[MARCELLUS libro octauo decimo digestorum. ] §42.8.12.prSi pater filio familias liberam peculii administrationem dederit, non uidetur ei et hoc concessisse, ut in fraudem creditorum alienaret: talem enim alienationem non habet.
[MARCELLUS in the eighteenth book of the Digests.] If a father has given to his son-in-power the free administration of his peculium, he is not deemed to have granted him this as well, namely, that he may alienate in fraud of creditors; for he does not possess such power of alienation.
at si hoc quoque concessit filio pater, ut uel in fraudem creditorum facere possit, uidebitur ipse fecisse et sufficient competentes aduersus eum actiones.
But if the father has granted this also to his son, that he may act even in fraud of creditors, he himself will be deemed to have done it, and the appropriate actions against him will be sufficient.
etenim filii creditores etiam patris sunt creditores, cum eius generis uidelicet habebunt actionem, ut his de peculio praestari necesse sit.
For indeed, the creditors of the son are also the creditors of the father, since they will of course have an action of such a kind that it is necessary for them to be paid from the peculium.
