[IDEM libro quadragensimo tertio digestorum. ] §40.7.13.prSi quis ita libertatem dedisset 'Stichus, si eum heres meus testamento suo non manumiserit, liber esto', secundum uoluntatem defuncti hoc significari uidetur 'si testamento suo heres non adscripserit ei libertatem'.
[IDEM libro quadragensimo tertio digestorum.] If anyone has given freedom in this manner: "Let Stichus be free, if my heir has not manumitted him by his own testament", according to the will of the deceased this seems to signify "if the heir has not written down freedom for him in his testament".
quare si quidem heres libertatem seruo testamento suo dederit, defectus condicione uidetur: si non dederit, impleta condicione ultimo uitae tempore heredis ad libertatem perueniet.
Therefore, if the heir has indeed given freedom to the slave in his testament, he is deemed to have failed the condition; if he has not given it, the condition being fulfilled, he will arrive at freedom at the last moment of the heir's life.
§40.7.13.1Seruus communis liber esse iussus ita 'si decem dederit' ex peculio dare potest, quod quocumque modo adquisitum habuerit: nec refert, apud heredem id an apud socium fuerit et heredi an extraneo dare iussus sit.
A common slave ordered to be free in this manner, "if he gives ten", can pay it from his peculium, which he has acquired in any way whatsoever; and it does not matter whether it is in the hands of the heir or of the partner, and whether he is ordered to give it to the heir or to a stranger.
nam per omnia causae statuliberi applicatur: qui condicionis implendae gratia alienare peculiares nummos potest.
For in all respects the case of a statuliber applies to him, who for the sake of fulfilling the condition can alienate peculium money.
§40.7.13.2Si duo serui rationibus redditis liberi esse iussi fuerint et separatim rationes gesserint, non dubie separatim quoque condicioni parere poterunt.
If two slaves are ordered to be free upon rendering accounts and they have managed their accounts separately, there is no doubt that they can also fulfill the condition separately.
sed si actus eorum communiter gestus ita immixtus fuerit, ut separari non possit, necessario alter cessando alterius libertatem impediet. nec uidebitur condicio in alterius persona impleta, nisi id, quod computatione rationum habita reliquum fuerit, aut uterque aut alter totum soluerit.
But if their management, being conducted jointly, was so mixed that it cannot be separated, of necessity one, by doing nothing, will impede the freedom of the other; nor will the condition be deemed to be fulfilled in the person of either of them, unless either both or one of them has paid the whole of the balance remaining after the calculation of the accounts is made.
§40.7.13.3Qui ita liber iussus est 'si iurauerit se Capitolium ascensurum', confestim ut iurauerit, quamuis Capitolium non ascenderit, liber erit.
He who is ordered to be free in this manner, "if he swears that he will ascend the Capitol", will be free immediately upon swearing, even if he does not ascend the Capitol.
§40.7.13.4Seruus heredis rem ipsius heredis dare iussus et liber esse ad libertatem perueniet, quia potest testator et sine ulla dandi condicione heredis seruum manumitti iubere.
A slave of the heir, ordered to give a thing of that very heir and to be free, will arrive at freedom, because the testator can also order the slave of the heir to be manumitted without any condition of giving.
§40.7.13.5Haec scriptura 'Stichus cum erit annorum triginta, liber esto.
This writing, "Let Stichus be free when he is thirty years of age.
Stichus si 'decem non dederit, liber ne esto' hanc uim habet 'Stichus si decem dederit et ad annos 'triginta peruenerit, liber esto': namque ademptio libertatis uel legati sub condicione facta incipit contrariam condicionem legato uel libertati, quae prius data erat, iniecisse.
Let Stichus not be free if he does not give ten", has this effect: "Let Stichus be free if he gives ten and reaches thirty years of age"; for the ademption of freedom or of a legacy made under a condition is deemed to have imposed a contrary condition upon the legacy or freedom which had previously been given.
