De furibus balneariis

(Concerning Thieves Who Steal in Baths.)

1Ulpianus libro octavo de officio proconsulis. Fures nocturni extra ordinem audiendi sunt et causa cognita puniendi, dummodo sciamus in poena eorum operis publici temporarii modum non egrediendum. idem et in balneariis furibus. sed si telo se fures defendunt vel effractores vel ceteri his similes nec quemquam percusserunt, metalli poena vel honestiores relegationis adficiendi erunt.

1Ulpianus, On the Duties of Proconsul, Book VIII. Nocturnal thieves should be arbitrarily tried and punished when proper cause is shown, provided we take care that no greater penalty is inflicted than that of labor on the public works. The same rule applies to thieves who steal in baths. If, however, the thieves defend themselves with weapons, or if they have broken in, or have done anything of this kind, but have not struck anyone, they shall be sentenced to the mines, and those of superior social position shall be exiled.

2Marcianus libro secundo iudiciorum publicorum. Sed si interdiu furtum fecerunt, ad ius ordinarium remittendi sunt.

2Marcianus, Public Prosecutions, Book II. If they commit theft in the daytime, they should be tried in the ordinary way.

3Paulus libro singulari de poenis militum. Miles, qui in furto balneario adprehensus est, ignominia mitti debet.

3Paulus, On the Punishment of Soldiers. A soldier who has been caught stealing a bath should be dishonorably discharged from the service.
