[IULIANUS libro quadragensimo primo digestorum. ] §39.1.13.prCum procurator opus nouum nuntiat et satisdat rem ratam dominum habiturum et remissio in domini personam confertur: §39.1.13.1Si dominus opus nouum nuntiauerit intra diem, quae stipulatione ex operis noui nuntiatione interposita comprehensa esset, committitur stipulatio: si praeterita ea die dominus nuntiaret, non committitur.
[JULIAN, Digest, book forty-one.] When a representative gives notice of a new work and provides security that the principal will ratify the matter, and the waiver is granted to the person of the principal: If the principal should give notice of a new work within the period which was included in the stipulation entered into on the basis of the notice of a new work, the stipulation is forfeited; if the principal should give notice after that period has elapsed, it is not forfeited.
nam et ipsi domino, cum semel nuntiauerit, non permittitur iterum nuntiare, quamdiu stipulatio ex operis noui nuntiatione teneret.
For even the principal himself, once he has given notice, is not permitted to give notice a second time as long as the stipulation arising from the notice of a new work remains binding.
§39.1.13.2Si in remissione a parte eius, qui opus nouum nuntiauerat, procurator interueniat, id agere praetorem oportet, ne falsus procurator absenti noceat, cum sit indignum quolibet interueniente beneficium praetoris amitti.
If, in the matter of the waiver on the part of the person who had given notice of a new work, a representative should intervene, the praetor ought to see to it that an unauthorized representative does not prejudice the absent principal, since it is unjust that a benefit of the praetor should be lost through the intervention of just anyone.
