[IDEM libro eodem. ] §48.13.8.prQui, cum in moneta publica operarentur, extrinsecus sibi signant pecuniam forma publica uel signatam furantur, hi non uidentur adulterinam monetam exercuisse, sed furtum publicae monetae fecisse, quod ad peculatus crimen accedit.
[By the same author, in the same book.] Those who, while working in the public mint, illegally coin money for themselves using the public die or steal money already coined, are not deemed to have committed the crime of counterfeiting money, but rather to have committed theft of public money, which class of offense approaches the crime of embezzlement.
§48.13.8.1Si quis ex metallis Caesarianis aurum argentumue furatus fuerit, ex edicto diui Pii exilio uel metallo, prout dignitas personae, punitur.
If anyone steals gold or silver from the imperial mines, he is punished, according to the edict of the Divine Pius, by exile or by the mines, depending on the status of his person.
is autem, qui furanti sinum praebuit, perinde habetur, atque si manifesti furti condemnatus esset, et famosus efficitur.
On the other hand, he who has offered his pocket to the thief is treated in the same manner as if he had been convicted of manifest theft, and is rendered infamous.
qui autem aurum ex metallo habuerit illicite et conflauerit, in quadruplum condemnatur.
Furthermore, he who has unlawfully possessed gold from a mine and melted it down is condemned to four times the value.
