[IDEM libro sexto responsorum. ] §46.3.76.prModestinus respondit, si post solutum sine ullo pacto omne, quod ex causa tutelae debeatur, actiones post aliquod interuallum cessae sint, nihil ea sione actum, cum nulla actio superfuerit: quod si ante solutionem hoc factum est uel, cum conuenisset, ut mandarentur actiones, tunc solutio facta esset mandatum subsecutum est, saluas esse mandatas actiones, cum nouissimo quoque casu pretium magis mandatarum actionum solutum quam actio quae fuit perempta uideatur.
[THE SAME, in his sixth book of Responses.] Modestinus replied that if, after everything that was owed on account of guardianship was paid without any agreement, the actions were assigned after some interval of time, nothing was accomplished by that assignment, since no action remained; but if this was done before payment, or if, when it had been agreed that the actions should be assigned, payment was then made and the mandate followed, the assigned actions are preserved, since in the latter case also, the price of the assigned actions is seen to have been paid rather than the action which existed being extinguished.
