian pertains only to the statutory inheritance, likewise to seeking the possession of the goods of the grandfather.
§38.2.47.4Paulus respondit, quamuis filii a patre milite praeteriti pro exheredatis habeantur, tamen non eo usque silentium patris eis nocere debere, ut et a bonis libertorum auitorum repelli debeant.
Paulus answered that, although sons passed over by a soldier father are held as disinherited, nevertheless the father's silence ought not to harm them to such an extent that they should also be repelled from the goods of their grandfathers' freedmen.
idem responsum est etiam de bonis libertorum paternorum.
The same was answered also concerning the goods of the father's freedmen.
