[ULPIANUS libro quadragensimo sexto ad Sabinum. ] §46.2.8.prSi Stichum dari stipulatus fuerim et, cum in mora promissor esset, quo minus daret, rursus eundem stipulatus fuero, desinit periculum ad promissorem pertinere quasi mora purgata.
[ULPIAN, in the forty-sixth book on Sabinus.] If I stipulate for Stichus to be given, and, while the promisor is in delay so as not to give him, I stipulate again for the same slave, the risk ceases to belong to the promisor, as if the delay had been purged.
§46.2.8.1Legata uel fideicommissa si in stipulationem fuerint deducta et hoc actum, ut nouetur, fiet nouatio, si quidem pure uel in diem fuerint relicta, statim, si uero sub condicione, non statim, sed ubi condicio extiterit.
If legacies or trust-bequests are brought into a stipulation and it is agreed that there be a novation, a novation will take place; immediately, indeed, if they were left unconditionally or to a certain day, but if under a condition, not immediately, but when the condition has been fulfilled.
nam et alias qui in diem stipulatur, statim nouat, si hoc actum est, cum certum sit diem quandoque uenturum: at qui sub condicione stipulatur, non statim nouat, nisi condicio extiterit.
For in other cases too, he who stipulates to a certain day novates immediately, if this is agreed, since it is certain that the day will come at some time; but he who stipulates under a condition does not novate immediately, unless the condition has been fulfilled.
§46.2.8.2Si quis ita stipulatus a Seio sit: 'quod a Titio stipulatus fuero, dare spondes?', an, si postea a Titio stipulatus sim, fiat nouatio solusque teneatur Seius? et ait Celsus nouationem fieri, si modo id actum sit, ut nouetur, id est ut Seius debeat quod Titius promisit: nam eodem tempore et impleri prioris stipulationis condicionem et nouari ait, eoque iure utimur.
If anyone has stipulated from Seius thus: "Do you promise to give what I shall have stipulated from Titius?", and if I afterwards stipulate from Titius, does a novation take place and Seius alone is bound? And Celsus says that a novation does take place, provided that it was agreed that there be a novation, that is, that Seius should owe what Titius promised; for he says that at one and the same time both the condition of the prior stipulation is fulfilled and the novation occurs, and we follow this rule of law.
§46.2.8.3Idem Celsus ait iudicatum solui stipulatione actionem iudicati non nouari, merito, quia hoc solum agitur ea stipulatione, ut fideiussoribus cautum sit, non ut ab obligatione iudicati discedatur.
The same Celsus says that by a stipulation for the satisfaction of a judgment, the action on the judgment is not novated; and rightly so, because by that stipulation this alone is intended, that security be provided by sureties, and not that there be a departure from the obligation of the judgment.
§46.2.8.4Si decem, quae mihi Titius debet, aut decem, quae Seius debet, a Tertio stipulatus fuero, putat Marcellus neutrum liberari, sed Tertium eligere posse, pro quo decem soluere uelit.
If I stipulate from Tertius for ten which Titius owes me, or ten which Seius owes, Marcellus thinks that neither is released, but that Tertius can choose on whose behalf he wishes to pay the ten.
§46.2.8.5Si ab alio promissam sibi dotem maritus ab uxore dotis nomine stipulatus sit, non duplari dotem, sed fieri nouationem placet, si hoc actum est: quid enim interest, ipsa an alius quilibet promittat? quod enim ego debeo si alius promittat, liberare me potest, si nouationis causa hoc fiat: si autem non nouandi animo hoc interuenit, uterque quidem tenetur, sed altero soluente alter liberatur.
If a husband stipulates from his wife, under the name of dowry, for a dowry promised to him by another, it is held that the dowry is not doubled, but a novation takes place, if this was agreed; for what difference does it make whether she herself or anyone else promises? For if another promises what I owe, he can release me, if this is done for the sake of novation; but if this occurs without the intention of novating, both indeed are bound, but when one pays, the other is released.
non tamen si quis stipuletur quod mihi debetur, aufert mihi actionem, nisi ex uoluntate mea stipuletur: liberat autem me is qui quod debeo promittit, etiamsi nolim.
However, if someone stipulates for what is owed to me, he does not take away my action, unless he stipulates with my consent; but he who promises what I owe releases me, even if I am unwilling.
