Pomponius states that it is a well-established legal rule that nothing is owed even to fathers from the military property of their sons.

[POMPONIUS libro singulari regularum ex nota MARCELLI.] §49.17.10.prConstat nec patribus aliquid ex castrensibus bonis filiorum deberi.
[POMPONIUS in his single book of Rules, with a note by MARCELLUS.] It is well established that nothing is owed even to fathers from the military property of their sons.

Notes

  1. §49.17.10.prnec patribus aliquid ... deberi — An accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) construction introduced by the impersonal verb Constat ("it is well established"). The subject accusative of the passive infinitive deberi ("to be owed") is aliquid ("something"), which, combined with the negative conjunction nec ("and not/not even"), means "nothing is owed." The dative patribus functions as the dative of reference or indirect object of deberi ("to fathers").
