Ex libro XV
Celsus, Digest, Book XV. Where a partnership has been formed with the understanding that Titius shall have the regulation of the shares, and Titius dies before he renders a decision, the partnership is void; because the intention was that no other partnership should exist than that which is subject to the decision of Titius.
Celsus, Digest, Book XV. Where a son, being compelled by his father, marries a woman whom he would not have married if he had been left to the exercise of his own free will, the marriage will, nevertheless, legally be contracted; because it was not solemnized against the consent of the parties, and the son is held to have preferred to take this course.
Celsus, Digest, Book XV. “Domitius Labeo to his friend Celsus, Greeting. I ask whether he is to be included in the number of witnesses who, after having been requested to write a will, attached his seal to the same after he had done so.” “Jubentius Celsus, to his friend, Labeo, Greeting. I either do not understand the point with reference to which you desire to consult me, or your request for advice is certainly foolish, for it is ridiculous to doubt whether such a person can act as a witness, since he himself drew up the will.”
Celsus, Digest, Book XV. Where a father ordered a dowry to be given to his daughter, to be fixed by the judgment of her guardian, Tubero says that this should be considered just as if the dowry had been bequeathed to her to the amount which would be approved of by a reputable citizen. Labeo asks in what way a dowry can be fixed for a girl in accordance with the judgment of a good citizen. He says that this is not difficult when the rank, the means, and the number of children of the party who made the will are taken into account.
