[CALLISTRATUS libro tertio de cognitionibus. ] §48.10.31.prDiuus Pius Claudio rescripsit pro mensura cuiusque delicti constituendum in eos, qui apud iudices instrumenta protulerunt, quae probari non possint: aut si plus meruisse uideatur, quam ex forma iurisdictionis pati possint, ut imperatori describatur aestimaturo, quatenus coerceri debeant.
[CALLISTRATUS, in the third book on Extraordinary Trials.] The Divine Pius wrote in a rescript to Claudius that a penalty should be determined, according to the measure of each offense, against those who have produced before judges documents that cannot be proved; or, if any of them should seem to have deserved more than they can suffer under the form of that jurisdiction, that the matter should be described to the Emperor, who will assess to what extent they ought to be punished.
sed diuus Marcus cum fratre suo pro sua humanitate hanc rem temperauit, ut, si (quod plerumque euenit) per errorem huiusmodi instrumenta proferantur, ignoscatur eis, qui tale quicquam protulerint.
But the Divine Marcus, with his brother, in accordance with his humanity, tempered this rule so that, if (as often happens) such documents are produced by mistake, those who have produced any such thing should be pardoned.
