[IDEM libro secundo opinionum. ] §50.4.3.prEt qui originem ab urbe Roma habent, si alio loco domicilium constituerunt, munera eius sustinere debent.
[IDEM, In the Second Book of Opinions.] And those who have their origin from the city of Rome, if they have established their domicile in another place, must bear its burdens.
H §50.4.3.1is, qui castris operam per militiam dant, nullum municipale munus iniungi potest.
No municipal burden can be imposed on those who perform active military service in camps.
ceteri autem priuati, quamuis militum cognati sunt, legibus patriae suae et prouinciae oboedire debent.
Other private individuals, however, even if they are relatives of soldiers, must obey the laws of their own municipality and province.
§50.4.3.2Si in metallum datus in integrum restitutus sit, perinde ac si nec damnatus fuisset, ad munera uel honores uocatur: nec opponet fortunam et casus tristiores suos ad hoc solum, ne patriae idoneus ciuis esse uideatur.
If a person sentenced to the mines has been restored to his former status, he is called to burdens or honors just as if he had not been condemned; nor shall he bring forward his misfortune and sadder circumstances for this sole purpose, namely, that he may not appear to be a suitable citizen for his municipality.
§50.4.3.3Corporalia munera feminis ipse sexus denegat.

§50.4.3.4Quo minus honores aut munera iniungantur filio, si nullam habet excusationem, intercedere pater, in cuius potestate est, ius non habet.
A father, in whose power a son is, has no right to intercede to prevent honors or burdens from being imposed on his son, if the son has no excuse.
§50.4.3.5Quod pater non consensit honoribus siue muneribus filii, ne illius patrimonium oneri subiciatur, praestat defensionem, non ciuem patriae utilitatibus quatenus potest aufert.
The fact that a father did not consent to the honors or burdens of his son only provides a defense lest his own patrimony be subjected to the burden; it does not, so far as possible, deprive the municipality of a citizen for its utility.
§50.4.3.6Quamuis maior annis septuaginta et quinque liberorum incolumium pater sit ideoque a muneribus ciuilibus excusetur, filii tamen eius suo nomine competentia munera adgnoscere debent: ideo enim proprium praemium immunitatis propter filios patribus datum est, quod illi subibunt.
Although a father is over seventy years of age and has five surviving children, and is therefore excused from civil burdens, his sons must nevertheless accept the burdens falling upon them in their own name; for the specific reward of immunity given to fathers on account of their children is granted for this very reason, that those children will undergo them.
§50.4.3.7Uitricus onera munerum ciuilium nomine priuigni sui suscipere nulla iuris ratione cogitur.
A stepfather is compelled by no legal principle to undertake the burdens of civil duties in the name of his stepson.
§50.4.3.8Liberti muneribus fungi debent apud originem patronorum, sed si sua patrimonia habent suffectura oneribus: res enim patronorum muneribus libertinorum subiecta non est.
Freedmen must perform burdens in the place of origin of their patrons, but only if they have their own patrimonies sufficient for the burdens; for the property of patrons is not subject to the burdens of freedmen.
§50.4.3.9Quod pater in reatu criminis alicuius est, filiis impedimento ad honores esse non debet.
The fact that a father is under accusation for some crime must not be an obstacle to his sons for attaining honors.
§50.4.3.10Decaprotos etiam minores annis uiginti quinque fieri, non militantes tamen, pridem placuit, quia patrimonii magis onus uidetur esse.
It was long ago decided that even those under twenty-five years of age, provided they are not performing military service, can become decaproti, because this is seen as more of a burden on patrimony.

It is established that the collection of taxes is a burden on patrimony.
§50.4.3.12Cura frumenti comparandi munus est, et ab eo aetas septuaginta annorum uel numerus quinque incolumium liberorum excusat.
The management of purchasing grain is a burden, and from it, seventy years of age or a number of five surviving children provides exemption.
§50.4.3.13Eos milites, quibus superuenientibus hospitia praeberi in ciuitate oportet, per uices ab omnibus, quos id munus contingit, suscipi oportet.
Those soldiers who, upon their arrival, must be provided with lodging in the city, ought to be received in turn by all those on whom that burden falls.
§50.4.3.14Munus hospitis in domo recipiendi non personae, sed patrimonii onus est.
The burden of receiving a guest in one's home is not a personal burden, but a burden on patrimony.
§50.4.3.15Praeses prouinciae prouideat munera et honores in ciuitatibus aequaliter per uices secundum aetates et dignitates, ut gradus munerum honorumque qui antiquitus statuti sunt, iniungi, ne sine discrimine et frequenter isdem oppressis simul uiris et uiribus res publicae destituantur.
The governor of the province should see to it that burdens and honors in cities are imposed equally in turn according to age and rank, so that the degrees of burdens and honors established since ancient times may be applied, lest, by the same individuals being oppressed indiscriminately and frequently, public affairs be abandoned along with the loss of both men and resources.
§50.4.3.16Si duo filii in patris potestate sint, eodem tempore munera eorum pater sustinere non compellitur.
If two sons are in the power of their father, the father is not compelled to bear their burdens at the same time.
§50.4.3.17Si is, qui duos filios relinquebat, nihil de expediendis muneribus alterius filii ex communi patrimonio supremis suis cauit, propriis sumptibus is et munera et honores, qui ei iniungentur, suscipere debet, quamuis pro altero uiuus pater eiusmodi onera expedierit.
If a person who left two sons made no provision in his last will concerning the execution of the burdens of one of the sons out of the common patrimony, that son must undertake both the burdens and the honors imposed on him at his own expense, even though the father, during his lifetime, discharged such burdens for the other son.
